James Edward Brison

March 17, 1948 ~ September 20, 2023

Eddie graduated from Holliday, Texas in 1966. He played football for Holliday where he was All District Defensive Tackle. He enjoyed music and decided to teach himself to play the drums and start a band. The band fizzled out, but he always found a way to drum on something, counter tops, steering wheels, fishing boat, it didn't matter where, but he always had a beat going.

Eddie moved to Odessa, Texas in 1968 where he began working for the Robert's Ranch Gas Plant. He worked for 30 years before retiring and settling down in Eufaula, Oklahoma. He got his CDL License and drove a truck for 10 more years before retiring for good.

His all-time favorite past time was fishing, fishing and more fishing but he loved home cooking, fish fry's and above all his family. He loved the Lord with his shole heart and every time he ate a meal he prayed for every single family member he could think of. He looked forward to the family reunions along with the games that were played and the food that was brought.
