LACONIA- “Golden slumbers fill your eyes, smiles await you when you rise…” ~The Beatles
Edward B. Parent, 57, of Fairview Street, died at home on Sunday, November 11, 2018 surrounded by loved ones after a period of failing health.
Ed was born on January 6, 1961 in Boston, Massachusetts; the son of John and Maxine Parent.
Ed was employed at many local establishments during his life. Most recently he had retired from Guilbicki’s Garage, where he was proudly employed for 20 years. Despite his retirement, it was hard for him to stay away from work and he would visit often.
Ed was a die-hard Beatles fan, loved Nascar, fishing, camping and spending time at the ocean. Ed will be remembered for his quick wit, a smile that could brighten anyone’s day, his mischievous spirit, his sparkling blue eyes, and his keen memory. Despite the challenges Ed faced in his life, he always persevered and did so with courage and grace. These last few years have been a true testament to his fighting spirit. Ed was a tried and true friend to those lucky enough to know him and will be deeply missed.
Ed is predeceased by his parents. He leaves behind many friends and caregivers who were like a family to him. Those closest to Ed would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Bill, Chuckie, and Gil for their devoted friendship to him regardless of the circumstances.
