Eddie Atkins, Erica and Tina’s loving father was considered the strongest male member of the family and patriarch. As their father and a community leader & youth minister, Mr. Eddie laid the foundation for Erica & Tina‘s broad reaching musical platform that allows them to deliver their brand of gospel music not just to the church but to the masses regardless of their walk of life & spiritual understanding.
As of writing, the cause of death is unknown. Lets keep the family in our prayers.
