John David "JD" Edwards, 79, passed away at his residence near Ravenden, Arkansas. He was born in Strawberry and had worked in maintenance at a shoe factory. He enjoyed the outdoors, driving his truck and riding his motorcycle. His fur baby pet companion Sissy is surely missing him.

Survivors include his children: Jason, Timmy, Jamie, Johnny, and Jennifer; several grandchildren; brothers, Dave Edwards of Bono and Billy Wayne Edwards of Oxford, and a sister, Tywana Marie Edwards of Paragould.
