Ed was one of the most genuine persons I have had the honor to know. His sweet spirit will be missed. I have so many wonderful memories of Ed (Eddie) from his earlier years.
I was truly better for having known him, and having had the privilege of sharing a part of his life.
My sincerest condolences to his entire family.

My earliest memories of our sweet Eddie are of he and Chris creating, “Chocktaw Vice”, as they rode a piano mover, speeding down the street at our home. They have both had my heart since then.
Though his physical trials were huge and very difficult, he did not complain or ask, “Why me?”. He moved on through his beautiful life and made other’s lives better for knowing him.
I will cherish forever my memories of his beautiful smile and amazing sense of humor.
I will see you again my handsome nephew. I imagine you now, restored and causing laughter, in heaven.
Uncle Bob and I send our heartfelt condolences to your family at Raker and to Jenn, Nathan and your two sets of parents and all who love you!
My love is forever with you Eddie,
Aunt Teri

I met Ed on the dance floor at Carroll College.
He was a rare person who actually listened when someone spoke and he always had a positive attitude. We became fast friends. Everyone he brought into his circle was a gem and better because of him.
My husband and I treasure the years of memories we have together with our buddy, Ed. We traveled the Pacific Northwest, went fishing, skiing, camping, and to many concerts and all nighters both for fun and study. Edward was so proud of his son and happy to be married to the love of his life. Jennifer and Nathaniel are in our prayers.
Love to you all,
Christina, Bret and the girls.
