He has been living there since September 3, 2017 as he had been battling cancer for a long time. Eddie was born February 12, 1957 in Jonesboro, AR. Eddie was raised by Hugh Lloyd and Alma Ruth Kendrick in Joiner, AR. He attended Rivercrest High School in Wilson and graduated in 1976. He was a retired truck driver, after retiring from driving a truck he worked for Lex and Irene Goble Farms where he drove a truck through harvest time of corn beans and wheat. The rest of the year he was in charge of keeping up the home and yard which he did with pride. Soon, he took over the feeding and caring of Irene's two horses making sure they wanted for nothing. The one thing he loved was to ride the gator with Taffy the dog and check the yard after he finished mowing; of course, he had to hit a few golf balls on his finished product. Eddie was an avid Razorback fan and also enjoyed playing golf with his lifelong friends. Game day barbeques were a favorite of his and he was known for being a grill master.
