With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we share the news of the passing of Junior Edwards, a beloved figure known to many from the hit TV series Swamp People. Junior passed away this morning, leaving behind a legacy of strength, grit, and an unshakable spirit that embodied the heart of the Louisiana swamps.
Junior was more than a television personality—he was a father, a friend, and a fierce symbol of perseverance. Known for his no-nonsense attitude, hard-earned wisdom, and the unforgettable way he commanded the waters in search of gators, Junior became a fan favorite. His “we will survive” mindset wasn’t just a catchphrase—it was how he lived every single day.
Many remember his late son Randy Edwards, who tragically died in a vehicle accident years ago. Our hearts break once again for the Edwards family as they face another devastating loss. The love and memories that viewers and friends have shared over the years—like passing down hunting clothes to Randy’s children—speak to the deep bond and respect so many had for Junior and his family.
Now, as we imagine Junior reunited with Randy, hunting gators together in the great beyond, we ask everyone to please keep the Edwards family in your thoughts and prayers. They need comfort, strength, and peace during this heartbreaking time.
Rest easy, Junior. The swamp won’t be the same without you.
