Edward “Eddie” Monoe Dowdy, age 54, of Logan, WV, passed away on Friday, March 12, 2021 in the care of Cabell Huntington Hospital Burn Unit in Huntington, WV, after a short illness. He was born on August 17, 1966 in Holden, WV, to the late Miles Dowdy and Geraldine Dickens. At the age of seven months, Eddie came to live with his grandparents, the late William and Genieve Blevins. At the age of five, he was adopted by them and was raised as their son at Monaville. Eddie was a carpenter by trade and worked many years in the housing industry in and around Logan and Georgia. He was an avid fan of motorcycles and got his first motorbike when he was 16 years old. He was also a great mechanic, always working and fixing friends’ and neighbors’ vehicles, lawnmowers, and tools. He especially enjoyed gathering with his friends and family to play his guitar and harmonica. In addition to his parents, Eddie was preceded in death by his brothers, Miles (biological father), Clarence, Charles Dowdy and William Blevins Jr; and sisters Mary Carter, Nancy Burgess, and Betsy Carol Dickens. He is survived by his brothers Virgil (Joyce) Dowdy of Fayetteville, NC, James Blevins of Huntington, WV, Ray Dowdy of Cleveland, NC, William Dowdy of Logan, WV, Timothy Blevins of Huntington, WV, and Joe Dowdy of Hickory, NC; and sisters Jackie (John) Ditz of Cedar Park, TX, Cherry Blevins of Monaville, Priscilla Frye of Peach Creek, Therasa Brown of Whites Addition, and Angel (Buck) Issacs of Chapmanville, WV. In addition, Eddie is also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Especially his friends Buck, Larry, Ronnie, and his faithful companion Spider (his sister’s dog). Eddie is also survived by his biological mother Geraldine Dickens of Hickory, NC. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the Cabell Burn Unit and Cabell ICU for their compassion and care.
