Edward Thomas Feely Jr., 78, of Odessa, Texas, passed away on July 31, 2025, at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa. Born on August 6, 1946, in Corpus Christi, Texas, Edward proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy. Known by many as a genuinely kind and thoughtful man, his warmth and gentle spirit touched the lives of those around him. He was the kind of person who left a lasting impression, not through grand gestures, but through quiet acts of kindness, loyalty, and generosity. Edward's loved ones take comfort in knowing he is now reunited in Heaven with his beloved wife. The bond they shared was strong and enduring, and the thought of them together again brings solace to those left behind. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. A memorial service in honor of Edward's life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 23rd, at American Heritage Funeral Home, with Chris Hagger officiating. Friends, family, and fellow veterans are warmly invited to attend and celebrate the life of a man who served his country and loved deeply.
