Curt Eddings, age 72, of Mary Esther, FL, passed away on April 23, 2017, after a long 10-year battle recovering from a massive stroke.  He was born to Thilbert Eddings and Flora Parker on December 25, 1944, in Baltimore, MD.

Curt will be remembered for being a loving and hard-working husband, father, and grandfather.  He served his country in the United States Air Force for 26 years, mostly in the Combat Camera squadron and as a Photojournalist.  After his retirement from the military, he began his photography business, Curtis Allen Photography, which thrived for 12 years in the panhandle area.  Curt was an incredibly kind-hearted and generous man whose love for his family and determination to provide for them was the reason for his tireless hard work. His quick-witted sense of humor and magnanimous smile always lit up a room.  He will be greatly missed.

He is predeceased by his parents.

Curt is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Yoshie Eddings, two sons Jeff Eddings and Cris Eddings, daughter-in-law Sarah Eddings, three grandchildren Casey Eddings, Brady Eddings, and Derek Eddings, brothers Bruce Eddings and Bart Eddings, and sisters Margaret Stoops and Flora Bennett.
