He will be forever remembered by his cherished grandchildren, Kalem Furey, Jessica (John) Mercer, Kendra Mercer, Zackary Furey, Sarah Tayler-Furey, Rachel Tayler-Furey, Kevin (Maria) Wong, Kirsten (Christian) Wong, and Milan, all of whom he loved dearly, as well as his beloved great-granddaughter, River Mercer.

Ed is also survived by his brothers and sisters, Jose Shea, Tom (Dorothy) Furey, Mike (Louise) Furey, Pearce (Ann) Furey, Don (Sheila) Furey, John (Louise) Furey, Anne Bath, Joe (Lisa) Furey, and Mary (Jim) Reeves; his sister-in-law, Theresa Furey; and his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Sally Miles, Jim Walls, and Alan (Dixie) Walls, along with a large circle of nieces, nephews, extended family, and many dear friends.

Ed was a proud family man whose greatest joy came from the people he loved. He will be remembered for his kind heart, gentle spirit, wonderful sense of humor, and his deep love of music. Whether playing his harmonica, guitar, or accordion, his music brought joy to those around him. His faith remained an important part of his life. Throughout his working years, he dedicated himself to the mining industry for 49 years, always taking pride in providing for his family.

Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the love, wisdom, laughter, and countless memories he leaves behind. His legacy will live on in the lives of all who knew and loved him.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, hospice and palliative care teams whose compassion, kindness, and exceptional care brought comfort and dignity to Ed during his final days.

In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that you make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
