Eddy Howard Yates

We can’t know why some things happen….but we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief.  And we can know that there’s a place inside the heart where love lives always….and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten. Thank you Eddy for loving my dear friend Cassy and her beautiful children. You impacted their lives in such a special way that will remain in their hearts forever. You we're Cassys angel here on earth, but I know you'll forever remain her guardian angel.. You'll truly be missed.

I'll always have the keepsake eddy gave me, a little part of him. And I'll always be proud of my honorary guest elk-ette title I was given. Glad you are no longer in pain, my dear.

This HAS to be the same beautiful "little boy" that was around two years old when his parents pastored my church in Pineland, Texas. I have wondered through the years what became of that family. So sorry for your loss...sounds like he became a wonderful young man.

Eddy was a great Person!!! I didnt get to work with him very much but the times that I did get to he was always very helpful. If he didnt know the answer to a question that you would ask him he would keep looking or asking until he was able to get you the correct answer. He will be missed greatly but he will never be forgotten!!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends through this hard time.

Uncle Eddy you will be missed. I'm so thankful you found our Lord and Savior in your final years. I will always remember your humor, your great hugs, and your wonderful personality. Although we lived miles apart, you made a lasting impression in our family. Much love and prayers to you always and to your new found family. May they find peace in all the wonderful memories you've made with them. RIP.

Prayers of comfort for all who mourn Eddy's passing.

Eddy was loved by so many people with so many beautiful memories! May God give Eddy's wife, family, and friends comfort in this difficult time.

Eddy you have a special place in my heart, such a kind , fun and respectful person. Our friendship began on the first day of school in the first grade and I still remember that day vividly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

There are so few special , genuine people on this earth - my very good friend Eddy was one of these select individuals. I will miss his enthusiasm for life and his ability to be a friend to all!

Missing ya a lot boss, never would have made it with out your patience, kindness and understanding. Rest now and know you will not be forgotten.
