Edward was the light of his parent’s life from birth, frequently regarded as his mother’s “Joy Boy”. His paternal grandmother, the late Olivia “Honey” Richardson, made him the star of her life, and showered him with love and affection until she entered her eternal rest. Edward was born in Newark, Nj., the youngest of six children. Through life challenges and family support, he was able to overcome many things meant to break him. His resilience, strength and genuine heart will echo beyond the years that remain. Edward was a generous and kind spirit, who loved laughing, traveling, music and experiencing all the many joys of life. Edward also had a passion for sports, especially watching wrestling, and would frequent live matches and entertainment every chance he could. He never let his circumstances prevent him from living his life to the fullest. His wife, Kristal Hall-McDaniel, who he adored and shared a childhood love story with; a very special one to add, that they both got to live out and enjoy together. One that she will continue to cherish deep in her heart, and carry forever with her, in this life and the next. He was truly her world, and she will never forget her Poppa Bear and the love they shared or the life they built together. 

Edward was the proud father of his only biological child, Denelle Jordan, as well as a proud stepfather to Khi’Jhane Hall. Edward doted on his girls any chance he could, and found comfort in being present and making up for lost time.

Edward was a light that effortlessly illuminated through out our family. His presence will truly be missed.
