Known by those closest to him as Fast Eddie or Eddie Bob, Ed dedicated his life to the practice of improving other's quality of life through dentistry, laughter and steadfast compassion.

Taken too soon from his beloved family and friends, but forever remembered through stories and memories only adventure novels could rival. He leaves behind his two beautiful daughters, Leigh Finney and Katie Cantrell, whom his pride was unwavering; his parents, Robert L. and Patsy J. Humphrey, who raised this wild child into the man and father he became; his 2 younger siblings, sister Donna Hammond (husband John) whom he confided in and leaned on throughout his life, and his brother Dale Humphrey (wife Gloria) who gave him 2 more prides of joy - his nephew & niece, Rob and Mary Humphrey. He is preceded in death by his father, William Edward Cantrell Sr. A memorial service will be held at 3:00PM on Sunday, February 26, 2017 at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home, John Rush officiating.

Ed, you were my dear friend as well as my dentist. I just saw you a few months ago in Texarkana at your dentist office. You loved my Jim and I loved you because of that. Heaven got a new angel. I just heard the news and so sorry I missed your service.

I met Ed in 1999 when I moved to Texarkana, AR. We shared many of the same good friends, and enjoyed many priceless times together. Ed was good company and fun to be around. I admired his good mind and enjoyed conversations on an array of topics. Though neither of us grew up in Texarkana, it will always feel like a second home to me and I know it did for Ed. Ed was a good man who had a good life filled with many friends and exciting life experiences. I am glad to be counted as one of his friends and like so many others who do too, will miss him greatly.
