Edwin “Ed” D. Hulbert, 89

Edwin “Ed” Hulbert, 89, passed away peacefully at home after an extended illness on October 1, 2024. Born on October 20, 1934, Ed lived a full and meaningful life, marked by his love for family, service to his country, and remarkable skills. He proudly served in the U.S. Army for three years, stationed in Alaska, before returning home to marry his beloved wife, Linda, on September 23, 1961. Together, they shared over six decades of marriage.

A true jack of all trades, Ed’s passion for woodworking and mechanics was evident in the beautiful cabinets he built for his home and his son’s, as well as the countless home repairs and renovations he undertook, including building an addition to his son’s house. He had a natural gift for working with his hands, from home projects to rebuilding engines. Earlier in life, Ed enjoyed camping trips with his wife and sons.

Edwin is survived by his wife, Linda; sons, Brent Hulbert, Gus (Martha) Hulbert, and Brian Hulbert; grandchildren, Cody (Morgan) Hulbert, Cory Hulbert, Jacob (Janna), Keith (Brooke) Hulbert, James (Lacy) Edwin, and Brian Hulbert Jr.; step-granddaughters, Natasha (Collin) Wallace and Miranda (Lucas) Leonard; great-grandchildren, Nolan, Avery, Colby, Rhett, Brycen, Alana, Maylan, and Abram; siblings Isla, Virginia, Elsie, Thelma, Carol and Bob. He is preceded by his parents; brothers, Harold, Roger “Bud”, and Gene; and sisters; Dorothy, Marian, and June.

Ed’s legacy of craftsmanship, love, and dedication will continue to live on. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

A graveside service will be held 11:00 am, Monday, October 7, 2024, at Fountain Grove Cemetery with pastor Mary Beth Smith-Gunn officiating. Military Honors will follow.

Memorials may be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, 509 Center St, Bryan, OH 43506.
