Eddie and I have been friends since Jr. high school. Fishing and working on International Scout was both of our passion. I will always remember the time we had together and Eddies kindness for helping others. Eddie will always be remembered for his devotion to his family and friends. You will be missed my friend.
Eddie was a funny charming guy who I remember as our bass player in Denver. He had an unusual but hilarious sense of humor. He has a good heart and a great soul. May he rest in peace with our eternal father.
I will miss you
Eddie was a great friend and a good room mate. We had tons of good times together, eating steaks at the Columbine and working on our vehicles. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace my friend.
Eddie was a good man and a good friend. I don’t think he ever met a stranger as he was kind and cheerful to all. He always had a great attitude and he will be missed so much by his family at Gainesville Bible Church.
I never physically meet Eddie, but he always took time to talk to me and always was willing to help. He will be severely missed in the IH community!!!
Our sincere condolences and sympathies to Eddie’s wife, Alyssa, daughter, Gabriella, and all of the Krauss family. He was a good and kind man, who loved his family deeply.
You are my good friend ..whose sense of humor changed my life for the better ! we had great times with the music . .you will remain in our heart. My prayers are with you and your family as you reunite with your father
Eddie, even though I have pretty much stayed in the background, which I guess for a mother-in-law would be a blessing for some people, I have always respected and appreciated your willingness to be there for your family. Just know that you will be greatly missed but always remembered. I am sending prayers for a joyful homegoing. My greatest sympathy for all of your family. Love, Kathy
I only knew Eddie for a short amount of time but It was like I had known him for many years! Eddie and his family are just like family and he will be greatly missed. My heart and prayers go out to Alyssa and Gabby and the rest of the family.
I’m so sorry to hear of my cousin Eddie’s passing. I have so many good memories on the occasions where we spent time together over the years. Eddie was a kind and good man. I haven’t seen him in many years but I miss him. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
Eddie and I were good friends in Denver, I met him in 1992 and became best buds! He was a laugh a minute! We had competitions of who could eat the most hot peppers, What a great guy, He will be missed by many. Our condolences go out to his family and friends as he had many of them!
