Edward Willaim McBride Jr.'s Obituary
Edward William McBride Jr. was born on August 6, 1954, in Longview, TX to Edward and Ellen McBride.
Ed lived and raised his family in Hallsville, while working in the oil field for many years. He was a true free spirit, who loved evening barbecue’s with family and friends, collecting old antiques and looking out over the beautiful East Texas sky, perched on top of his hill off Noonday Road. He was a loyal friend who would give you the shirt off his back or even his very last penny if he thought you needed it.
Ed is survived by his mother Ellen, his children Joe Ed, Tonya, Jody and Kayla, his siblings, David, Eddice and Jerrel, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, distant relatives, and his best friend and grandson, Kyler McBride.
He was preceded in death by his father Edward “Big Ed” McBride and brother Clyde.
