Leroy “Ed” Edmund Hess, 75, lifetime resident of Danville, Ohio, passed away on Sunday, November 19, 2023, at Country Club Nursing Home surrounded by family members. Ed was a proud Marine who served during the Vietnam Conflict. He was employed by Grumman Flxible in Loudonville and Kelsey Hayes/TRW for many years. Ed was an outdoorsy type of guy. He loved hunting and fishing; riding his quad and traveling with their camper. Ed’s other love was his dogs, with the latest one named Peppy, who will miss him dearly.
Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Cloyce and Garnet, brother Bill and numerous other family members. He is survived by his wife Georgia, sons Mitchell Kane, Quentin Able (Michelle) and stepson Gary Bradley, 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren, siblings Kay (Mike) Sigman, Keith (Carol) Hess, Sharon (Steve) Gerber, and Jim (Denise) Hess.
There will be no services per Ed’s request. The family will honor Ed’s wishes by spreading his ashes in the woods, one of his favorite places to be. Any donations in Ed’s honor may be made to the Marine Corp Toys for Tots, St Jude Hospital, or Shriners Hospital.
