Eddy Boyette

Eddy Lucas Boyette, 76 of Louisburg, NC passed away June 22 at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, NC with his wife and son by his side.  He was born in Wilson County, NC July 24, 1946, to the late Malvern Lee and Onnie Lucas Boyette.

Eddy retired from Franklin County Schools after 52 years in education as a teacher, coach, and mentor.  He enjoyed spending time with his family and being part of the Louisburg United Methodist Church community as a member of the choir.  He had a love for fishing, basketball, and NASCAR and will be fondly remembered for impacting the lives of many young people in Franklin County.  His signature "blue" towel, piercing whistle, sideline pacing, and thunderous foot stomping were all parts of his competitive coaching style.
