of Broken Arrow, OK

July 10, 1964 - July 18, 2020

Eddie Wayne Beaver, age 56, passed away Saturday, July 18, (2020) at OSU Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Eddie was born July 10, 1964, in Harrison, the son of Linda (Self) Beaver and Charles Edward Beaver, Jr. Eddie was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Bertha (Brock) Self and Frank Algin Self of Yellville; his paternal grandparents, Elsie (Sanders) Beaver and Charles Edward Beaver, Sr. of Flippin; his father's birth mother, Marjorie (Nielsen) Williams, of Washington; and an aunt, Marge (Self) Silva, of San Jose, California.

Eddie was a member of Eagle Heights Baptist Church. He was a graduate of Harrison High School and Twin Lakes Vocational Technical School. He was a member of Boy Scout Troup 40, where he became an Eagle Scout and earned the Order of the Arrow. He loved all sports and played baseball, basketball, and ran track while growing up in Harrison. He also played softball with his dad and older brother, Randy.

Eddie moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in 1995 and started his own business, Eddie Beaver Enterprises, Inc. He created a good life for himself and made many lifetime friends. He played softball on a league in Broken Arrow but finally retired after he turned fifty. He was a great cook and was often the designated cook at gatherings with family and friends. Eddie enjoyed everything about the outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, and his latest passion was ice fishing with his friends in Wisconsin. He was an entertaining storyteller and loved sharing tall tales about his outdoor adventures and mishaps. Although he had a great life in Oklahoma, his heart never left his beloved Ozark Mountains where he grew up floating the Buffalo, fishing the White River, camping at Tucker Hollow with his family, and he remained an avid Razorback fan. He truly enjoyed life.

Eddie is survived by his parents, Linda and Charles Beaver, of Harrison; his two sisters, Susan (Ray) Lamb of Amity, Arkansas and Lori Carol Beaver of Paris Arkansas; his brother, Randy (Cindy) Beaver, of Pea Ridge Arkansas; one nephew, William B. Beaver; and one great-nephew, Mickey Beaver, of Harrison. He is also survived by two aunts, Sayra (Sinott) Mansolino of Riverside, California, and Fran (Stacy) Weintraub of Walnut Creek, California; three uncles, Brock Stacy of Bakersfield, California, Bob (Sue) Williams of Leban, Washington, and Ray (Brenda) Williams of Grayland, Washington; and many cousins and friends.
