Eddie enjoyed working on his car, playing football (FOREVER #22), basketball, baseball and running track. His favorite type of music was rap, especially, J. Cole, Flatbush Zombies, Eminem, and 50 Cent. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing Xbox with his cousins, fiancé, and friends.
Those who knew Eddie knew he was a quiet, kind, caring, giving, and funny young man. Eddie loved so many and was loved by so many more. He will continue to stay with us through memories and through the people he saved with the donation of his organs.

Condolences to the Dennison-Muniz family, family, friends and acquaintances. Parents should never have to bury their children . My heart goes out to all. His organ donation is just another way to keep his memory and life alive. We may not have all the answers after death, but know he is resting in peace! God Bless all

A father and mother should never have to bury their own child, but that’s what just happened today. I don’t know what to say, do I pray? I got this day committed to memory. I didn’t talk to him much but he was like a friend to me, a role model
And it hurt like hell to see him like that. I still got that tear in my eye from a week ago when I had heard you died and I cried, hoping that it was all a lie.
He was gone to soon, never got to experience much of life the world is cruel and yet it is truly beautiful, he died a hero and surrounded by his family at the funeral. A bright soul who shined brighter than any star, he had already
done so much so far and he could have done more, been more, seen more had more if he was just given that chance.
Forever 22 and forever young, our memories of you will be the song unsung in our hearts for decades to come, we will love you forever Eddie.

Eddie was a person who had a beautiful soul and a smile that would brighten up the room all the time. He was a great kid who was full of life. He didn’t deserve this, he deserve much more of life.
But we will always carry him in our hearts and always in our thoughts forever. Eddie you will be deeply missed by all.
Love you always

Eddie you were taking way to soon! You will never be forgotten! I love you so much Ed. I wish we got the chance to create a strong bond, I know we started but it still sucks we couldn’t continue to build it. You were incredible in so many ways and always made people laugh! Going to miss all the times you would talk to me about your car and how excited you were when the new part came in and you would ask me if dad would be okay helping you put that part on the same night! Going to miss so much that you did ! I love you big bro. Please watch over us as you relax up in heaven. I love and miss you so much Ed #forever22

We little knew that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone for part of us went with you. The day God called you home you left peaceful and left as memories your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you will always be by our side. Our family chain is broken, again and nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. You will forever be loved and deeply missed rest in peace our angel Eddie Jr
