Ed had just recently retired from Woodruff & Sons Construction after working his way up to superintendent. He gave them 43 years of service. Ed loved the work he did and the guys he worked with.

Also surviving are his beloved son, Ryan Byers of La Porte; and his precious dog, Bella; two brothers, Richard (Jeanie) Byers of Union Pier, Michigan, and Walter (Linda) Byers of La Porte; two sisters, Sue Grunow of Union Pier, Michigan, and Debbie Byers of La Porte; numerous nieces, nephews and loved ones; many great-nieces and great-nephews; and his beloved special friends, Kevin, Ronnie and Jay, who were more than family to him. You will forever be missed and in our hearts always. Your loving wife, Theresa, and son, Ryan.

Preceding in death were his parents; two sisters, Sharon Little and Rose Sample; and his infant sister, Nina Byers.
