Edgar Miles Woods, 77, formerly of Texarkana, Texas, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on September 6, 2024 in Rockwall, Texas. Born July 1, 1947 to Francis Burnett Woods and Otis Woods in Longview, Texas, Edgar lived a life rich with love, dedication, and service to his family and community.

Edgar was a proud graduate of Texas A&M University, where he earned his degree in industrial safety engineering. His professional career was marked by his expertise and passion for his field, but it was his personal life where he truly shone.

Edgar is survived by his 3 devoted children: Chad Woods and his wife, Nancy, of Gordonville, TX, Heather Weaver and her husband, Nick, of Fate, TX, and Matthew Woods of Denver, CO, as well as his 6 cherished grandchildren, Tyler, Jacob, Mason, Kevie, Paityn, and Savannah. His family remembers him as a loving and involved father who coached his sons' Little League teams, volunteered with Cub Scouts, and made countless memories attending father-daughter dances with his daughter.

Edgar had a deep passion for researching genealogy, a hobby that connected him with his family's history and traditions. He also found joy in spending quality time with his children and grandchildren, creating lasting bonds and treasured moments.
