On Thursday, May 31, 1990 in Stuart, Florida, Emiliano Darryle Agosto, Jr. made his grand entrance into the world. He was born to proud parents, Emiliano Agosto Quintero and Kimberly Agosto.
Being premature and weighing just a little over 2lbs, Emiliano proved a force to be reckoned with as he fought to survive. At 3 weeks old, Eddie, as he was affectionately known, was released from the hospital. He journeyed from Stuart, Florida to Indiantown, Florida where he was reared and raised. Eddie was always a beloved citizen of Booker Park in Indiantown. Everyone knew Eddie and his big, bright, personality made him well loved. He was always so jovial and enjoyed playing pranks.
From a very young age, Eddie was steered into a Christ consciousness and taught to have a relationship with God. He was baptized at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Indiantown, Florida, under the late Reverend Tommy Bess and served there under the close tutelage of the late Pastor Robert Willis. Over the years, he was closely affiliated with many other Ministries/Churches; Iglesia Christiana Nueva Vida being one of them, where he served under his Paternal Uncle, Pastor Evaristo Agosto, and his friend/spiritual guide, Pastor Abel Rosario. Eddie gained acclaim as a Psalmist because he loved to sing songs to the glory of GOD.
Eddie matriculated through the Martin County Public School System. When he was in his pre-teens, he went to live with his father for awhile and attended school in Palm Beach County. Eddie, is a high school graduate of Saint James Academy in St. Lucie County, Florida.
During his teenage years, he developed a deep passion for the Funeral Industry, after being introduced to Mama Thorne by the late Pastor Robert Willis. For the past 15 years, he has served at Thorne’s Mortuary, Inc., as a leading Male Funeral Tech. Eddie's passion was such that he enrolled as a freshmen student, into Miami-Dade College, where he was pursuing a degree in Mortuary Science, and obtaining credentials to be a Licensed Funeral Director.
Eddie was active in the lives of many. He enjoyed serving and found a way to do so by being a faithful member of Walter Johnson Jr. Masonic Lodge #765 PHA FLORIDA.
