Mr. James Edward "Ed" Hendrix

August 18, 1938 - June 9, 2022

CLAXTON/SAVANNAH: James Edward "Ed" Hendrix, 83, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at Serenity Place in Dublin, Georgia. He was born in Claxton, Georgia to Hubert and Thelma Hendrix on August 18, 1938. He was a member of Woodlawn Baptist Church. Edward was an avid golfer and in his high school years was an enthusiastic baseball player. He got a full scholarship offer from Georgia College but chose to go to work in the wholesale business at Davis Supply in Savannah, Georgia. His biggest accomplishment is when he went to work for Baker Brothers, there he had a long career as a salesman for 46 years. Anyone in the HVAC field would say Edward was one of the best salesman in the state of Georgia. He received many “Salesman of the year” awards throughout his career, he was honored in his retirement with the renaming of the top salesman award to the “Ed Hendrix Salesman of the year” award. Edward was a family man, whom he loved unconditionally. He never met a stranger and always had time to tell a story or tell one of his many jokes. He is preceded in death by his wife of 56 years, Ona Merle Hendrix; son, Brian Hendrix, brother, Lamar Hendrix SURVIVORS: sons, Barry (Tina) and Randy (Debbie) Hendrix; grandsons, Blake, Jason and Jamie Hendrix; nieces, Donna (Derwood) Tootle, Connie Robertson, Cheryl (Al) Hodge and Toni (John) Kraft; sister in-law Melba Jo Hendrix; brother in-law, Bobby Riner; several great- nieces and one great nephew.
