Eddie Fant, 56, of Albertville died Tuesday February 7, 2023 at his home.
He was the son of Alfred and Jean Fant. He grew up in the Guntersville/Albertville area. He graduated from Albertville High School in 1985 and attended Snead State where he studied business and took a variety of agriculture related classes.
In March of 1993 he married Donna Davis of Arab. They had two children Trey and Anna.
He worked most of his adult life in his father’s family business. After his father passed away, he left the family business and became a sales representative. He was a territory manager for Team J Sales where his main product was MUCK boots. He sold Muck for about four years.
At the time of his passing, he was a sales representative/territory manager for Weyco Group selling Bogs footwear.
He loved spending time outdoors. Whether on the tractor or working in the shop you would likely find him with one of the family dogs. He enjoyed yard work, wood work, “tinkering” with watches and spending time with family.
He was a member of Creek Path Baptist Church where he served as a deacon. He loved his family and his church family. He had a servant’s heart and loved people. Over the past few days as friends have come by to share stories, we are reminded how much he loved and was loved.
Visitation and funeral will be held on Saturday February 11th at Creek Path Baptist Church in Guntersville. Visitation will be from 12:00-1:30 followed by the funeral service. Pastor Eric Reaves (Eddie’s lifelong friend) and Pastor Rick Douglas (his pastor for the past 15 years) will officiate.
