Orca

Tribute to Eddie Sawyer
8/20/1968 - 10/28/2024
Friends and family here on Facebook I wanted to share my Son's ( Eddie Sawyer, aka-BlackCat Evelyn, aka Orca) end of life story. I know many of you have followed his story through my post. He fought hard, captain of his sail boat (Orca) , learned to be an airplane pilot, earned his avionics degree with a 4.0, rode motorcycle, danced, loved sushi. And most of all loved his precious daughter Madison Sawyer to the moon and back which he raised himself as a single father. Eddie also has a sister Donna Drennen who was a big part of his growing up. Eddie loved his sister and would call her just out of the blue to say hello and how much he loved her too.

He loved everyone that touched his life and never hated anyone!

Lastly, he became my best friend through trying time these past 2 years. We laughed, loved, cried and fought. But we always hugged and said I love you. He always said to me a hundre time "mom thank you for taking care of me"

His last words to me as I held his hand "I love you momma and I'm sorry".
But it wasn't sorry for anything he did ....It was sorry he had to go
I lost my best friend and son

Hi everyone some news I need to share. since my health has suffered I have sold Orca to a wonderful man "Max" in Coastal, North Carolina. Happy Thanksgiving to all. thank you to all the people who have crewed on Orca over the years. hopefully I'll see some of you around the club. I would like to crew myself as I recover. love....
