Edward William's, affectionately known as Mr. Eddie, was born to Mary

Atkins and Joe Williams on June 8, 1953. He was the brother of the late

Violet Williams. Edward was married to Eunice Williams.

He was a devoted member of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics

Anonymous where he was highly respected for his wisdom, and insight

in matters concerning recovery and life as a whole. Thirty-seven years

of uninterrupted clean times speaks volumes to the the stature of man that

he was. Mr. Eddie was very proud of his Homegroup, "Suffer No More,"

and was a trusted servant there for many years.

Mr. Eddie or Fast Eddie (as he was also called by friends) was a kind soul

and would help anyone, in any way, at any time! Edward was educated

in the Virginia school system. A highly intelligent man, Mr. Eddie had

a quick wit and would explain life's mysteries so affluently with idioms,

similes, and paradoxes that would make you laugh, cry and examine

yourself ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Mr. Eddie loved the Lord and would spend time in Bible study. He was

also a trained tailor and would sew by hand and tailor his own classy

outfits. Mr. Eddie was full of FUN!

. A day with Mr. Eddie was a day filled with laughter and fellowship!!

Providentially, on July 29, 2019, after a lengthy illness, God in his

infinite wisdom called Mr. Eddie to rest.

He leaves to mourn a son, Eddie, Jr, daughter,Trina Williams, a sister,

Mary Williams, an adopted daughter, Dorthea Alexander, a devoted

friend, Samuel Adams, a devoted friend, Donna Palmer, comrades,

Glenn Hackman and Bruce, a loving Sponsorship family including Robin

Brayboy, Carroll and Sandy" Steve, Martin and a host of family and

friends.

We will miss our friend greatly, but there's one thing for certain, and two

things for sure: Edward Williams is in the arms of the Lord and there will

never be another Mr. Eddie.
