I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of Eddie Watkins during this most difficult time of mourning. May our loving Heavenly Father grant you comfort and peace. He promises at Revelation 21:3, 4 to 'wipe out every tear from your eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.' May you find peace by 'throwing all your anxiety on God, because he cares for you.' (1 Peter 5:7)

So sad to hear this news. We all remember Eddie from playing softball in Stapleton. We moved away but we never forgot his smile, laugh or kindness. RIP Eddie, thank you for being you. Our condolences to the family & everyone who loved him. 😇❤️

So sorry for your loss, we send our prayers out and pray God gives you what you need to say goodbye and continue on. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and Eddie is already starting up a league because that's what he loved to do. Blessings to all
