Ed was born in Burlington, North Carolina, and spent his early years in Jacksonville, Florida. Growing up
in Arlington, he attended Terry Parker High School, where he made lasting memories and friendships
that would endure a lifetime.
Ed was a long-time truck driver, and he had an immense passion for his job. His enthusiasm for the open
road was matched only by his ability to connect with people everywhere he went. He truly never met a
stranger, and his warm smile and friendly demeanor touched the hearts of those he encountered during
his travels.
During his time in Jax, Ed was a member of the Arlington United Methodist Church where he attended
with his late Mother Ruth Somers.
In later years, Ed moved to Savannah, Georgia, to live with his beloved son and daughter-in-law. Despite
the change in scenery, his love for family and life remained unwavering.
Ed will be remembered as a loving father, a dedicated truck driver, a friend to all, and a faithful servant
of God. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
The family will be holding a private service to celebrate his life, details will be available at a later time. In
lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Ed's name to the American Lung
Association.
