IN HONOR OF ED CHILDRESS
Talley Edward “Ed” Childress, III, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1945. An avid Clemson fan, his love for the Tigers was only superseded by his love for the Lord and his family.
A statesman, philanthropist, and faithful servant, Ed was a pillar in the community and worked diligently to further the kingdom of God and the mission of veteran care, service and support that is offered through HMR Veterans Services. Since his death in 2008, Ed’s passionate, giving and generous spirit lives on through the establishment and operations of the Ed Childress Memorial Employee Assistance Fund.
