He received formal education from the San Augustine and Huntington, Texas Independent School Districts. After graduating from high school, accomplishments included his employment with Lufkin Foundries where he worked diligently for twenty-eight to thirty years. He was not known to sit around and do nothing. Eddie also had been employed at Angelina College for at least ten years. He always had the urge and willpower to try and do more until multiple illnesses and surgeries overcame him. Being diabetic and treated for dialysis became his downfall, one that he could not overcome. Eddie's livelihood also consisted of his love for music, and socializing with his family and friends.
