He was born March 22, 1951, in Hardinsburg, Kentucky to the late John Edwin Hendrick, Sr. and Virginia Dandy Hendrick. Ed was a United States Marine and served in Vietnam.

He was a member of the Crossett First Baptist Church men's Sunday Class. Ed enjoyed training his labrador retriever, Kate, and participated in field trials in Kentucky.

The family wants to thank all who helped provide assistance with Ed's care, and transportation to and from his treatment centers. Arkansas Hospice was a great comfort and a big thanks to Dermott Nursing Home for the great care for Ed. It was a rewarding experience to have such all-around care.
