Joey Edwards
He was a tough guy with a soft center.
During his days at Coupeville High School, Joey Edwards took hits with the best of them, whether it was allowing himself to be drilled with a fastball to get a crucial runner on base or cracking a runner coming across the field on the gridiron.
Off the field, the avid biker and car buff could still be seen as a tough guy. But one with a huge smile seen frequently gracing his face.
He came across as a genuinely nice guy, someone who fit in with his teammates and was well liked.
A transfer from South Whidbey midway through his high school days, Edwards became a valued part of Wolf Nation, graduating from the school this past year.
Now he’s off in the Army, serving his country and making his family proud of the young man he has become.
Today he’s far from Whidbey (the military doesn’t give you an off day for your birthday), but those of us back here on The Rock send him our best wishes on his big day.
Keep on keepin’ on, Mr. Edwards.
