Life story

Eddie was a loving father, brother, son, and more that left this earth far too soon. He loved every minute he got to spend with his boys Brady, Brandyn, and Bradley. Whether it was fishing, talking sports, or just hanging out, Eddie loved every minute with them. He also loved to spend his time hanging out with his Mom Elva whom he loved with his entire heart. He loved helping her and Cobler at Cob’s, and continued to hang out there when it became Westside Pub by the Asher’s. There’s no doubt that Eddie was the life of the party there!

If he wasn’t at Westside Pub, you could find him at his Dad’s house. His dad never relied on others, but Eddie was his rock.

Eddie was a caring brother to his sister Anita and his brother Doug. He was their best friend, no matter what. Their bond was unbreakable. He loved their kids (his nieces Johana, Alexis and his nephews Nate, Cody) as his own.

Eddie never got to meet his grandkids Cole and Cade Phelps, but he got to know he was going to be a Grandpa for the first time before passing. There’s no doubt he’d be one hell of a Grandpa, and we all know he’s watching over them keeping them safe.

Fly high Eddie Ray!
