Edmond "Eddie" Scott Stevens, age 55, of Currie died unexpectedly on Sunday, October 31, 2010 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

He was born December 31, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York, the devoted son of the late George Stevens and Adele Goldstein Stevens.

First and foremost, Eddie loved his family. With his quick wit and outgoing personality he made friends easily that lasted a lifetime.
