May you find comfort at this difficult time in knowing Eddy's spirit lives on. And how Eddy was a blessing while here to more people than you know. I had the pleasure of knowing him as a boy. God is the permanently wired electricity and we are the lamps, when we choose to turn our lights on. Eddys light was (and I'm sure still is) one of the sweetest, brightest lamps I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Peace, prayers, blessings, and yes smiles to all of the family.

Doesn't seem like its been 20 yrs since I first met Eddy working together at AMP.He was one of the first truly good people I met after moving here in 94. Since that time we have shared many good times. We lost touch for awhile and then lo and behold I found him again living next door to my best friend. We we're fortunate to spend some more time together and I am grateful for that. My heart is broken at the thought of such a great, warm, funny and special guy being taken from us much to soon. RIP brother. U will be missed greatly.

Eddy ride like the wind cause God has you in hands now. It was pleasure from the very beginning at Amp watching you and Diane grow from a young love to what you have now as a beautiful love. You will always be forever in my heart and will always love you. The last time we spoke was at Adalynn's Birthday Party and the joy I saw with you and her I will never forget. The joy I saw when you gave her a birthday hug and kiss just touch my heart and you said she was like a daughter to you.
My heart goes out to Diane and family. He was loved by all. May God give you all strength and comfort through this difficult time. I love you all! God be with you always!!β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»
