Mr. Edwards, 72, of Glenmora, entered eternal rest on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at Natchitoches Regional Medical Center, Natchitoches.

After a dedicated forty-year career as a truck driver, he retired but never slowed down. He loved motorcycle riding, trucking, and fishing, simple pleasures that brought him lasting joy. He was a jokester who enjoyed ribbing his family and spent much of his life riding his beloved Harleys. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Simon and Mary Edwards; one brother, Michael Edwards; and three sisters, Josephine Burgin, Grace Fowler, and Arleen Edwards.

Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his life partner, Beverly Chevalier of Glenmora; one step-daughter, Crystal Hurt (Jimmy) of Alexandria; two step-sons, Duston Haiko of New Orleans, and Cort Haiko of Glenmora; one brother, Billy Edwards (Linda) of Dry Prong; one sister, Thelma Walters of Glenmora; one half-brother, Charles Edwards (Wanda) of Glenmora; one half-sister, Shirley Butler of Glenmora; three granddaughters, Erin, Sophie, and Mikayla; three grandsons, Jackson, Jackques, and Gabe; and numerous nieces and nephews.
