David Edwards

            On the evening of May 2nd, 2018 David Edwards passed away peacefully at his home in Columba, South Carolina, he was 69 years old.

            David was born August 27th, 1948 in Washington, DC to the late James Edwards and the late Odessa Edward. He was one of five brothers and six sisters, and the very proud father of three daughters and grandfather to one granddaughter.

            David was a Marine for four years and a veteran of the Vietnam War. He was predeceased by his father James Edwards, his mother Odessa Edwards, his brother Leroy Edwards, and his sister Flossie Marie Edwards.

            David was a wonderful father who often bragged to anyone who would listen about his girls. He was an extremely loyal friend who often put others before himself. He cherished his relationships with friend and family, and was often described as the life of the party. He was an avid Redskins fan, win or lose, and could light up the room with his infectious laughter and constant joking.

            David was loved by many and his memory will live on through his children Amanda Gushard-Edwards, Alexandra Gushard-Edwards, and Anna Gushard-Edwards and his granddaughter Nevaeh Williams. He also leaves his brothers Jimmy Edwards, Willie Edwards, Daniel Edwards and sisters Martha Brannan, Diane Martin, Linda Smith, Vera Edwards, and Felicia Edwards and a host of other relatives and friends who will truly miss him.
