This afternoon were given the honor to es**rt Mr. Eddie Antonio Crossty on his Ride to Eternity to his final resting place in the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery. He was surrounded by family and friends. Special thanks to Walker Funeral Homes and Lincoln Heights Missionary Baptist Church for a wonderful service.

Eddie Antonio Crossty, affectionately known as "Bay Bay," was born on May 16, 1976, to Mary and Julius Crossty, which his father preceded him in death. He was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Eddie attended Lincoln Heights Elementary School and later graduated from Princeton High School. Following high school, he developed skills in many trades, including landscaping, renovation, and forklift operation. Eddie also founded and operated several successful businesses, including E.C. Janitorial Service and Everything Labor Janitorial, an environmental multi-site service company.
Eddie was a loving husband to Porsha Ann Crossty, his wife of 10 years. He was a proud father of five beloved children: Shanae Davis; Edasia Crossty, mother of Kamiya McDonough; Antonio Crossty, father of Kyren and Kashton Crossty; Kenya Cooper; and Chayah Yahsharal.
He shared an eternal bond with his 11 siblings: Steven Crossty, who preceded him in death; Terrence Crossty; Terrie Crossty; Lawanda Criswell (Charles); Julius Crossty III; Sherry Crossty; Julius Crossty Jr.; Jewell Crossty; Jeffrey Crossty; Janice Crossty; and Jenetta Ofori (Frank). He also leaves behind a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and dear friends.
Eddie believed in building a strong foundation for his family to prosper and cherished creating lasting memories with his family and friends. Whether tending to his fruitful farm, cooking unforgettable meals, camping, or actively participating in community events, he brought warmth and joy to every room he entered.
Even through this tragic loss, may we remember how deeply Eddie loved his community. His hands were rarely still, his heart was always open, and he mentored as many young people as he could. He hoped to make Lincoln Heights a better place because he saw a future that many others could not. He envisioned a future of community, not division; a future of prosperity, not pain.
Eddie's life was a testament to the joy of serving others and nurturing both the land and the people around him. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all whose lives he touched.

Yesterday Ride to Eternity had the honor to es**rt Mr. Lloyd “LL” Heckman to his final resting place to Bearcreek Cemetery. The stormy weather was not the best but we did get sunshine near the end of the ride. His daughter Amanda rode with me and shared some amazing stories and memories of her “Daddy” along the route. Special thanks to Rebecca and her staff at Newcomer Funeral Home for the professional job they do.

Lloyd “Double LL” Heckman, departed this life on on April 26, 2026 after a courageous fight with cancer. True to Nordic tradition, he met the foe not with fear but with the spirit of a shield-bearer in battle. Though the enemy was unseen, the victory was in the living and the legacy left behind. Skål to a life well-fought - may the ancestors receive Double LL with open arms in the great hall.

Born on August 12, 1960, Double LL will forever be remembered by all in his life. To his extended family, his true Brothers, Gone But Never Forgotten.

Lloyd was an exceptional athlete, excelling in football, ice hockey, Golden Glove boxing & bull riding. He was a very accomplished scuba diver, and key member of a national championship boat racing team. Lloyd was at his core an entrepreneur, one of his greatest accomplishments being Sundance Enterprises. He was always seizing opportunities and making things happen. Lloyd was a trucker, an expert tree trimmer/climber and astute businessman. He could fix anything and was most at home on the road on his Softail motorcycle.

Double LL’s wit, whether a prank or positive approach to a tough situation was a big part of him. His wisdom was deep and diverse. Lloyd was tough, stubborn and always direct. Most of all Lloyd was fiercely loyal to his family, friends and Brothers.

Lloyd is survived by his daughter Amanda Heckman, his grandsons, Justin Keogh Heckman and Jase Gabriel Michael Heckman, step-children, Anna Smiley, Mason Delgrosso, and Ashley Delgrosso, sister Sharon Adams and his many Brothers. Lloyd was preceded in death by the love of his life, Samantha Delgrosso, life-long friend, Gregory Martin, and his parents, Carl and Edna Heckman.

Double LL will forever be honored and respected by those who continue to celebrate his life.
