In addition to his parents, Ed was predeceased by his sister, Wendy A. Seeley; and his brothers-in-law, Gary Teeter Sr. and Ed Campbell.

Ed was a truck driver before an injury made him permanently disabled. This did not stop his love of all vehicles, and he occupied his time with many hobbies. Ed was an avid RC car racer, sometimes traveling to events. He enjoyed honing his skills on Iracing and painting the cars involved. Ed also built custom models. He was a fan of dirt races and Nascar until all the rules changed. He watched several teams for football, never just one favorite.

Ed's best times were spent teaching his grandsons how to mow the lawn and use other power equipment.

In accordance with Ed's wishes, there will be no calling hours or services.
