Edward "Eddie" Tull

Edward “Eddie” Tull, 87, of Chincoteague Island, VA, passed away peacefully at his home on January 14th, 2025, surrounded by his family.

He was born on September 23rd, 1937, in Crisfield, MD, to the late Robert Tull, Sr. and Rachel Tull (Lunn).

Eddie was a graduate of Chincoteague High School, where he was a stellar athlete and was encouraged by his family to go to college to continue his athletic career, but he decided instead to go into a career in business and real estate development.  One such venture saw him owning and operating Inlet View Campground and Bunker Hill for a term of over 50 years. 

Another aspect of his life that kept him busy was his membership at Island Baptist Church. 

Two things that Eddie also loved and supported were animals and Donald Trump.  He never wanted to see an animal go hungry, and he wanted Donald Trump back in the White House, which came to fruition for him this past November.

Eddie is survived by his loving spouse of 54 years, Janet Louise Tull; brother, Robert Tull Jr; Sister, Gloria Tull; Daughters, Vicky Tull and Janet Mason (Matt Sr), daughter in law  Nancy Adams; Grandchildren, Terrie Lynn Rhodes (Chris Bunting), Sharon Rhodes Wood (Chris Wood), Roger Adams (Britney Adams), and Thomas Adams (Michelle Adams), Great grandchildren; Christopher Fox, Brenna Arceneaux (Kyle), Savannah Adams, Austin Adams, Wilson Wood, Zachary Wood, Waylen Adams, Emma Adams, Billy McGee (Bogi), Brandon McGee, and Noah McGee (Becca); Skyler Bunting and Trevor Bunting, and Anthony Wood; a great-great-granddaughter, Marlyn James Arceneaux, Elizabeth Michelle McGee; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister-in-law Sandra (Tuck) Tull, son James “Jimmy” Adams Jr, and niece Amy (Tull) Mullane.

Funeral services will be held at 2 pm on Monday, January 20, 2025, at the Union Baptist Church on Chincoteague Island, VA., with Rev. Eley officiating.

Visitation will be held one hour prior.

Burial will take place in the Mechanics Cemetery on Chincoteague Island, VA.
