Obituary of Edward George Gunther

Edward G. Gunther, known affectionately as Ed to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2025, in Essexville, Michigan. Born on January 13, 1942, in Kawkawlin, Michigan, Ed's life was characterized by his kind nature, boundless generosity, and a heart of gold that touched everyone he met.

Ed is survived by his beloved wife, Mary M. Gunther, with whom he shared a life full of love and cherished moments. He was a devoted father to his children, Walter L. Barringer, Candra S. Gunther, and Kevin L. Barringer, and a doting grandfather who took great joy in his grandchildren's lives. His caring spirit extended to his brother and sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and a large circle of extended family and friends.

Throughout his life, Ed was known for his commitment to his work. He took great pride in his classic '67 Cornet, which he meticulously cared for.  He loved going to car shows. His passion for vintage automobiles was a significant part of his life and brought him much happiness.

Ed's love for the outdoors was evident in his enthusiasm for fishing and hunting. He cherished the serenity of nature and the thrill of the catch. These hobbies provided him with countless stories and memories, which he eagerly shared with others.

As we remember Ed, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and joy. His kindness was a beacon of light, and his generosity knew no bounds. Ed's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the warmth he brought to every room. His presence will be profoundly missed, but the impact of his life will continue to be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In keeping with Ed's spirit, his life will be honored and remembered in the hearts of his family and friends. His stories, his laughter, and his kindness will be cherished and carried forward by those who loved him.

Edward G. Gunther's journey on this earth has come to a peaceful end, but the memories he created will forever live on. We bid farewell to a remarkable man whose life was a testament to the beauty of kindness and the strength of family bonds.  To sign online guestbook, visit www.cremationsocietymidmi.com  Arrangements made with the Cremation Society of Mid Michigan.
