He attended Grand Prairie High School and was a member of the school soccer team. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1992 and honorably served his country until 1994. Earvin was a machine operator for Karat and worked in construction. Ervin had a natural talent for tile setting, woodworking, and remodeling. Those talents paid off when he met the love of his life, Nychol Edwards, while working on a rental property in 2009.
Earvin was also a skilled Chess player but also enjoyed playing Pictionary, Mexican Train Dominos, and Spoons. He had an awesome sense of humor and was always the center of attention. He had a competitive nature and an adventurous spirit. Whether it was coaching for Boles little league football team or riding go-carts with friends and family, Earvin made it a competition. His hobbies included fishing, rock climbing, karaoke, and diamond painting.
He is greatly loved and will be dearly missed by his devoted wife, Nychol Edwards of Quinlan; son, Payton Edwards of Quinlan; daughter, Jaydin Edwards of Quinlan; and several aunts and cousins.
