Edward Comerford Obituary

It is with great sorrow that we announce the unexpected passing of Ted Comerford, age 51, on January 16, 2026, in Newport News, Virginia. He was preceded in death by his parents, Donna and William Comerford, and his sister, Laura Burton.

Ted is survived by his uncle and aunt, Dan and Peg Fraley; his nephew, Zach Burton; and his many close and cherished friends.

Ted grew up in Northern Virginia and was a graduate of James Madison High School. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree from Radford University. A lifelong lover of music, Ted built a successful career as a music producer and promoter, a path that reflected both his passion and creativity.

Above all, Ted was deeply proud of the friendships he formed throughout his life. He will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved him.
