Heck, Edward John
EJ entered this life on April 13, 1951. He lived life to the fullest each
moment he was here on this earth. He searched and lived for the feeling of
freedom. He loved the wind as it ripped around him forcing the demons to be
still and finally feel free as he rode his beloved Harley. He would also find
another love that satisfied his need for adventure and that feeling of freedom
- flying. He never felt more free or calm as he did when he was flying a 182
Cessna named '961 Gulf Whisky'. He had many, many friends, too many for any
one person to remember except EJ. He couldn't go anywhere without running into
a friend. He loved his friends so much that he spent his life giving what he
had to those around him. He loved America and the freedom she provides so
passionately that he chose to become a dedicated, committed, and proud United
States Marine who served in Vietnam. He fought many demons in his short life,
only to find the everlasting peace that Jesus Christ, his grea test love,
could provide. In the last months of his life, he finally felt free and didn't
need to run any more, his demons were gone and true peace followed. EJ joined
the Lord on December 30, 2004 peacefully in his sleep at his home in Ogden
Utah. For the past 14 years he has had an angel here on earth beside him,
helping him find who he is and allowing him to be himself. This angel is his
wife Patricia Ann Heck, who he lovingly called Patti Ann his Bunny. EJ has
many family members who loved and accepted him. He was met in the afterlife by
his son, Keith; his father, Edward Sr.; and his cousin, Peter. He is survived
by his mother, Virginia Heck; daughters, Laura (David), and Naomi; his two
sisters, Carol and Betty; his three brothers, Henry, Chris, and Peter; his
cousin Kenny; his stepchildren, Kyle (Christel), Tracy (Craig), Luke
(Danielle), Trevor (Angela); and 13 beautiful grandchildren. Direct Cremation
is provided by Myers Mortuary in Roy. Service will be held at Resurrection
Ministries, 184 20th St. Ogden, Ut, on Saturday, January 15, 2005 at 2:00 p.m.
