Edward Alexander Thompson

Edward “Eddie” Alexander Thompson, 40, of Salisbury, passed away Thursday morning, July 6, 2023, at his home.

Born February 13, 1983, in Cabarrus County, he was a son of James W. Thompson, Sr. and Crystal Dulin Thompson.  Eddie was preceded in death by his mother, Crystal Broome.

Eddie attended South Rowan High School and Rowan Cabarrus Community College.  He was a talented lead cable technician at DCI for 8 years. Eddie spent his time working just so he could help his one and only child, Kali, through college, and so that he could spoil her sister, Reagan Louise Eagle, who he was “Gruncle” to. When not working, Eddie enjoyed fishing, exploring, reading true crime novels, and taking naps with his partner in crime and sidekick, Scout. A loving and devoted father, son, brother, uncle and friend, Eddie will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Family members include his beloved daughter, Kali Savannah Thompson; brother, James W. Thompson, Jr. (Angela); his father, James W. Thompson, Sr.; step father, Larry Broome; niece Caitlyn Thompson; his best friend, James W. Ferree III (Shannon) and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 1:00-2:00 pm Sunday, July 16th at Whitley’s Funeral Home. Following the visitation, the family invites anyone who would like to attend a celebration of life dinner in the Annex Chapel, to come and share memories with Kali and the family.
