James Edward Maynard

Eddie Maynard, age 68, of El Reno, Oklahoma, passed away on Friday, February 23, 2024, with his wife, Lou Ann and family by his side at home.

Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, R. Glen Maynard and Dorothy F. Rodgers; two brothers; grandson, Daniel Maynard; father-in-law, Billy; and good friend, Ted.

Eddie is survived by his wife, Lou Ann, of 24 years; sister, Debbie, and her spouse Tom; son, Jason, and his spouse Sierra; daughter, Maegan; son, James, and his spouse Reagan; grandson, Lee and his spouse, Hannah, and Gavin; granddaughters, Bailey and Paige; great-grandchildren, Maci and James Houston; sisters-in-law, Tonya, Jackie, and Stephanie; brothers-in-law, Richard and Brian; nephews, Koleby, Stevie, Nick, Brian, Joseph, Wayne, and Sam; nieces, Brenda, Rebecca, Katie, Jessica, and Nicole; 5 great nieces and 4 great nephews.

Eddie worked for 51 years as a body shop manager and Auto Body Tech in the Oklahoma City and surrounding areas. He had a passion of working on cars. He treasured the three Honda Goldwings he owned. He was an avid fisherman, enjoyed sports, was very creative, he could fix or make anything and had a phenomenal sense of direction. He enjoyed working in the auto body industry and “shooting the bull” with his friends and coworkers, Johnny, Justin, Larry, and a host of many others.

We will miss his off-the-way sayings, sense of humor, always being hungry, needing his iced tea, and how he would call into work saying he was “held hostage by his bed”, and his rollover accidents. He loved his dogs, especially Pebbles (Barkie), Jazmyne (momma dog), Little Bit, and granddog, Copper.

Lou Ann and his family would like to express heartfelt gratitude to Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care, especially to Melissa, RN, Shay, CHHA, and Dr. Mark Godish and staff, especially Kaitlyn, PA, and Melissa, office manager.

Funeral Service will take place on Thursday, February 29, 2024, at 10:00 am at Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home. There will be no visitation before services. Viewing will be at the service only. There are no graveside services.
