It’s hard to imagine Main Street without Mr. Eddie. Mr. Eddie was more than just a barber on Main Street. He was one of those people who made Columbiana feel like home.
I’ve known Eddie since I was 16 years old, but over the past four years I was blessed to really get to know him and call him my friend. It wasn’t a week that went by that he didn’t stop by Sweet Tweets multiple times with fresh eggs and a grin on his face, ready to aggravate me. He never let me get away with anything, and I never let him either. We gave each other a hard time every chance we got, and I wouldn’t trade those moments for anything.
Mr. Eddie was one of a kind. He had a quick wit, a servant’s heart, and was the kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back without thinking twice. He spent years behind that barber chair, but he did so much more than cut hair. He built friendships, shared stories, made people laugh, and became part of the heart of this little town.
Main Street is going to feel different without him, and I know I’m not the only one who will miss seeing him walk through my door.
I’m so thankful God gave me the chance to know him and spend the last few years calling him my friend.
Praying for Justin and the entire family. We love y’all, and we’re so sorry for your loss. 💜 💈✂️
Saturday August 1 in the afternoon hours .
Dad stepped upon his eternal fishing boat with our Jesus to fish that golden shore.
Tomorrow we will know more about arrangements and they will be posted.
As of now the shop will reopen Thursday and I will still be honoring the back to school cuts.
The past 7 months have been something special that we shared. We have had so many God Winks.
There will forever be stories told in this shop.
Martin on Main will be in Honor and Memory of Eddie Junior Martin. My Dad, My Hero
Please prayer for our family during this most difficult time.
This is tough - But knowing that Jesus will always keep us together , but this stings.
