To: the Dunning family Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Eddie will be greatly missed! George & Brenda Rogers

Eddie was always the cousin who was always stern. I always remember when I would go to his house, I would hang out with Paul as we would always clown. Eddie was always the stern cousin who when he walked in the room, we stopped clowning. Last year was the first time I saw him smile, and that is when we were aunt Shugs house and another cousin called him young.

Your cousin David and family

My condolences to the Dunning.

My cousin Eddie always greeted me with a big smile. He was such a gentle and humble man who loved the Lord, his family and the SC Gamecocks. We will miss him and his beautiful smile.

God has a Master Plan for each of us. His plan for Eddie was for him to help mankind. Eddie stayed true to his "calling". He touched so many lives and they benefited from it. Thanks for your never-ending support Eddie. May you Rest In Peace. Your Cousin, Carolyn Utsey Hawkins.

To all of Eddie's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. Eddie was such an incredible Godly Man, with the kindest most loving heart. I worked with Eddie for 20 years, and just being around him taught me humility and how to be selfless towards others. Eddie was such an incredible man. You will truly be missed my friend. God blessπŸ€™βœοΈ MT

I knew Eddie over the years while working for UES at athletic events. He was always a bright spot of my day when we ran into one another. I remember giving him a copy of the article about how many years he had painted the Gamecock logo at midfield on the stadium field. Eddie had a sense of pride about doing any job well, but without seeming prideful. I am glad to have counted him as a friend. He will be missed. My condolences to his loving family. I think when we get to heaven, Eddie will have already painted the Gamecock logo to anticipate the other Gamecock fans. Wayne Van Leer

To the Dunning family, Eddie will be truly missed. GOD may have taken him home, but his memories will always be with us. He is in a better place with no pain and worries. GOD bless you all.

My condolences to you and your family πŸ™πŸΎ the dunning family

My brother in Christ, my friend , Mr Eddie Dunning you had a heart of gold and a spirit which touch everyone you came in contact with We shared many stories together, we talked about family, biblical scriptures and Gamecock Highlights.

I have attended your home town and church family in Elloree Sc . Eddie your kindness and affectionate smile towards everyone will be greatly missed my friend . I appreciate your constant support throughout my career as a Gamecock , but most importantly that I was always the #2 best running back to George Rogers ! I know God has a seat at the table for you and your family will be blessed for your good works in life πŸ˜‡ HG

Our family has been sitting in section two at Founders Park since it opened. Can always count on a huge smile and wave of a rake from Eddie walking off the field as the sections closest to the Gamecock dugout chant his name. We did not know him personally yet it's clear from his smile and demeanor that he brought joy to others. Praying that the sweetest memories of Eddie bring peace and comfort to your family. ~The Bookstavers

Eddie was a faithful friend for many years to my husband, Swayze. They met years ago at Williams Brice Stadium and became fast friends over the love of our Gamecocks. Eddie continued to help our son support the Gamecocks even after we lost Swayze in 2020. He will be greatly missed. We offer our sincere condolences to Eddie's family.
