Eddie Eugene Bryant was born May 31, 1959 in Dallas, TX to George Clayton and Martha Joann (Anderson) Bryant. He graduated from Duncanville High School in 1978 where he took a particular interest in building trades, woodshop, and work study programs (CVAE). This benefited him throughout his professional career. Eddie married Mylinda Martin June 16, 1979. They had a wonderful marriage for 35 years and remained friends until his final breath. They were blessed with two amazing children, Shelby Diana and Ethan Matthew. Eddie supported his family through his mechanical ability, working at multiple shops until finally owning his own. Eddie also developed many friendships due to his love of automotive mechanics and restorations. He never refused to lend a helping hand to fix things for anyone in need. When Eddie wasn’t busy turning wrenches, he could be found coaching various sports, supporting and mentoring his children, or filling his cooler with bass on one of the local lakes. He also loved hunting season and enjoyed the time at the deer lease with his dad and his son.
He is survived by his parents, Clayton and Joann; his children, Shelby and husband James Meador, Ethan and girlfriend Makayla Lattimore; his grandchildren, Jaimee, James Jr. and Sullivan; and many nieces and nephews.
