Edward Krohn Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 15 to Mar. 16, 2023.
Krohn, Edward J., of Horsham, PA, age 55, died March 10, 2023. Finally at peace after a prolonged battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Amy (nee Kolick), mother Winnie (nee McFadden), sisters Jennifer (Ray Johnson) and Emily, and nephews Zachary and Jeremy Johnson. He is predeceased by his father Joseph.

Ed's life was cut short by his many encounters with cancer, but the disease did not define him. He had a sharp mind, a keen sense of humor, and a musical taste all his own. He loved his family and friends, took great pleasure in his dogs, and would have travelled to Ireland at the drop of a jeff hat.

Our profound gratitude to Dr. Edith Mitchell and the Jefferson Oncology Department who gave us 15 more years with Ed than we might otherwise have had with a less determined care team.

An Irish wake / open house will be held in Ed's memory on Saturday, March 25, from 1:00 to 4:00 at the Jarrettown Hotel Restaurant, 1425 Limekiln Pike, Dresher, PA. Irish sweaters welcome.

Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (https://giving.jefferson.edu/giving-guide/research/medical-research.html - designate Cancer Research and note for Dr. Edith Mitchell) or the Montgomery County SPCA (https://montgomerycountyspca.org/donate/)

Oh sweetie, I do miss you so much. I can feel you near me everyday. You send me signs and I see them. I know you would laugh about that. I love you forever and a day.

Eternal rest grant unto Ed, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Ed´s soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.


May we pray for his loving, tough, intelligent and beautiful wife Amy that she finds grace to carry on the Krohn legacy. May Amy continue to be as strong as she was during the many years of care she provided him through chemo, radiation, recovery, and treatments. May Amy continue to be a beacon to all wives and partners who are providing care for their loved one. She is a gem and a trooper and with love her life with the love Ed filled her heart with.

Deepest condolences to his brave wife for lending years of support and patience with his treatment and feistiness. You were his muse, his sole reason and true inspiration for fighting so herd to live.

Words can not express our sorrow. His sharp wit with snappy comebacks and his huge heart will be missed. Always fun talking with him as we grew up. Sharing those "first child" stories. Turkey leg catching a dog, my brother finally growing tall enough to outgrow clothes to pass on to him. Oh the stories. And him having that special relationship with my mom. Thinking of you all, Lorraine and Joe
