The tragic death of 'Eddie Moe'
“He was just a jovial, perfect person,” S.C. State Band Director Eddie Ellis said. “He brought so much joy to parades, the atmosphere of football and basketball games. No matter how your day was going, when you saw him dancing, it just brought you joy.”
Day after fatal accident, lots of memories of Eddie Moe
“He was on his job, smiling and making people happy, talked about his mom, because he loved talking about her, but something was different,” Mack said. “The next thing we knew, he was gone. It won’t be the same in Orangeburg without him.”

Eddie mo we love you man rest in peace you will be missed
What a beautiful life taken
What a beautiful life taken from us. He was loved not only by his community but anyone that had a heart with love. I will miss my phone calls, the dances that made me feel better, pictures before the games and the performances that only you can give! My heart ache with sadness. You should be remembered by your community, the Marching 101 as the greatest Public Relationist ever and the Dancing machine. My family and I will Never forget you!! The life of this Entertainer is and always has been "Cinema" (movie) worthy that all the world can see the passion of a dedicated man of superior servitude! My prayers are with your mother and family!
There are few times in a mans
There are few times in a mans life that God will place in his path a person of joy to help him through difficult times. Eddie Moe was that man for me while attending South Carolina State University. May God comfort your soul and the peace of God your family as well.
