Eddie was born April 17, 1960, in Pampa, to James and Beverly Turlington. He grew up in Amarillo, where he was raised by Garland and Beverly Stevens. Eddie was an avid sports fan, loved coaching and had a passion for helping children in any way he could. Eddie was always ready for a pick-up game, whether it was basketball, darts, ping-pong or anything you could keep score in. He loved the celebration of all holidays. He had extravagant Christmas decorations, dressed up for every Halloween, hid huge prize eggs at Easter egg hunts, filled his house with balloons and flowers at Valentine’s and dressed up in character at grandchildren’s birthday parties.  His children and grandchildren were his favorite competitors and loved them all very much.


Survivors include two sons, Josh Turlington and wife Cassi and Tim Turlington and wife Anna, all of Amarillo; a daughter, Misty Ford and husband Brandon of Fort Worth; a sister, Debbie Schooling and husband Lee of Amarillo; two half-brothers, James Turlington and wife Tamara and Chris Turlington and wife Francis ; a half-sister Jana Turlington; a step-sister, Debbie Hotchkiss and husband Kenny; and thirteen grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be made to Kids, Incorporated Scholarship Fund, 2201 E 27th, Amarillo, Texas 79103.
