Condolence: Ebbie was my brother's (Byron Spain) friend. My best Ebbie memory was when he caught a snake and was trying to keep it in his bedroom without his mother knowing. It got loose in the house and he was afraid to tell her because he knew he would catch it. I don't know if the snake was ever found.

Condolence: Uncle Ebbie was truly a special man. We will always remember his vivacious spirit and spunk. Most of all, I will remember he was a man who was actively present in all our lives. He was there front and center, in the moment. He made you feel special, important, and that you were loved. He extended his love to my husband and children and formed a unique bond with my son. He was truly present in their lives and made an effort to attend my children's school events and sporting events.

Condolence: Uncle Ebbie was a wonderful person to be able to know and love. Our family will miss him greatly, and the annual Christmas gatherings will never be the same without him. He was such a huge presence in our lives and we are all better for having known him.

Condolence: Uncle Ebbie, the world is a better place because of you. Thank you for being such amazing influence in my life. I love and miss you so much.

Condolence: I will always remebmer the joy and laughter Uncle Ebbie brought to our family.
He will be greatly missed.

Condolence: I remember Uncle Ebbie as energetic, fun, loud, and loving. I loved it when he came to watch me play basketball and greatly appreciated how he always supported me in everything I did. He even got me into Westlake's summer basketball camp one year and let me stay with him and Aunt Mary Sue. That was the first time I was ever on a plane and it was an awesome experience!

Condolence: Ebbie was my big brother and I was so proud to be his sister. I remember our wonderful holidays and vacations growing up. I remember his first car, him being a football super star, and especially I remember when I was eleven years old he brought this beautiful girl named Mary Sue home to meet us. He loved life. He was there for us. Thank you, Ebbie, for everything!

Condolence: Mary Sue,

Condolence: Dad-
