Eddie Ward had a severe car accident on December 22, 2025, and will be hospitalized for an undetermined amount of time in Cleveland.
He requires surgery, and the Ward family humbly requests prayers for his healing and strength for their family as they walk through this together.
Eddie’s life revolves around his family and sharing his passions with his children.
He was on the football field for years, coaching his son the rules of the game and lessons in teamwork and perseverance. Similarly, he was present in the stands, cheering his daughter on with equal pride when she took up cheerleading.
Beyond the weekend games, Eddie is an avid outdoorsman. He finds peace and purpose in hunting, a tradition he now shares with his son.
Eddie & Diana are some of the most kind and giving families, and your support will mean so much 💙
