He was born August 22, 1952 in Asheboro, North Carolina to J. C. Parris, Jr. and Frances Parris.
Eddie was a man full of love: Love for his family, love for his Lord, and love for his golf.
He spent most of his career as a public servant in County Government, and served his country in the National Guard.
When not playing golf, Eddie could most often be found sitting back in his recliner, being what he called, “down for the count”.
He is survived by his wife, Janet Parris, his son, John Patrick “JP” Parris, and his two sisters, Linda Waugh (husband Dickie), and Barbara Walker. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
His family and friends will miss him deeply, and will love him forever.
Funeral service will be 11 AM, Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at Doubs Chapel United Methodist Church, with Reverend Donald Burns officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends following the committal in the church fellowship hall.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Doubs Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery Fund, PO Box 522, West End, NC 27376.

We are so sorry for your loss. Eddie was in the National Guard with Steve and we played on a volleyball team years ago for the National Guard. We didn’t have the best team but we had a lot of fun. He was such a nice guy, always happy. Praying for comfort and peace for your family.

I met Eddie back in 1981. We worked together at Randolph County. We played volleyball and golf together. He was a wonderful friend and I’ll miss him. We had a lot of good times together.

And always remember – We all have Strength and Courage; Faith and Hope; all surrounded and held together by the greatest gift you can ever receive, and the most powerful gift you can ever give – Love.
This gives us comfort from within, as well as inspiration to comfort others. One of the greatest words ever is WE.
Be Strong; but know it’s ok to hurt, knowing you can Lean On each other and those around you.
Mike and Cathy Griffin. (Isaiah 26:4)
