Eddie attended Washington High School in Georgia and at the age of 19 he migrated to Detroit under the wings of his uncle John V. Chapman. Shortly after his arrival in Detroit, he was drafted into the United States Marine Corps where he served two years overseas. Upon his return from the service he began to work at Chrysler Corporation from which he retired after more than 30 years of service. Deacon Chapman also did home improvement throughout his retirement, mainly plumbing. In doing this, he made a lot of friends. Eddie accepted Christ into this life at an early age and spent many years at Marks Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church where he was ordained as Deacon. He also sang in the Bill Moss Sing-along Choir.
