Swamp People‘s Ashley “Deadeye” Jones mourned her cast mate’s death on Instagramwriting, “The world lost a legend! Mr Junior Edwards passed away! Please be in prayer for the family! He was one of the greatest alligator hunters there is!”
The reality star—who accompanied her post with a selfie of her and Junior—continued, “He was real hardcore outdoorsman! I watched this man bring in MONSTER gators at Duffys Gas Station in Pierre Part LA. This was after a looooong day for both of us and you can tell it! Glad we took a second for a pic!”
Meanwhile, Junior’s grandson “Little” Willie Edwards shared on Facebook“Rest easy pawpaw….i know your probably running your hoop nets or doing something crazy inside those pearly gates…you will be extremely missed pawpaw we love you more than anything!!! Until we meet again.”
