In the autumn of 2016, the life of Edward A. 'Eddie Boy' Mahan, a 38-year-old white male from Newark, Delaware, was tragically cut short. On October 6, 2016, he was the victim of a shooting in Newark, sustaining multiple gunshot wounds. For over three weeks, he fought for his life, but ultimately succumbed to his injuries on October 28, 2016. His passing left a void in the lives of his family and friends, who remembered him as a man who cherished his loved ones and had a zest for life.
Eddie was known as a 'people person' who found joy in simple pleasures. He was an avid and passionate fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, and also enjoyed cooking, fishing, and watching the Discovery channel. His love for the beach and family vacations were sources of many happy memories for those who knew him. He is survived by his parents, son, sister, and other loving family members who continue to feel his absence.
