Eddie was a force of nature. He had a strong personality mixed with a good sense of humor.
He was born August 2, 1929 and grew up in the Ukiah Valley. He developed his strong work ethic from helping his parents in the vineyard at an early age. He was a 3rd generation grape farmer.
He married his sweetheart Donna Wildberger on July 9, 1950. Shortly afterwards joined the Army where he served in Korea. Donna and Ed were blessed with three daughters, eleven grandsons and 13 great grandchildren. He loved his large, boisterous family fiercely and helped us all over the years financially and also with great advice (even at times when you didn’t ask!).
He loved hunting, fishing, and spending time in the great outdoors. His passion for car racing led him to build and sponsor racecars at the Ukiah Speedway. He was an avid Nascar fan and would have the races on TV every week, wherever he was – like it or not!
He spent many summers fishing at Diamond Lake, OR taking his kids and grandkids with him. He drove his motorhome until his mid eighties every year to make this trip.
Eddie is survived by his wife Donna, daughters Debi Pallini, Michelle Young, Tia (Troy) Satterwhite, grandsons Carter Lane Grissom, Ryan Young (Mitzi), Joel Young (Jamie), Casey Thompson, Colton Thompson (Jenna), Kyle Thompson (Hunter), Dustin Satterwhite (Zoe), Brady Satterwhite (Sami), Nick Satterwhite, Blake Satterwhite, great grandchildren London, Lea and Alex Grissom, Gavyn, Drake and Mckaylee Young, Willow and Ash Young, Banks and Sunny Thompson, Daniel, Lucas and Lexi Satterwhite. He was preceded in death by his parents Bruno and Aimee Pallini and by his grandson Matthew Young.
Per his request the family will gather to spread his ashes at his beloved hunting cabin on Memorial Day.
We love you Dad and thank you for your Love, time and passion that you shared with us – We will miss you every day.
