Eddie “Sweet Thang” Brown died on Thursday.  Eddie was a Great American, good friend and great fellow.  He was the example of what a public servant should be – humble, frugal, hard working, and ever careful of overreach.  He was an investigator at the South Carolina Secretary of State’s office and a great witness on the stand.  He received the Palmetto Patriot Award from the South Carolina Lt. Governor and Secretary of state and was beloved by all.  He was a great entertainer and very funny.  He was as much of a gentlemen as you will ever meet.  A dedicated Clemson fan and doting dad, he will be missed.  You can read about his admirable life here.
