Ed was a beloved son of the Lexington, MS community remembered for his kindness, charming personality and endearing sense of humor.

Ed married Kimberly Flowers in 2000 and raised their family in Ridgeland, MS and attended Christ United Methodist Church. He spent his career in medical device sales in the area of vascular surgery.
