My dad woke up Sunday, got my brother's picture and just stared at it all morning...He kept saying, 'He's coming home, he's coming.'
— Latonya Edwards, sister in San Francisco Chronicle
Menyweather was in the California National Guard when he met his wife, who was serving in the Army. He joined too so they could be together in Germany, according the Chicago Tribune. His sister said their father had a premonition the day he was killed.

My prayers and thoughts are with the families who've lost loved ones. As a Jordan High School (L.A.) graduate, I feel the loss of Eddie and pray that we will bring our troops home soon.
May he rest in peace and may peace be the goal for this nation.
Eddie was a good guy. He was my younger brother's friend when we were groing up in the Jordan Downs Housing Projects together. He was always happy, I never saw Eddie get mad at a soul. May he rest in peace.
