Ed Hrebec II passed away on October 10th, 2025. He was 63 years old.
Ed spent his childhood in Illinois where he grew up hunting and fishing with his brother, Dave. His love for his outdoor pursuits continued until he became disabled and could no longer enjoy them.
Ed met and married his wife Mary while he was in the Army and stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington. They relocated back to Illinois when he was medically discharged from the Army. They spent the next 15 years there and welcomed a son Ed III in 1987 and a daughter, Amanda, in 1989. They relocated back to the Northwest and Ed enjoyed time with his family, his five grandchildren, Heidi, Chloe, Eric, Katie and Ed IV. He continued his love for the outdoors, fishing and hunting and also fixed up a 1984 Yamaha that he enjoyed riding.
Ed spent many years making Native American Style Flutes until he was forced to retire due to his disabilities.
Ed was preceded in death by his son Blake, his Father-in-law, Clark and his brother, Dave.
Ed is survived by his wife, Mary; his children Ed (April) and Amanda (Jonny); five Grandchildren; his Mom, Edna; his Dad Ed; and his Brother, Steve.
A private viewing will be held for close friends and family at Andersons Tribute Center.
A graveside burial will be held at St. Mary's Cemetery on Old US 50, Trenton Illinois.
Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center • 1401 Belmont Avenue, Hood River, Oregon 97031. Visit www.AndersonsTributeCenter.com to leave a note of condolence for the family.
