Eddie Elrod

Eddie was born on July 17, 1954 in Cartersville, GA, son of the late William and Ethel Elrod.

Eddie was a hard working family man, and could always be found working on projects and attending events that his grandchildren participated in. He was a very unselfish man, who loved serving others in any way he could. He had an infectious personality and usually could be found laughing about something. Eddie was a true and faithful servant of the Lord and a proud and active member of Zion Hill Baptist Church.

He is survived by his loving wife of forty-eight years, Myrtle Bryant Elrod; sons, Shane (Jill) Elrod and Eric (Amanda) Elrod; grandchildren, Madeline Elrod, Easton Elrod, Amelia Elrod, Nolan Elrod, Jacksyn Elrod; brothers, Tommy and Bobby (Carol) Elrod; sister, Rachel Elrod; several nieces and nephews also survive.
