Eddie Lewayne Craft's Obituary
Eddie Lewayne Craft, age 70, of Springdale, AR
passed away Saturday, March 16, 2024. He was born
October 13, 1953, in Paris, AR, the son of the late
Melton Wayne Craft and Jennie Parks Craft. Also
preceding him in death were his sisters, Sondra Jean
Cobb and Sheila Jane Eagle.
Eddie retired from Marshalltown Company in
Fayetteville. He was a member of Immanuel Baptist
Church in Little Rock and attended Fellowship
Fayetteville. He loved hunting, fishing, golfing, and
the Arkansas Razorbacks. Most of all, Eddie loved
being a husband, father, and grandfather. He was the
ultimate family man and wanted to spend his time
with his family, preferably at a Hog game, at the
lake, or playing dominoes. Eddie had the unique
ability to make everyone he came into contact with
feel like they were part of his family, and in his eyes
they were. Eddie was proud to marry the love of his
life and spend the last 50 years giving her the moon.
Survivors are his spouse, Sheri Fisher Craft; his son,
Brandon Lewayne Craft (Charrisce); a daughter,
Kacie Travis (Derek); his grandchildren, Dellynn
Prince-Travis, Ben Travis, Jack Travis, Ellie Craft,
and Fisher Craft.
