A proud Army veteran, he served his country with honor and distinction, serving in Vietnam. After his military service, Eddie devoted his life to his family, becoming the heart and soul of their home. His warm hugs, which were the best anyone could ask for, will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who knew him.

Eddie’s greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his beloved grandkids, who brought immense happiness to his life. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Lajuana, providing her with unwavering care and support throughout their life together. His love for her was evident in every act of kindness and devotion.

Eddie’s legacy of love, service, and family will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. He leaves behind a family who adored him and a community that will miss his gentle spirit.

In addition to his parents, Eddie was preceded in death by his infant daughter, Amanda Whitwell; brother-in-law, Jim Pipkin; and sister-in-law, Pam Pipkin.
