Edward Glenn Housley, age 74 of San Angelo, TX, passed away peacefully on January 31, 2024. Eddie was born to Harold D. and Nettie Buffalo Housley on May 11, 1949 in Jonesboro, AR.

Eddie was a 1967 graduate of Valley View High School and attended Arkansas State University – Beebe. He served 7 years in the Arkansas National Guard, 875th Engineer Battalion while working on the family farm. He was a 33rd Degree Mason at the Cardinal Lodge in Weiner, AR where he served as Worshipful Master for several years. He was also a member of the Scottish Rite in Little Rock, AR. Eddie was a devout Methodist, loved his church Sierra Vista UMC, and his Sunday School CC Class. Eddie loved to fish with his family and spent many hours on the lake waiting for the crappie to start biting. He enjoyed taking his grandson Will turkey hunting and could not wait for his son Matt to turn 16, so he did not have to deer hunt any longer.

They lived on the family farm for 10 years before moving to Batesville, AR to pursue other ventures.
