Edward Dewayne "Eddie" Gullett, 58, of Belzoni, passed away Sunday, January 4, 2026, at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson.

Eddie was born on April 8, 1967, in Indianola to John Edward "Johnny" Gullett and Janice McMillian Gullett. He was a 1985 graduate of Humphreys Academy and earned a degree in drafting from Mississippi Delta Community College. He later went to the police academy. Eddie served as a police officer in Indianola and Belzoni for over 10 years, where he worked on undercover investigations and narcotics cases. He then worked as a welder and handyman. Eddie could fix anything. He was a kindhearted man who loved to help anyone, as shown by his heroic final act of organ donation. Eddie was an artist who loved to paint, a musician, and a cook who loved to feed his friends and family. He enjoyed working in his garden, hunting, and fishing. Some of his favorite times were going to his family's hunting camp at Delta National. He will be remembered as a stubborn bull Aries. Above all, Eddie had a strong faith in the Lord and knew his bible from cover to cover. He loved his kids, grandkids, and his "lil' ol' wife." Eddie was a member of Gooden Lake Baptist Church.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Edward and Josephine Gullett, Willie and Beatrice McMillian; stepson, Chad White; cousins, Bobby and Ricky McMillian; and brother-in-law, Colt Evans.
