Rev. Eddie Anderson

Obituary for Minister Eddie Lee Anderson Jr.

Minister Eddie Lee Anderson Jr. was born on September 2, 1970, in Memphis, Tennessee, to the late Eddie Lee Anderson Sr. and Esther Lee Anderson. On Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at the age of 54, Eddie peacefully departed this life. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Tarek Hugh Anderson, and his nephews Israel Gonzalez and Eddie Starks Jr.

Eddie married the love of his life, Ms. Toria Jackson, on November 12, 2017. From their union, they were blessed with their youngest child, Tarek. Eddie gave his life to Christ at an early age, often imitating preachers after church as a young child. He later acknowledged his calling to the ministry while attending Greater Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, where in December 1998, he received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Throughout his ministry, Eddie served as a Minister at New Life and Hope Outreach Ministries, as well as New Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church.

Eddie was a man of many talents. He had a passion for cooking, and his steak dishes were often compared to those of the finest chefs. He perfected many of his mother’s recipes, including her cherished peach cobbler and family favorite lasagna.

A skilled tradesman, Eddie also attended a plumbing apprenticeship program, eventually earning his Master Plumber certification. He built a solid reputation for his ability to solve even the most challenging plumbing problems.

Eddie’s loving memory will be cherished by his devoted wife, Toria, and their 11 children: Tarek, Sam, Martavius, Darren, Rafeal, Christopher, Summyrth, Khaliyah, Xeniyah, Ashley, and Tirrany. He is also survived by his siblings: Gale (Billy), Gwen (James), Danielle, Eddie (Jeanne), Gregory (Sheila), Glen, and John (Brenda), as well as 15 grandchildren, and a host of family and friends who loved him dearly.
