Mr. Eddie W. Bush was born on February 5, 1937, to Oral Bush and Ellen Thomas in Columbus, Mississippi. Eddie moved to Akron, Ohio at a young age and attended North High School. After high school, he went on to work with his stepfather at the U.S. Concrete Company for many years until the company closed operations in the late 1970s. Later, Eddie worked as a water quality control manager with the City of Akron until he retired in 2001. Eddie was a “go-to” employee at the City of Akron’s Water Department at Lake Rockwell and on several occasions was highlighted as an employee of the month.

As the proud captain of his 8-man motorboat, Eddie was an avid fisherman and could often be found on rivers, lakes, and streams all over the Northern Ohio region. Whenever the Blue Gills were biting or the White Bass were running, you could expect to see him ready for a fun outdoor adventure.

Eddie was a conservative person who enjoyed the simple things in life like sitting with his wife and playing cards. He was an avid and competitive 500 Rummy and Tonk card player who enjoyed winning, even when he didn’t.

He is preceded in death by his wife Mrs. Alice Bush, father, Oral Bush, his mother, Ellen Jackson, and stepfather, Willie Jackson, and daughter Brenda Bush.

His legacy is secured by his children which include Daughters: Debbie Bush, Rhonda Bush, Starlett (Damon, Sr)Mitchell, Mary Ann Bates, and Sandra (Samuel) DeShazior; Sons: Nathaniel Bush, Marvin Bush, and Allen Wayne Hubbard. He also leaves twenty-four grandchildren, a host of great-grandchildren, a great-great-grandchild, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Also cherishing his memory is his “Uncle Son” Earl Thomas.

To God be the glory!!!
