He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 5, 1938 to Edward and Marion Kovacik.
Ed is survived by his wife, Maureen, of 58 years.
Ed is also survived by his daughter Jill (Richard) Dicker, sons Jeff (Daynie) and John Kovacik,
seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Ed worked as a quality assurance specialist in the marine industry for over 30 years. Due to the
nature of his work, he lived in six different states throughout his life before settling in Texas in
1991. A lifelong animal lover, Ed spent some of his spare time volunteering at his local animal
shelter. He took great pleasure in entertaining his family, and they will particularly remember his
unique sense of humor.
Ed was comforted by his Catholic faith, dedication to his family, and achievements held during
his career.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. Anthony of Padua on January, 26, 2021 at 11am.
