Those talents paid off when he met the love of his life, Nychol Edwards, while working on a rental property in 2009.

Earvin was also a skilled Chess player but also enjoyed playing Pictionary, Mexican Train Dominos, and Spoons. He had an awesome sense of humor and was always the center of attention. He had a competitive nature and an adventurous spirit. Whether it was coaching for Boles little league football team or riding go carts with friends and family, Earvin made it a competition. His hobbies included fishing, rock climbing, karaoke, and diamond painting.

He is greatly loved and will be dearly missed by his devoted wife, Nychol Edwards of Quinlan; son, Payton Edwards of Quinlan; daughter, Jaydin Edwards of Quinlan; and several aunts and cousins.
