Edward Harold Hatfield

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Like an eagle soaring home to his nest, Edward Harold Hatfield recently soared to his heavenly home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Eddie was born in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Nov. 9, 1957, to George James Hatfield Sr. and Edith Reagan Hatfield. An avid lover of the outdoors, he enjoyed camping and hiking. He was a lifelong member of Calvary Baptist Church and received the Eagle Scout award from Troop 942. In 1982, he graduated from Wingate College, where he was the manager for the men's soccer team. He spent his career in management working for Wachovia Bank and Dancy Construction Co. Eddie was a loving and caring man who volunteered with Samaritan Ministries. He was preceded in death by his father. Surviving are his mother; a son, E. Garrett Hatfield; a brother, Jim, and wife Susan; and a sister, Judy Trexler, and husband Ikey. Also surviving are "Aunt Lou" and "Uncle Bud"; and many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, cousins and special friends. A memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m. today, May 20, at Calvary Baptist Church, with Dr. Guy Hipp officiating. The family will receive friends after the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or to Calvary Baptist Church Boy Scout Troop 942. "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time on and forevermore." - Psalms 125:2.
