Gary Lynn Eddy, 74, of Salem, passed away on Monday, November 10, 2025 in Bridgeport. He was born on November 6, 1951 in Salem, a son of the late James Arthur Eddy and Sylvia Dotson Eddy.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Joyce Billiter Eddy, whom he married on July 3, 1981.
He is also survived by one son, Brandon Michael Eddy of Guyton, GA; four grandchildren; twin brothers, Wade Eddy and wife Debra and Wayne Eddy and wife Nina; and numerous nieces and nephews, and his beloved cat, Hank.
In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his brothers and sisters, Delores Carter, James Eddy, Daniel and Michael Roy Eddy.
Gary had a gentle soul and a heart as big as the outdoors he loved so much. He found peace in nature, whether casting a line while fishing, caring for his yard, or spending hours tinkering on cars. A hardworking man with a heart of gold, Gary was known for his kindness and his easy smile. He loved children and had a gift for making everyone feel welcome. He truly never met a stranger. Those who knew him will remember his generosity, his laughter, and the love he so freely gave to others.
