He married his high school sweetheart, Peggy Heathcoat, on June 21, 1975, at Calvary Baptist Church in Brownfield. He went on to serve his country as an E-4 Specialist in the United States Army at Ft. Hood through 1978. Eddie worked loyally for Hess Corporation for 27 years. He was a lifelong learner with certifications and degrees in Mechanics, Diesel Mechanics, and Petroleum Technology.

Eddie was a loving husband to Peggy, a proud father of his two daughters, Randi Souter and Kaci Brown, and a devoted Papaw to Pyper and Koby Souter; and Royce, Kyle, and Trey Brown. He was a humble man who loved his wife, his family, his country, and gold-panning. Most importantly, he loved Jesus. He continued his studies with our Heavenly Father on Saturday, December 5, 2020.
