In loving memory of Preston Odette

Preston Scott Odette, born March 24, 1993, in Arlington, Texas, passed away on May 22, 2025, at the age of 32. Preston was a vibrant soul whose love for life, family, and the outdoors left an indelible mark on those who knew him.

Preston was the beloved son of Jason Odette and Carrie Edgmon. He shared a close bond with his brothers, Cole Odette, Parker Odette, Cooper Edgmon and sister Carys Edgmon. He was dearly loved by his step mom Vicki Martin-Odette, his step father Chris Edgmon, and his step brothers Jace Edgmon and Cole Edgmon. He was cherished by his grandparents, Susan Odette-Parma and Gary Parma, Eddie and Angie Odette and Ben Williamson Jr. and was preceded in death by his grandmother, Karen Williamson. Preston was also deeply loved by his many aunts, uncles, and cousins, who will forever hold his memory dear.

A passionate sports enthusiast, Preston’s heart belonged to football, particularly his cherished Dallas Cowboys. He found joy in watching all sports, cheering with infectious enthusiasm. His love for the outdoors was evident in his appreciation for nature’s beauty, where he often found peace and adventure.

Preston’s warm spirit, kind heart, and unwavering love for his family and friends will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of laughter, loyalty, and love will live on in the hearts of those he touched.

A celebration of Preston’s life will be held at J.E. Foust & Son Funeral Directors in Grapevine, Texas, at 11:00 AM on Thursday, May 29, 2025. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Texas Against Fentanyl in Preston’s memory. 

Rest in peace, Preston. You will be forever loved and never forgotten.
