TC Edwards:
Little Rock's favorite metal fan
and the legacy he left behind
TC was a devoted fan of metal, and he also was one of the sweetest humans to ever rock the planet. While he was humble and unassuming, TC also was a real-life rock star in Little Rock, Arkansas, his hometown. He was a beloved, quirky, kind-hearted character – authentic, artistic, autistic – and a familiar face in the diverse Little Rock neighborhood of Stifft Station. His murder on Dec. 5, 2014, crushed the close-knit creative community that TC was an integral part of.
TC was a quiet observer of everything and everyone, lovable and playful like a kitten; and when the occasion required it, he was loud, brave, and strong. Behind his signature soft-spoken charm and childlike geniality, TC struggled under the crippling weight of autism and the far-reaching side effects of that disability: surviving the loss of his family, homelessness, unemployment, arrests, bullying, and more. Through it all, he held onto kindness and hope – until he was killed.
This is his story, his history, and his legacy.
