Edward Charles Sewell

Edward Charles Sewell, 61, passed away on November 3, 2026. Born September 29, 1965, in Long Beach, California, Edward later made his home in Arizona, residing in Tempe. He will be remembered with deep respect for the steady, generous way he moved through life—meeting others with compassion, offering help without hesitation, and holding on with quiet perseverance through every season he faced.

Edward’s working life reflected both skill and humility. He spent years in Colorado remodeling homes, bringing care and diligence to honest work, before choosing to be closer to home and embrace a quieter rhythm as a retail clerk. In each role, he was known as someone others could count on—kind-hearted, determined, and willing to lend a hand whenever it was needed.

Those who knew Edward best will remember not only his compassion, but also the warmth of his humor and the everyday moments that became lasting memories. He enjoyed video games—especially Call of Duty - Zombies, Unreal Tournament, and the many hours he logged playing Candy Crush. He also loved cheering for the Broncos, and he especially treasured time spent watching *Game of Thrones* with his son, Charlie—simple hours that meant everything.

Edward’s capacity for kindness reached beyond the usual boundaries, extending even to an orange tabby named Cheeseburger. Though he once insisted he “wasn’t a cat guy,” and agreed only to a “trial” stay, he grew to love and adore Cheeseburger—an affection that spoke to the gentle openness he carried, even when he didn’t expect it of himself.

Edward is survived by his son, Charlie Sewell; his mother, Martiza Verner; his father, Cecil Sewell; his brother, Steven Sewell; his sister-in-law, Michelle Sewell; his sister, Melissa; his brother-in-law, Sebastian; and his nephews and niece, William, Ashur, Elijah, and Mikaela.
