SOLVED: 27 y/o Eddie and His Dog Sassy Found After Tragic Seizure

Video Description

On October 19, 2024, Eddie Robert Pullin Jr. set out on his familiar route to work at FedEx in Troutdale, Oregon. It was late in the evening, and Eddie was traveling in his 1994 Dodge van with his beloved dog, Sassy, nestled by his side. He had taken this route countless times before, but that night, something went terribly wrong. Eddie never arrived. For weeks, Eddie’s family lived in agony, not knowing where he was or what had happened. At just 27 years old, Eddie had already faced more than his share of challenges, battling epilepsy—a condition that had impacted every aspect of his life. He had endured seizures that cost him jobs, independence, and stability, but he never let it define him. Eddie was resilient, hardworking, and determined to keep moving forward. Through it all, he had Sassy, his constant companion and source of comfort. On the night of October 19, Eddie was heading to work from a friend’s house, but stress, exhaustion, and the weight of his condition may have collided in the worst way. His family believed that a seizure caused him to lose control of his van, sending him off the road and into the Columbia River along NE Marine Drive. It was a terrifying thought—a young man and his dog submerged, unseen, while his family desperately searched for answers. Eddie’s father, desperate for answers, had seen our work in previous searches and reached out to us with a heartfelt plea. He believed that if anyone could find his son and bring him and Sassy home, it would be AWP. His faith in our mission drove us to do everything we could to provide the closure his family so desperately needed. When Eddie’s father reached out to Adventures With Purpose, he shared not just the pain of his missing son but also the challenges Eddie had faced in life. His epilepsy had robbed him of jobs and opportunities, yet Eddie remained strong. He was a devoted son, a caring brother, and a loyal friend. On November 9, three weeks after Eddie went missing, our team joined the search. We focused on a 2-mile stretch of the Columbia River near Marine Drive, the route Eddie always took to work. Using sonar technology, we scanned the depths, searching for Eddie’s van and the answers his family so desperately needed. Then, sonar revealed a van submerged 12 feet underwater, approximately 35-40 feet from the shoreline. The weight of the discovery was immediate. As we prepared to dive, we knew this could be Eddie. When we reached the van, resting on its wheels, its windows intact, inside, we saw what no family should ever have to endure. Eddie was in the front seat. Eddie’s life had been marked by strength, but also by a silent battle with epilepsy that may have ultimately led to this tragedy. His loyal companion, Sassy, had stayed faithfully by his side even in their final moments. Later that evening, law enforcement recovered the van, bringing Eddie and Sassy home to their family at last. It was not the outcome anyone had hoped for, but it brought closure to a heartbreaking chapter. Eddie’s story is a stark reminder of the hidden battles so many face. His epilepsy was an invisible burden that he carried with courage, even as it shaped his life in ways he couldn’t control. Yet, through it all, he had the love of his family and the unwavering loyalty of his little dog, Sassy. We invite you to watch Eddie and Sassy’s story unfold—the search, the discovery, and the bittersweet closure we helped provide. It’s a story of resilience, heartbreak, and the bond between a man and his best friend. Eddie and Sassy, you are deeply loved and will never be forgotten. 🕊️❤️ ➦ Share this video to SPREAD AWARENESS of the service AWP provides for FREE! ❤️..
