Eddie's secret to life was to never give up. He was cherished by many for the different roles he had in their life. He was an oilfield worker, farmer, back road driving instructor for his 3 daughters, brother, uncle, son and the best Pa to his grandchildren and great grandchildren, and last but certainly not least a husband of 55 years. He enjoyed watching old westerns, especially those with John Wayne, crime movies and his daily Young & The Restless. In his passing he leaves a legacy of strength, words of wisdom and all of life's lessons which he unknowingly instilled in his family.

Eddie experienced tremendous loss throughout his life and still had a will to live that brought him through many battles with his own health, that he was never intended to make it through. Our family is honored to have walked this journey of growth, learning and determination with him.
