OBITUARY
 Eddie
Ray Montgomery
1944-2015
Eddie Ray Montgomery, 71, passed away on 22 October 2015 at his home in
Spring, TX. He was born on June 26, 1944 in Dallas, TX to Frank and
Willie Nell McMurry Montgomery. Eddie grew up in Carrollton, TX. He
graduated from Carrollton High School in 1962. After high school, he
attended North Texas State University. He married Mary Lou Morris and
began to work in the Insurance industry, where he worked for 50 years
and served as a mentor to many.
Eddie married Mary Lou in 1966 at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, in
Farmers Branch, TX. They were happily married for 50 years. Eddie was a
member of St. Edward Catholic Church in Spring, TX.
Eddie enjoyed music and expressed it with whistling everywhere he went.
He loved sports and always coached his children's teams. He never met a
stranger and touched every life he interacted with in a special way. He
was Dad, Daddy, Papa, Grandpa, Mister Ed and Uncle Ed. He was devoted to
his wife and family, which included all the "adopted" children in the
neighborhood and friends of his children, and his grandchildren/dogs.
Eddie had a beautiful and contagious smile, and his hugs could take away
every ill feeling in the world. His kindness was limitless, his
knowledge vast, and his heart as colossal as his stature.
Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Willie Nell; his
in-laws, Harry and Uva Morris and his granddog, Tobey. Eddie is survived
by his spouse Mary Lou of Spring, TX; his son and daughter-in-law,

and Maximus, the granddogs; his half-sister, Gina Takalo of Dickson, TN
and her family; his sisters/brothers-in law who were truly his siblings;
a multitude of nieces and nephews and their spouses, as well as
grand-nieces and nephews.
