Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I was shocked to hear of Eddie’s passing. Boy do I have memories of him all through our lives. He was something else. I can remember playing in the ditch, my trike in the ditch, playing in the old bus in the backyard and everything from then to partying in his garage. I haven’t seen him lately but I am sure he was still the old Eddie Lee Jones. My condolences goes out to the family and especially to Brian and Ernie. Dawn Plummer Andrews

I don’t even know where to begin. There are just to many good memories. I don’t have any bad. I remember riding around the streets on the golf cart, having birthday parties and always playing the pin ball machines. I just wpent so much time there with my parents and sister. That was such a big part of my life. Uncle Eddie was the life of the party. He will be missed so much and I have and always will hold a special place in my heart for him. I may not be able to be in there in body with my family but I will be there spiritually. Lauren Petro (Niece)
My fondest memories of Eddie were when we’d visit him and Linda in Rocky Mount and hang out listening to beach music, having some suds and enjoying his man cave garage…he was always fun to be around on those visits…my best wishes to Brian and Ernest. We’ll miss Eddie. Michael Twining Raleigh, NC
I have many memories of my brother in law Eddie. From spending summers with him and my sister when I was young; going to the beach, riding a four wheeler, go cart and on his motorcycle with him. The many holidays and get togethers with the family and the many good times we had when I was older with my husband and 2 daughters. My heart is heavy and my love goes out to my nephew Brian and Eddie’s brother Ernest during this difficult time. He will be missed by many and the memories of him will be with me always!

I will always remember Eddie with love and a deep respect for how he treated and cared for my two daughters as they grew up in Rocky Mount. My love goes out to Brian and Ernest during the time ahead. He will be missed and in my thoughts always. We will meet again. May God hold you close.y

As we make our journey throu this life, death is our final stop. We are over come with grief. Even the perfect man, Jesus Christ, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) Jesus said I am the resurrection & the life. (John 1125) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones once again.
