Edwin Jordan Caudill Jr., “Big Ed”

Big Ed was born on Groundhog’s Day, February 2, 1950, in Winchester, Virginia, to the late Edwin Sr. and Sylvia Caudill.

He is survived by his loving and faithful wife of 51 years, Isabel Brock Caudill, sharing, caring, working hard and laughing together, based on love.  He graduated from Warren County High School in 1970 and attended Lord Fairfax Community College automotive education.  Ed’s passion was providing for his family and enjoying his fine workings in carpentry and auto repair.  He was always wanting to fix things and literally keeping the “home fires burning.”  He enjoyed working with chainsaws, collecting wood, hunting, and fishing.  He always had a story to tell and loved to tell jokes and watch movies, and he had a sweet tooth.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his two sons, Edwin Caudill III and Benjamin Forest Caudill; sister, Phyliss Gailey of Atlanta, Georgia; brother-in-law, Mark Brock of Michigan; sister-in-law, Frances Brock of Berryville, Virginia, and many extended family members.

The family will commemorate his life in private.  Instead of flowers, sending a sympathy card or sharing thoughts and love with the family would be appreciated.  Big Ed will be greatly missed.
