Edwin A McCollough

Edwin McCollough, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather (affectionately known as Pawpaw), departed this life to enter his eternal heavenly home on November 8, 2024, in Nacogdoches, Texas.

Born on April 23, 1944, in Pintkin, Louisiana, he was the cherished son of Erby and Eunice McCollough.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three brothers: Kirby McCollough, Oscar McCollough, and A.G. McCollough.

Edwin is survived by his devoted wife, Cynthia McCollough; five loving children:

- Eddie McCollough and his wife Jill

- Bridgett Theiman and her husband Mark

- Christie Kirkland and her husband Doug

- Barry Pointer and his wife Lynn

- Jeff Pointer

He is also survived by his brother, Byron McCollough, and his wife, Sharon, along with ten grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A homecoming service will be held at Heritage Baptist Church, 205 Private Rd 3902D Mt. Enterprise Tx., followed by burial at Woodlawn Heights Cemetery. Visitation will commence at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, with the funeral service following at 2:00 p.m.

Brother McCollough dedicated over 30 years as a delivery driver and supervisor with Mrs. Baird’s Bakery before retiring. He was a dear friend to many and a living testament to his faith as a follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who had the pleasure of speaking with Bro Ed could easily see his deep love for His Savior, whether through his heartfelt prayers, his attentive listening to gospel messages and songs, or the expectation he carried for the Lord’s imminent return.

His profound love for his Heritage Baptist Church family shone brightly throughout his forty-three years as a faithful and active member. He will be remembered for his unwavering faith and the genuine joy he brought to all who knew him.

While he will be deeply missed by friends and family alike, we take comfort in the knowledge that his faith has turned to sight. Brother Ed is now home, resting in the loving arms of his Savior, Lord, and Friend, reveling in the glories of heaven he so eagerly anticipated.
