Obituary of Tony Andrew Edwards

Tony Andrew Edwards, 65, of Charlotte, NC left this earth to be with his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, August 4, 2021. Born Thursday, March 29, 1956, in Hahn, Germany, he was the son of the late Dorothy Lee Harris Edwards and stepson of the late Robert Nelson Edwards. Shortly after his birth, his mother returned to live in Charlotte, NC where he became a true Charlottean. Tony was a strong and resilient person with an infectious personality who never met a stranger. In his younger years, he enjoyed running, and completed two marathons, and also liked traveling, hiking, biking and spending time outdoors with his wife. Tony was a devout Christian and a true family man. He worked for the Robert E. Mason Company for 37 years, and upon retirement, spent time with his wife, daughter, and grandson, all of whom he adored. He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 30 years, Lavetta, daughter Evangelia, grandson Adaliah, sister Charlene Hinson and her husband Alex, brother Jonathan Edwards and his fiancé Evey Neville, and several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by mother-in-law Jewel Warrick, sisters-in-law Lisa Warrick, Lila Styles and her husband Greg, Linda Tipton, and brother-in-law James Warrick, and many more loving family and friends. In addition to his parents, Tony was predeceased by his sister Debbie Blue and brother Thomas Edwards. The family will receive friends at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 11, with a funeral ceremony to be held at 2:00 p.m. at Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service with Pastor John Kasay officiating. Tony will be laid to rest at Evergreen City Cemetery, where his mother is also buried.
