It is with heavy hearts that we learned of the passing of our dear friend Eddie ().
We first met Eddie at the Bastrop Mardi Gras Festival in 2024, where he was walking around capturing footage for his YouTube channel. From that day on, he made a point to stop by and visit us whenever we were set up around Bastrop—whether at Eden East Farm or in front of Store House Market & Eatery.
Eddie always greeted us with a big smile and a story to share about his love of aquatics and fishkeeping. He would often joke that he had far too many aquariums, though it was clear how much joy they brought him.
Whenever he visited our booth, he never hesitated to tell customers how much he loved our apple butter and Anzac cookies. More often than not, he’d purchase some simply to give away to others. His kindness, generosity, and genuine enthusiasm for supporting small businesses were just a few of the many things that made him so special.
We always looked forward to catching up with him, and his presence will be deeply missed.
Please keep Eddie’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ❤️
