    I met Ed at SFA in Sept of 1963 and fell in love. We were married on Feb 15, 1964 and had one son, Jason Edward Middlebrook. We divorced almost 8 years later. Ed’s biggest passion was golf. He aspired to be a professional golfer in his younger years and was probably happiest when on the greens chasing that little white ball. He loved his high school buddies deeply and stayed in contact with them throughout all the years…the Mad Mad World bunch. A heart attack and a stroke took it’s toll on Ed. He never adjusted to the stroke very well and hated how it left him. Ed had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. I hope that he is playing on the back 9 in heaven and enjoying every hole. In my mind I will always see you as you were at age 26. Young, healthy and very good looking.

    Linda, So sorry to hear about Edward. I was fortunate enough to visit with he and Terry a couple years ago in Dallas at a mall where they often walked and had coffee. I have very fond memories of Edward through our love of golf, HS, playing Little League ball together and playing on the NHS golf team. Later in life I guess we ended up in different parts of the state and never saw each other much. I remember when you guys dated and were married. Sorry for the loss. Edward was classic and will be fondly remembered.

    Edward was my friend for more than 68 years.He and I were part of Mrs Gertrude Powers 1st grade class at Central Elementry in Nacogdoches, Texas. The friendship, that began that day,in that converted storeroom just across from the Old Nacogdoches University building does not end now for all his many friends, It just gets lonelier for all of us.

    Ed and I were in NHS together…we were sweethearts then….I found Ed several years ago. I’m so sad to hear of this. I truly think he found that Jesus was his Savior…we talked about this many times. I know we’ll see each other in Heaven. He was a sweet guy, I’ll never forget him.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
