Brasfield

Eddie Franklin Brasfield, 65, of Memphis, Tennessee, entered into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ on July 25, 2026. 

He was born in Blytheville, Arkansas to the late Floyd Marion Brasfield and Mary Juanita Brasfield. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 45 years, Debra Marie Brasfield, who went to be with the Lord on November 27, 2024. 

He is survived by his two boys, Jason Hampton and his wife Ellen, Brian Hampton and his wife Susan, and his only daughter Anna Maddox and her husband Phillip; along with his grandchildren, Caleb, Sarah, Jonathan, Lily, Eden, and Archer. He also leaves a brother Floyd Brasfield and two sisters Donna Brasfield and Noveitta Turner, along with many other relatives and friends.

Eddie was a boiler operator for most of his life and worked very hard to provide for his family. He loved life and was always looking for something fun to do. He found great joy in spending time at the beach in Florida, raising Koi, fishing and the outdoors, gardening, and was a lover of music and animals. 

He was baptized as a young boy in Bakersfield California in the Pentecostal Church. Throughout his life he always expressed faith in God and His Son Jesus and was a member of the Church of God in West Memphis, Arkansas for many years. 

God promises that those who believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
