Edgar F. Simpson, age 78, passed away peacefully at his home in Orlando, Florida, Friday, August 14, 2020. He was born on March 28, 1942 in Riverview, Florida to James and Mary (Kline) Simpson being the third youngest of ten children and twin to his brother Edward Simpson. At the young age of 18 he enlisted in the United States Army. He married on June 21, 1969 to Susan Trulock Simpson and they raised two daughters Jamie and Cynthia. He also had two sons Jimmy and Michael from a previous marriage. He is survived by his 5 grandchildren Stephen, Ali, Brantley, Chris and Grant and one great-grandchild Payton. Eddy was preceded in death by his parents James and Mary; sisters Elaine and Jackie and his grandson Bee. He was a hardworking man who if physically able would have worked until his last day. He went from building bridges in his early years to owning his own construction company “Simpson Concrete” to retiring from the City of Orlando heavy equipment operator. He enjoyed fishing, camping, hunting, traveling and most of all spending time with his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by so many and will never be forgotten.
We love you dad!

Eddy was a good man. I was fortunate to hire him on with the City of Orlando. He helped our teams out with many of the Project Jobs that we had to perform. Many years ago, back in the early 1990’s we were contacted by the governing officials in the Apopka area, asking for assistance with a major clean up & restoration due to a tornado which had devastated many of the communities. After speaking with Eddy & Gerald Mason about mobilizing one of our crews & going to assist these folks, Eddy said “You know it is the Right Thing to do!” He reminded me that if there was any way, any thing that we could do to help those folks in their time of Need, WE needed to do it. Eddy & the Team were sent there to do everything we could to assist them. Our crew worked diligently for almost a month to help clean up those areas that were devastated. I am glad that God brought this man to us, and I am ever grateful for his service and his Friendship. I will miss our conversations we had over the years. So sorry for your Family’s loss. We are ALL praying for your Family in this time. God Bless you. By the way, I know where Eddy is, because I know Who He belonged to. If there is an Excavator in Heaven, Eddy is running it!

Gary Williams says
Susan is the one I’m most concerned with. You & your Family need to do all that you can to care for & provide for your Mom. This is a time of deep mourning & loss. But like i said before, i know with all my heart there is a God, the one true God & Eddie was one of his Sons. Eddie is in a place so wonder filled he would not come back here, even if he could. I first reached out as a representative of our Church and wanted to know if your family has any needs we can help with. Just take care of your family & help hold everyone together. Most importantly, PRAY. GOD will help you folks get through this time. We Love you folks…
