Edward Pike Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 28 to Jul. 31, 2006.

Edward "Ed" Pike, 57, of Paso Robles died at home surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Ed was born Sept. 14, 1948, in Oxnard and was a 1966 graduate of Camarillo High School. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and his master's degree in education from California State University, Northridge. Ed taught in the Hueneme School District and soon after began a lifetime career in agriculture. He met "Reggie" in Camarillo, where they resided for 25 years, until recently moving to Paso Robles to be closer to their children.

Ed's passion for teaching carried on through his involvement with Camarillo's soccer community. His greatest joys came from coaching and traveling with his "soccer family."

He is survived by his wife, Regina of Paso Robles; children, Dan and his wife, Stacey, Jeff, Chrissy, Lisa, and Brett; mother, Dorothy; and sisters, Donna Howard and Mary Stackhouse.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ed Pike Sr.

He was one of a kind, an affectionate husband, a loving father, and a kind son and brother, a genuine friend, and a spoiling "grampy" (to three puppies). He positively influenced everyone he met and was truly someone his family and friends looked up to and admired.

Out of all the fathers and husbands in the world, Ed wasn't just one of them ¿ he was the best one!

A celebration of Ed's life will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 29, at Padre Serra Parish, Camarillo.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in memory of Ed be made to our angels on earth, Hospice Partners of the Central Coast, 277 South St., Suite R, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401.

I was one of Mr. Pike's 8th grade science and photography class. He was definitely my favorite teacher at Blackstock Jr. High School. He was one on the inspirations for me to pursue science and eventually led me to a career in medicine. I'm truly saddened to hear of his passing. I liked his "matter of fact" and his sense of humor. He made me feel like a special person, but on the other hand, I think he made every student feel that way.

To the family of Ed Pike,

I knew Ed very well in high school and I remember how kind he was to me and how much of a gentleman he was for someone so young at that time. I know that you were all very lucky to have been in his family and his presence by the way he respected others so much and took care of and was concerned about his friends so long ago. May you find peace and comfort in knowing how much I cared for him and highly valued his friendship. My father used to say how he had seen Ed and how he asked about me, the fact of which made me very happy with each instance. Please give yourselves plenty of time to miss him and resolve to carry on as he would have his goodness to his fellow men.

I have very fond memories of Ed from my high school soccer days at St. Bonaventure. He was always so good to me and I know he is in a better place now.

Dear Reggie and children~

I wish I could be with you and hold you in my arms. My Prayer is that God will give you stength and courage at this very sad time.

I'm sure you know how much Ed loved you all and was so proud to share stories about you. I know he is leaving a huge void in your lives.

I think it helps to think of the good times you all had together. Some folks spend a lifetime and never have the closeness that you all have as a family.

God bless you all.

I met Ed in 1971 when he was a teacher at Larson School and he was dating my high school friend, Regina. I met him again a few years later when he married Reggie and our children started playing soccer together. We were fortunate enough to become a part of his soccer family and enjoyed many, many weekends traveling around Southern California and Hawaii. He devoted a great deal of time molding our girls into wonderful young women and still managed to be an unbelievable husband and father to his five kids. Thanks for sharing him with us. We will never forget all the great times we had, especially at the Embassy Suites happy hour!

Ed's selflessness and love for life will always be remembered. He fought hard until his dying day and I just hope he knew how much I loved and admired him. Ed was a huge part of so many lives and he will be missed.

There is no queston that Ed deeply touched the lives of so many young people within the soccer community. He personally shaped the direction of my duaghter and I as we "grew up" under his direction as a compassionate coach and friend. Ed, you were the example of what it meant to give unconditionally to the community and youth that you loved. Family, please know that a part of Ed will continue forever. In the same way that Ed exampled and motivated me to give back to the youth of our communities I am sure there are many young women out there who were deeply touched by Ed's love and support of them and are in some way getting involved in teaching and motivating the next generation of soccer superstars.
