He was preceded in death by his son, Andrew Mason on April 16, 2023; his parents; and his sister, Joanne (Gene) Krotke.

Edward was a proud grandfather and great-grandfather to a large and growing family: Hannah (Andrew) Peters and their children Aeryn, Arlo, and Arrow; Elizabeth Hunt and her children Wyatt and Konrad; Abigail (Fred) Arnold and their children Freddie, Cotton, Piper, and Goldie; Samuel (Katelyne) Rogers and their children Stella, Stetson, and Tessa; Olivia Witter, fiancé Kade Zorica; and Dalton Witter, fiancé Megan, and daughter Maesyn.

Edward was the funniest, kindest man, known for his generosity and his deep love for others. He loved the Lord and made it his mission to let everyone he met know that Jesus loved them. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, and he truly loved his years in the fire service. He brought joy wherever he went—always playing, teasing, and laughing—and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A memorial service will be held on May 17 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at The Old Creamery, 18 N. Park Ave., Deer Park, Washington 99006.
