A life filled with goodness, love, wisdom, and dedication has an everlasting foundation and will live forever. So shall it be with the life of Eddie Featherstone, who departed this life on June 18, 2026 at the Mount Airy Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Eddie was born on September 20, 1942 in Forrest City Arkansas to Willie Featherstone Sr. and Evelina Rosie Smith. He accepted Christ at an early age and united with Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Shell Lake, Arkansas.

Eddie married Claudia Pargo in 1964 and they raised three children, Ray Anthony, Joe Nathan, and Tina Featherstone of Cincinnati Ohio.

Eddie had a great work ethic, and he was known to have a good sense of humor. He could really make you laugh, and at the same time would help anyone he could. Over the years, he was employed with several different companies, some of which were Birdeye and Hunts, in New York; Yale & Towne and Sanyo in Forrest City AR; Vesta, Dawson’s Heating & Cooling in Cincinnati OH, and independently in HVAC.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Tina, Featherstone, his grandson Terrance Featherstone; his parents, Willie, and Evelina; five brothers: Thomas Blackwell and Willie Miller; Willie (Bo) Featherstone; Eugene Featherstone, and Calvin Shepherd; and a sister Lillie Hatley.
