On February 6th, at the age of 43, Eddie B. Odney lost his courageous battle against cancer, with Kinga, his wife and best friend, holding his hand. Born in Haiti, Eddie came to America as a toddler. He attended Boston public schools and graduated from UMASS with a degree in Criminal Justice. He served in the Boston Police Department for nine years. In 2012, he met the love of his life, Kinga Lulis.  They married and welcomed their son Jordan in 2019. After leaving the police force, Eddie pursued his dream of opening a restaurant.  He worked tirelessly to design, renovate and create the concept for Acadia Seafood and Bar in Taunton. Eddie had a true flair for Cajan-style dishes, but his proudest accomplishment was his family. Being a father came naturally to Eddie. Reading to Jordan was his favorite thing to do; both father and son knew Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by heart. For most of Jordan's life, Eddie battled Lymphoma, spending months in and out of the hospital. Kinga and Jordan were always there by his side; they never missed a day. Every morning, Kinga would pack Jordan's lunch and toys, and they would head to the hospital to be with Eddie. While this was certainly not a traditional childhood for Jordan, it filled Eddie's final months with so much love. As Eddie fought this horrible disease with all his might, he fought just as heroically to ensure that his beloved family would be taken care of. Listening to Kinga manage a laugh while telling a nurse a story about Jordan, Eddie took his final breath. The family would like to thank the staff at Brigham and Women's and Dana-Farber, with special thanks to Dr. Armand for his compassion. Eddie also leaves behind his mother Immacula, sister Marie, and brothers Steve and James. A private Memorial Service will be held in his memory.
