Ed was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, and FOOTBALL. He loved to especially watch the Buffalo Bills. Even after a life changing accident 13 years ago, he never lost his humor, always wanting to make others laugh. He felt very blessed to be alive and to watch his children grow up. He hoped that his life and story would be an inspiration to others and lead them closer to the Lord. He was a member of Shady Grove Church of God. He was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend. His infectious personality and smile will be forever missed.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Rachel Diane Allen Runnels.
