James Phillip Edge II, of Owensboro, passed away at home on Friday, August 28, 2020, while under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky, at the age of 59. He was born on July 24, 1961, in Owensboro, to Brenda Boone Edge and the late James Phillip Edge, Sr. Jimmy was a graduate of Daviess County High School and an active member of Immaculate Catholic Church. He was retired from Sara Lee Bakery, previously owned Jimmie’s Liquor Store and Jim Edge Auto Sales. Outside of work, Jimmy was passionate about buying and selling cars and was an avid sports fan. He spent countless hours coaching his two beloved sons throughout their years, along with many other teammates in baseball. For those who knew Jimmy, he was always up for a friendly bet. Risk-taking was a part of his whole life and energetic personality. He was a driven, self-made man who always completed a task before it was ever written down. No individual was ever considered a stranger to Jimmy; the impression each person left on him lasted a lifetime. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph Hillary (Dorothy) Boone and James Daniel (Ora Jean) Edge.
Survivors include his wife of 31 years, Lisa Hayden Edge; two sons, Tyler (Kiley) Edge and Tanner (Kayleigh) Edge; a granddaughter, Cecilia Grace Edge; a grandson due in November; and his mother, Brenda Boone Edge.
