Eddie Curtis Pollock Sr.

Eddie Curtis Pollock Sr. was born on November 15, 1949, in Zellwood, Florida, to his late parents, Jessie Marion Pollock and Roberta Leeks Pollock. He was the youngest of eight children. He graduated from Phyllis Wheatley High School in 1968 and went on to work as an entrepreneur in the scrap metal industry, eventually retiring from this profession. Eddie's father was a contractor for various citrus companies in Florida. During the summer months, Eddie would accompany him to the northern states of North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Here, he met Frances Jones, who would become his wife and the mother of his children. Working alongside his father allowed Eddie to mature early and become a hardworking, responsible man who took pride in his ability to provide for his family. Eddie was a man of great character. He was devoted to his family, always taking responsibility for their wellbeing. He had a heart of gold and was passionate about helping others in need. Despite his busy schedule, Eddie always found time for his hobbies, which included bowling, playing cards, dominos, cooking, fishing, and drag racing in his car, "PEEWEE," which earned him the nickname "FAST EDDIE." He was friendly and had a talent for making lifelong connections; his greatest connection, however, came when he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior two years ago. On Sunday, April 21, 2024, Eddie answered his Master's call. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jessie Marion Pollock and Roberta Leeks Pollock, and his siblings: Labon Pollock, Sr., Walter Ray Pollock, Sr., James Lee Pollock, and Miles Lee Pollock. Eddie leaves to cherish his memories his sons, Eddie Pollock Jr. (Dominique) of Umatilla, FL, and Daniel Brown Jr. (Fatima) of Eustis, FL, and his Daughter, Denisha Roberta Pollock of Zellwood, FL; Grandchildren: Armani Gray, Evan Pollock, Omar Morrison, Reginald Taylor, Tony Newsome, Dominique Bostic, Danishaa Wilson; Siblings: Elder Elcee Pollock (Josephine) of Zellwood, FL, Lodine P. Jenkins of Jacksonville, FL, and Mary A. Pollock of Chicago, IL; Brother-in-heart: Elder Early Wilson (Delania) of Mount Dora, FL; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
