Eddie, 81 years of age and a resident of Natchitoches, passed away Monday, October 8, 2018, at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center surrounded by his family. He was born on July 30, 1937, to Herman and Eva Johnson in Albany, LA. He was preceded in death by his parents; siblings, Pierce, Curtis, Louis, Robert, Helen, and Charlene; and his father and mother in law, George and Viola Cormane.
Eddie was a Christian man who loved his Savior, Jesus Christ. His relationship with God was the most important thing in his life and a close second was the love he had for his family. He was an excellent provider and shared his love for his God with everyone in his family. For many years he served Calvary Baptist Church as a Deacon. He was a welder by trade and his work afforded him the opportunity to travel the world. At the end of every job, he always looked forward to returning home and spending time with family and friends. Eddie had the gift of telling stories about his life experiences and he especially enjoyed sharing them with his children and grandchildren. He achieved the level of 32nd Degree Mason and valued the relationships he formed with his fellow Masons. He will forever be loved and missed by many.
