Edward Marshall Peck of Coatesville, PA, passed from this life on October 18, 2023, at the age of 67. Affectionately called “Ed” or “Eddie”, he was the beloved husband of Cindy Lee Wertz Peck with whom he shared 46 years of marriage. Born in Coatesville, he was the son of the late Edith Cooper Peck and Ezra S. Peck, Jr.
Known for his love of family, Ed is survived (in addition to his wife) by one daughter, Katie E. Peck of Atglen, and two grandsons, Vaughn Marshall Bergmeister and Lucian Jacob Bergmeister. His daughter and grandsons (who called him “Pap”) were truly his pride and joy. He is also survived by one sister Sharon L. Wolf of Parkesburg, along with nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by one granddaughter, Danae A. Gibson, and two siblings; Donna Skiles and Ezra S. Peck, III.
Ed was an area resident most of his life and a 1974 graduate of the Coatesville Area High School. He proudly enlisted in the US Navy in 1977 and served honorably around the world with the Navy Seabees until 1988. His love of Country and of the flag continued to the day he departed this earth.
He was employed, for 32 years, by Johnson Matthey Clean Air in Devon, PA as an electrician retiring in 2018. He was a member of the Romansville United Methodist Church, the United Steel Workers Union UFW 1165-D1, and the Parkesburg VFW Post #4480. 
A self-taught musician, Ed’s lifelong love of music began early. At 14, he saved money from his summer job to purchase his first instrument -a twelve string guitar- which remained his favorite of the many guitars he went on to collect throughout his lifetime. Over the decades, Ed collaborated with area musicians across diverse genres including folk, bluegrass, reggae, and rock. He was a regular at the Old Fiddlers Picnic.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 11:00 AM at the Wilde Funeral Home, 434 Main St. Parkesburg, PA followed by interment at the Romansville Methodist Cemetery. Family and friends are also invited to attend the viewing on Friday evening, October 27th, at the funeral home from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and also Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to the time of the service. At the family's request, please come dressed in bright colors to help celebrate Eddie's life.
To honor his memory, his family has established the Edward M. Peck Music Learning Fund to help introduce elementary-aged children to their first instrument. In lieu of flowers, donations to the fund are encouraged, which will allow Eddie’s appreciation for music to live on.

Eddie was a good friend of mine growing up and a fellow Sailor and Shipmate. Wonderful person! May he Rest In Peace.
A Word for Eddie
A Word for Eddie
Eddie slipped into eternity unexpectedly and very quickly. During the brief time that I sat with him watching events unfold, I prayed fervently that he would be granted one more chance - a prayer I had prayed during previous near death “assaults.” I recalled and reminded the Lord of the promises He had made and petitions He had granted in the past on behalf of Eddie.
This time was different. The Lord tells us in His Word that before we are born He has ordained and recorded each day of our lives. October 18th was the day ordained for Ed to leave this earth and to begin the rest of his life in the home prepared for him and I cannot undo that.
My wish and prayer for Eddie was that he would have stayed with us. But I know now - as David declared, “… he cannot come to me but I will go to him.” That will be enough for me for now because I know I will see him again.
Psalms 139:16 … all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
2 Samuel 12:23 … I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
[For my baby brother Eddie from big sister Sharon]
