William Edward “Eddie” Woodward Travelers Rest, South Carolina William Edward “Eddie” Woodward, age 54, loving husband of 21 years to Kimberly Dawn Jones Woodward, passed away on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Upstate Community Hospice House in Landrum. Born on April 27, 1971, in Orangeburg County, South Carolina, Eddie was the cherished son of William David Woodward and the late Connie Bates McCollum. A proud United States Marine Corps veteran, Eddie carried with him a steadfast sense of duty and strength throughout his life. He was an avid outdoorsman who found joy and peace in hunting, fishing, and spending time in nature. Eddie also had a deep love for sports, especially football, baseball, and golf, and could often be found cheering on his favorite teams, the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Pittsburgh Steelers. He cherished every moment spent with his family, always making time to be present for the people he loved most. His dedication to his children was unwavering—whether coaching their sports teams or cheering them on in every activity, he was their constant source of support and pride. A true perfectionist in all that he did, he took great care in his business, his yard, his vehicle, and even the way he dressed. While his attention to detail could sometimes test one’s patience, it was also one of the most endearing qualities that made him uniquely himself. Above all, he was a man of his word. Dependable to his core, he was the kind of person you could always call in a moment of need, knowing without question that he would show up. Survivors include his wife, Kimberly Jones Woodward of the home; daughter, Adyson Rhea Woodward of the home; son, William Layten Woodward of the home; father, William David Woodward (Robin) of Orangeburg, SC; siblings, Travis Woodward (Shea) of Hanahan, SC, Troy Woodward (Jenny) of St. Matthews, SC, Damon Bell (Crystal) of St. Matthews, SC, Michael Bell (Susan) of Charleston, SC, and Steven Bell (Lisa) of Charlotte, NC; special aunts, Allison Berry (Barry), and Kay Jackson (Ted); in-laws, Vicki Clary Charlotte, and Bobby Jones (Lynn); and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Eddie also leaves behind his beloved dogs, Kingston and Cozmo, who brought him constant companionship and joy. Mr. Woodward was predeceased by his mother, Connie Bates McCollum. The family will hold a memorial service, with details to be announced at a later date. The family wishes to offer their heartfelt thanks to Upstate Community Hospice House for the kindness, support, and attentive care given to Eddie when he needed it most.
