Edward C. Shult

Edward C. Shult, 83, passed away peacefully on November 11, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on July 23, 1942, in Astoria, New York, Ed lived a life marked by dedication, service, and unwavering commitment to those he loved.

Ed was the devoted husband of the late Mary Shult, with whom he now rests in peace. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, and community. He is survived by a family he cherished - his sister, his children and grandchildren, all who meant the world to him.

A lifelong Teamster, Ed spent decades behind the wheel, driving for numerous regional and national trucking companies. His work ethic, reliability, and pride in his profession earned him the respect of colleagues across the industry.

Beyond his career, Ed gave generously of his time and leadership. He served as a Boy Scout leader and was a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow, guiding young people with patience, humor, and a deep belief in the value of service. He was also an active member of the Democratic Club in Queens and proudly served on the Board of Directors for Third Housing in Electchester, where he worked to support and strengthen his community.

Ed will be remembered for his kindness, loyalty, and steady presence. His legacy lives on in the lessons he taught, the friendships he nurtured, and the family he loved so dearly.

May he rest in eternal peace, reunited with his beloved Mary.
