Edward Jack Erickson, age 66, of Yardley, Pennsylvania, peacefully went to Jesus on Friday, July 18, 2025. Ed was born in Memphis, Tennessee on January 29, 1959.

Ed moved to Yardley as a young teenager and was an active member of the community for almost five decades. He was the owner of Direct Mortgage Lending in Yardley, Pennsylvania. Ed took great pleasure in helping people to become homeowners. Ed was also an avid golfer and a longtime member of Yardley Country Club. He enjoyed spending time on the golf course with his family and many friends. Ed loved photography and capturing countless special moments. He also cherished animals, including his many pets over the years.

Ed is remembered for his generosity, his empathy, and his love of country and community. Ed's life was characterized by a profound dedication to his loved ones. He was a hard worker and took great pride in providing for his family. Ed possessed a magnetic sense of humor, and, above all, an immense love for Jesus Christ.
