Ed Banks

Clarence Edward “Ed” Banks, 81, of Bossier City, Louisiana, passed away in Shreveport, Louisiana on November 10, 2026.

Born on March 1, 1945, in Greenville, Mississippi, Ed was the son of Clarence and Elmer Banks. He worked as a paint contractor before retiring.

Ed was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather whose greatest joy was spending time with his family. An avid outdoorsman, he had a lifelong passion for hunting and fishing. His deer camp was his second home, a place where he made countless memories doing what he loved. Whether he was in the woods, enjoying a day of fishing, or spending time with those closest to him, Ed found happiness in life’s simple pleasures.

Ed held a special place in his heart for his granddaughters and took great pride in being a grandfather. He was equally proud of his six great-grandchildren, whom he loved with all his heart. His love for his family, his passion for the outdoors, and the memories he created will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Elmer Banks; his siblings, Betty Ridings and Len Banks; and his in-laws, Lee Ridings, Margie Banks, and J.D. Jacobs.

Ed will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his love of the outdoors, and the lasting memories he leaves behind. His legacy will live on through the generations of family who loved him dearly.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Sadie Banks; his daughter, Theresa Doty and her husband, Robert; his granddaughters, Daphane Delaney and her husband, William, and Brooklyn Wright; his six great-grandchildren, Landen Owen, Autumn Delaney, River Delaney, Raelynn Rowe, Klayton Rowe, and Paislee Foster; and his sisters, Jane Donald and her husband, Johnny, Virginia Jacobs, Ann Franklin and her husband, Jimmy, and Debbie Huenergardt and her husband, Eldon.
