Paul Edwin Martin was born April 4, 1963, in Magee, MS. He was known as “Eddie” or “Bam Bam” to his family. He was reared and lived his whole life in Copiah County, MS, mostly in the Wesson area.

Eddie loved to hunt and fish, and he spent many hours outdoors looking for that perfect buck, or on a creek bank ready to catch “the big one”. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren, and other family members.  He loved to share his memories of hunting and fishing with anyone who would listen. Anyone who knew him would tell you he was a great “storyteller”.

In 1983, Eddie married the love of his life, Billie Sue. They were blessed with two children, Charlie and Amanda, and four grandchildren. Eddie loved his family above all else.  He was a loving husband, grandfather, and soon to be a great grandfather.

Eddie was preceded in death by his wife, Billie Sue, his parents, Lessie Martin and Ed Harrison, and his sister, Hazel Jackson.

He is survived by his current wife, Rhonda, his son Charlie (Missy), his daughter Amanda (Sidney), his stepson, Jacob, and his grandchildren, Chris (Katie), Gracie, Little Charlie, Skylar, Kynslee, and Layton.

He is also survived by his sisters, Becky(Tim), Quinna (Buck), his nephew Caleb, and his cousin, Larry Martin.

Eddie is also survived by his friends, Jessie Character, Jack Cole, and Dale Roberts, and many other friends and family members.

Pallbearers are Dale Roberts, Wayne White, Lance Hunt, Randy Earls, Randy Moore, and Jack Cole.

Honorary pallbearers are Chris Hamilton, Jessie Character, Jacob Johnson, Sidney Stapleton.

    I am so very sorry. Mr Eddie was a good man and friend. When Candace was in the hospital Mr Eddie would come to my house and water my horses and feed them and feed are dogs and chickens. Then he went to my father's home and watered the cows till we came home and he still came down to help out. He will be missed . To his family I am so very sorry for y'all loss of this good man. Mr. Eddie thank you for being a friend all these years. You was as true as they come. Enjoy your wife and being in the arms of Jesus . I know your happy but us down here are sadden of your time gone on. Love Tracey and Scott McManus
