Ed was born on October 6, 1953 in Austin, Texas to the late Roy Jr. Drousche and Ruth Elizabeth (Doyle) Drousche. He was the oldest of three children. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Steve Drousche. He is survived by his sister Jennifer Underwood of Cedar Park, nephews; Shane, Seth and Sean Drousche, nieces; Shannon Obar, Sara Molina and Makayla Underwood as well as many cherished extended family members and friends he considered to be family.
A native Texan, Ed attended the Texas State Technical College, in Waco, and graduated with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Electronics. In 1976, he began his career with Tracor, Inc. and through the years he worked at companies such as Motorola, Inc., 3M Inc., and Flextronics, Inc.
Ed was a passionate person, who lived life to the fullest. He will forever be remembered for his great enthusiasm for the University of Texas Longhorn football. If anyone could bleed orange it was Ed. Along with other hobbies, he really relished a good "Hole-In-One" on the golf course. He enjoyed sharing his excitement of the sport with anyone who would listen.
To know Ed is to know how truly passionate he was as a lover of all animals, especially his many cats and dogs throughout the years. He treasured giving and receiving the unconditional loyalty and love of his many furry friends.
The Drousche/Underwood families would like to extend our gratitude to all the incredible staff at Seton Williamson Hospital, specifically those who gave their attentiveness and loving care to Ed.
