He spent his formative years in Keene, TX with his mother, father, and 11 elder brothers and sisters. While in Keene, TX, he became an active member of the Seventh Adventist Church. On January 29, 1960, he married the love of his life, Judith A. Hernandez. Eddy enlisted in the United States Army in 1960 where he served at Ft. Sam Houston for two years.

Eddy was a connoisseur of all carnival foods, where he was happy eating nachos, hotdogs, turkey legs, and funnel cake.
