Rev. Edward Clarence 'Eddie' Scroggins 
(22 Apr 1917 - 30 Jan 2010) [9165]

Rev. Edward Clarence 'Eddie' Scroggins [9165]

Reverend Eddie Scroggins April 22, 1917 - January 30, 2010 Rev. Eddie Scroggins was taken to his eternal rest Saturday, January 30 at his home in Grand Junction at the age of 92. Edward Clarence Scroggins was born on April 22, 1917 in Eldorado, OK to A.A. (Bud) [9155] and Pearl [9164] Scroggins. He was raised in Oklahoma with his brothers, Earl [9166] (deceased), Ray [9167], and Wayne [9168]. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1941 and was aboard the USS Astoria stationed at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In 1942, he was given a medical discharge from the service and he returned to Oklahoma. He worked in Lawton, OK as a fireman, attended Cameron College, and met his future bride and lifelong companion, Ruth June Green [8865]. Eddie and June celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on January 19, 2010. Brother Eddie, as he was known to his extended church family, received his call to the ministry in Lawton and he and June began their service to the Lord that continued for the remainder of his life. Eddie served churches in Oklahoma, began a family, and graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University. In 1951, the Scroggins family moved to Colorado to serve at the Calvary Baptist Church at Cortez. In 1955, the family moved to Grand Junction, where Eddie helped begin and build Trinity Baptist Church on Orchard Mesa. After serving at Trinity for many years, Eddie felt called to help rebuild church work in Delta, Paonia, DeBeque, and in Grand Junction. He retired from the pulpit after bringing the message at his 90th birthday celebration at Emmanuel Baptist Church, where he remained a member. Eddie had a passion for serving the Lord both at church and in the community. He was a substitute teacher in local schools for many years, and later, he worked as a juvenile counselor at the Mesa County Sheriff's office. He was an avid supporter of school sports teams and was a fixture at JUCO. He presided over hundreds of weddings and funerals crossing generations of families, including his own children and grandchildren. Eddie's ardent Christian witness and his devotion to God, love of people, and goodness of heart have left a lasting impact on the lives he touched. II Timothy 4:7-8 Eddie and June had seven children, Joy Walker [8867] (Leroy) [8883] , Delta, Sterling [8868] (Paula) [18640], Washington, D.C.; Stephen [8869] (Ronda) [13012], Palisade; John Stanley [?] (deceased); Gloria Trujillo [8870] (Mike) [8870], Espa–ola, NM; Dwayne [8871] (deceased), and Dennis [8872] (Chary) [?], Jakarta, Indonesia; as well as 16 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
