Eddie was one of four children born to Olen and Dot Hendon. He was born on July 15, 1951 in Indianola. Eddie studied at Sunflower County Schools where he played football and baseball. He was a Christian and a member of Second Baptist Church, Indianola.

Eddie had a heart as large as this world. His home was one of welcome, with a warm and caring atmosphere. He loved people and was kind and such a compassionate person to all. Eddie had a great sense of humor and his love for Elvis' music made him special. His nickname was Elvis to many. He always enjoyed working on his mustang and riding up and down the strip. You would always see him at one of the local garages.
