Edward Perk Estes, age 82, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, passed away on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at St. Thomas West Hospital.

A native of Nashville, Eddie was the son of the late James and Virginia Bledsoe Estes. He was also preceded in death by his infant brother, Billy.

Eddie is survived by his devoted wife of sixty years, Patricia Estes; daughters, Sheryl Lynn Young of Christiana, and Kimberly Braswell and husband Blair of Murfreesboro; grandchildren, Amber Young, Anthony Charles Young II and wife Amber, Tiffany Bradley and husband Andrew, and Brook Lyn Breece; great-grandchildren, Anyiah, Chloé, Maleah, Cierra, Cali, and Anthony III; along with many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.
