Forever taken by the almighty Sky, may the legacy of Kyogee James Edwards live on forever like the immortal Sea. With a spirit so wild and true, he celebrated life with his family and his beer, and through his passions, his dog peanut, fishing, and art, he left his unforgettable mark. As a man of nature, he planted his seeds in his thriving gardens and in our hearts, all the way from the Florida beaches to the Louisiana bayous. In the transcendent words of Robert Frost, “nothing gold can stay,” but may we always remember him through his allusive sculptures and his favorite songs, until our grand reunion, with him, above the sublime Sky.
