This October 8, 2021, Eddie took his last breath, surrounded by his children.

Eddie was born in Indiana but grew up in Thompkinsville, KY. After finishing school Eddie moved back to Indiana to begin his life-long career in concrete with Beatty Construction. After a long, hard week of work, he never missed the opportunity to sing in the band at the local Honkey Tonk.

Eddie is preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Margie Schmidt; and by his brother, Herbert “Chip” Schmidt; and his sister, Elaine “Aunt Momma” Headrick.

Edward is survived by his children, Edward “Eddie” Spears and Jackie Elaine; his grandchildren, Emma Spears, Tyler Spears, Meghan Holbrook and Caleb Holbrook; sister, Joyce Vanderpool; nieces, Leann Bray, Morgan Bryant-Spalding, and Paula Adams; and nephews, Timmy Adams and Jesse Headrick.
