Edward Driscoll Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kenny Funeral Home - Sharon from Feb. 15 to Feb. 16, 2024.
WILLIS, TX - Edward "Ed" M Driscoll III, 61 years old, of Willis, TX, formerly of Norfolk, CT, passed away on February 9, 2024 in Jacksonville, FL doing what he loved - driving his 18 wheeler with his beloved dog.

Ed was born September 24, 1962 in Winsted, CT the son of the late Edward M. Driscoll Jr. and Solveig (Kolby) Driscoll. He was part of the Northwestern Regional High School #7 Class of 1980. After high school, Ed served in the Army where he honed his trucking and mechanical skills. Ed continued to drive professionally for the rest of his life, making friends at every stop along the way.

Ed enjoyed singing and playing guitar for all who would listen. He especially loved riding his motorcycle on the open road. Ed was a true entertainer; his sense of humor, kind smile, and stories will be missed.

He is survived by his daughter, Kristin Driscoll; sister Ingrid Burke and her husband, Matthew of Colebrook, CT; brothers, Peter Driscoll and his wife, Heidi, of Southington, CT, D. Neil Driscoll of Simsbury, CT, John Driscoll and his wife, Tracy, of Salem, WI, and Steven Driscoll of Norfolk, CT. He leaves behind 10 nieces and nephews and many cousins and friends across the United States and Norway.

A celebration of life will be held on May 18, 2024 at the Norbrook Brewery in Colebrook, CT.

Memorial contributions may be sent in a charity of your choice in Ed's name.

Ed was with me before, and we had great memories always, I'll always love you, I just wish you never left my house three days before. We enjoyed and laughed our last five days together. Rest in peace Ed, you'll be in my thoughts. I'm going to miss you dearly. I'll never forget our times together.

I met Ed when he was with Jayne. He was such a great guy and never passed through Kentucky without calling to see me

The world is such a smaller place without you here. For 40 years you have been my friend and sometimes savior. The memories are bountiful and most always bring a smile and often a laugh. I will miss you my friend. Always with love, Delina "Dee"
