Edward Charles Waters (Ed) passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021 at the age of 65.
Ed was born February 19, 1955 to Wayne and Betty (King) Waters of Battle Creek. Ed attended school in Battle Creek. After completing the 11th grade, Ed decided to join the workforce. He was a cook, landscaper and also worked at United Steel and Wire, where he met the love of his life, Heather Isaacson, a new co-worker in 1998. Ed and Heather blended their two families together and married on July 20, 2001, enjoying nearly 20 years of marriage.
Ed was a devoted father and loving grandpa. Ed enjoyed camping trips with the family, listening to music, talking to neighbors, and doing lawncare, which he retired from in 2018. Ed’s most treasured time was when he was on a boat with a bobber in the water. Fishing was his kryptonite. To Ed’s wife and kids, he was Superman – a supporting, loving and caring husband/father.
Ed was always cracking jokes, helping others and, of course, fishing. He will be truly missed by his family, friends, and all who got the privilege to know him.
Ed was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Betty Waters.
He is survived by his wife, Heather Ann (Isaacson) Waters; son, Russell Lee Waters; daughter, Hailey Waters; son, Charles Waters; daughter, Rebecca Isaacson; grandchildren, Russell Jr., Nariah, Kyler, Jace, Onyx, Bennett; sister, Sharon; a nephew, and his favorite cousins, Rusty and John.
A celebration of life will be held in July 2021, due to the pandemic, with information to follow.
