Edwin Earl Paris

Edwin Earl Paris Sr. was called home to be with the Lord on January 3, 2022 at his home in Grapevine, Texas at the age of 89. He was a devoted and loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, and friend whose life made a lasting impact on all who knew him.
Born to Chris and Mary Paris in 1932 in Dallas, Edwin spent his childhood in Duncanville. After graduating from high school, he joined the Navy and served as an aircraft mechanic at multiple bases across the U.S. While he was in the Navy, he met the love of his life Francine Watts in October of 1952. They were married on February 14, 1953 and 10 months and 4 days later welcomed their first son Ed Jr. to the world. After leaving the Navy, Edwin and Francine welcomed their second son Larry in 1957.
Edwin worked very hard after leaving the Navy and eventually joined the U.S. Postal Service where he worked for over thirty years before retiring. In his retirement, Edwin loved spending time with Francine and their sons, all their grandchildren and eventually great-grandchildren at their lake house. He loved the time they shared with their family and their church. His hard work continued in retirement, serving the Lord in his church and community, building and working on homes, working on anything mechanical, and generally tinkering with anything that he could find.
