So sorry to hear this... He was an awesome person. He came to the Hanna City Tap and he played for Another Fine Mess.. He was a great person. My deepest sympathy for the family

I worked with Eddie in Facilities Management for 12 years. Eddie was one of my favorite people. I worked in the office and he would come in and visit some and I really enjoyed our chats. I know he will be missed. I’m very sorry for your loss and God Bless.

Ed was good friends with my brother, Rick Young, and it was Ed who came to tell me of Rick's death. Ed and I remained friends and I always looked forward to his Christmas cards and occasional visits. He was a wonderful person and friend. Condolences to his family and friends.

Eddie was always so sweet to me. He was also incredibly humble yet quite talented. Whenever he showed up at an open stage I was hosting he made it better.
So sad he is gone. One really fine human being.

Great friend and musical brother. I will never forget the times we had on and off stage over the years. Rest well old friend...

To Ed's Family,
Hearing of Ed's passing leaves me shocked and saddened along with so many of his Bradley  Co-workers.  These past few mornings, arriving at work has not been the same
not seeing Ed in his black Bradley Pick-up, waving at him, conversing with him or him giving me an update on his Sidekick,  Richard.  Family I know you miss him.  His Bradley Family sure does.  Never assuming, always respectful, overall a somewhat quiet intellectual.  I pray your memories of Ed bring you much comfort and joy.  May the God of all comfort grant you His peace now and always. 

Ed was such a good guy, funny and a hard worker!! You will be missed Ed, my condolences to all his family and friends!!

I’m sorry to hear of Eddies passing. He was a member of Central Illinois Vans back in the 1980’s. He drove an early model Ford Econoline van, which was a scarce 8 door model. He was kind and polite and was well liked by the rest of his CIV members. He will surely be missed.

I met Eddie back in the 80's when he joined Central Illinois Vans, a group of avid travelers/campers/partiers, traveling around the States during the Summer.  I believe he had an early model Ford. A fine man, very quiet and composed...much respect for Eddie. Sending prayers of comfort to his family. God Bless

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie…

“Well done my good and faithful servant!” Were the next words you heard as you opened your eyes : )

We go way back! Central H. S. , Jays Garage, Are you ready band, Dirty Works Band, car shows, vanning,… the list goes on. 

You are now able to say hello to so many friends and family, soon we will be able to sit next to you and enjoy everlasting love, and life with our Lord. 

Your mission right now is to send down a guardian Angel and a healing Angel to help our brother in need of a miracle, Kevin. 

We will miss you dearly, but we will rejoice that heaven gained another Angel 

Blessings to you ❤️🙏😎

I met Eddie through my husband they worked at Bradley. I liked Eddie right away he was fun to talk to. He was a great guitarist and bassist. Rest easy Eddie!

Man I don't even know what to say we go back so far we've been in bands together we have played many many shows in the past. I will never forget you you taught me how to use the airbrush and draw. You were a very very good brother to me.
May God comfort you in your new home. in Jesus mighty amen
Love you bro , Reverend Kevin Sibley AKA Flat Top

I have known Eddie since the 80's. Vanning and at work. He used to come up behind me at work and say" tag, your it." The next time I would see him I would tag him back. He will be missed.  By for now. 

Rest in God’s Bosom Brother to be absent from the body is to be present with God! 
Love You
