“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.”
II Timothy 4:7-8
Today we gather here as family and friends to celebrate the life of Eddie “Fella” Jenkins. He was born on July 20, 1964 to the late Mr. James Williams and the late Eula Mae Jenkins.
He attended Crystal Springs School. Fella lived a happy life. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, fishing, listening to blues, and watching football, especially the New England Patriots (Tom Brady). He was always willing to lend a helping hand to his family and friends when needed.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Eula Mae Jenkins; father, James Williams, and two brothers, Dennis Jenkins and Willie Lee Williams.
On Sunday, January 14, 2024, Fella peacefully passed away at his home in Byram, Mississippi.
