PARKERSBURG — Established by the family and friends of Edward George Haislop V, the Eddie Haislop Memorial Endowment Fund honors the vibrant life and legacy of a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend through the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation.

Haislop was born on July 1, 1993, and passed away July 26, 2025, leaving behind a community deeply touched by his kindness, humor, and the unwavering love he gave so freely, according to a press release announcing the fund from the PACF.

A native of Parkersburg and a graduate of both Parkersburg High School and West Virginia University, he was known for his magnetic personality and ability to connect with anyone, the release said. He was the owner of Acemed Solutions, where he worked alongside his family to improve the lives of patients across West Virginia.

Haislop’s love for swimming and the outdoors was a defining part of his life. The North Hills Pool was a place of joy, friendship, and lasting memories for Haislop and those closest to him, the release said. In honor of that special connection, this permanent endowment provides support to the YMCA of Parkersburg to host a summer swim invitational at the North Hills Pool, helping ensure that future generations can experience the same sense of community and camaraderie that he cherished so deeply, the release said.

The Eddie Haislop Memorial Endowment is administered by the PACF, a nationally accredited, highly regarded, and widely supported public charity with more than 60 years of experience of managing permanent charitable funds.

Individuals who wish to support the fund may do so by mailing a check, made payable to the PACF with Eddie Haislop Memorial Endowment Fund on the memo line, to PACF, PO Box 1762, Parkersburg, WV 26102. Donations may also be made online at www.pacfwv.com/EddieHaislop.
