A wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend,
Edward P. Kearney, 72, fought a courageous 13 year battle that ended at home on
the evening of November 9, 2014 with his wife, Linda (of 45 years) and daughter
Megan at his side. Always the wife-pleaser, Ed hung on until Linda told him it
was ok to go. Ed was born on March 26, 1942 to parents Helen and John Kearney
in Washington, DC. He is survived by his wife Linda, son Sean, daughters Erin
Mueller (Josh), Allyson Gahan (Kyle) and Megan McGrath (Tripp) , sister Grace
Anne, brother in law "Smitty", six grandchildren, nieces, nephews,
and countless close friends. Ed is reunited in eternal life with his parents,
sister Mary Theresa, nephew Michael Grimesey, and grandson Brody Gahan. Ed also
had a "second family" as his wife Linda sometimes referred to his
employer of almost 40 years... WLUC TV6. Ed was passionate about the news and
had the uncanny ability to balance family and work while keeping both happy. He
has touched countless lives through his career at TV6 and was inducted into the
Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame in 2006. Ed will be remembered for his quick
Irish sarcastic humor, his love for the Green Bay Packers, his dedication to
The Lord and savior Jesus Christ, and his ability to fix anything. Ed also
continued to help and serve others even while he was fighting his own battle.
He delivered meals on wheels and volunteered to drive patients to/from doctor
appointments, in between his own. Most of all Ed was a wonderful husband and an
unbelievable father. In lieu of flowers,
Ed would have asked that you do one kind act in his name... donate a little of
your time or money to a favorite charity, give a stranger a compliment, or
simply pray for someone.
