He went on to enlist in the US Army where he was made a twenty-one year career in maintenance. After returning home, Eddie worked as a pilot car driver, and at Jay’s Muffler, Auto Zone, Bumper Works, and Hyster. In his early years Eddie enjoyed Nascar and dirt track racing- both racing himself and watching it. And he could often be found restoring antique cars-most recently his 1968 Terrino.

He leaves behind his wife Jackie of fifty-nine years; his son Jimmy Allen; three grandchildren: Austin and Nolan Allen and Rancey Rouse; a sister Judy Walls; four nieces and nephews: James Garretson, Christina Moody, Shawn Garretson, and Tralisa Ervin, several great nieces and nephews and many friends.
