Edward Lee Judy

Edward Lee Judy, age 69 of Gulfport, MS, passed away peacefully on May 29, 2024 at Memorial Hospital Gulfport after an extended illness with both daughters, Jennifer Nichole Hardin and Chloe Jaid Judy, at his side. He was born October 23, 1954.

As a devoted, military spouse and loving father, he traveled with his wife and daughter and resided at various locations throughout the United States and abroad but called Gulfport home for the last 44 years. Edward was a dedicated military service man, retiring as an E9 Master Chief from NMCB1 at NCBC Gulfport. 

Edward was a loyal man and succeeded at everything he involved himself in. He loved life, the Lord that he served daily, his family, and the many friends he made throughout his years in the service. He was a loving, hard-working, selfless person who will be remembered for the love of serving his country, his strong mind and his ability to get through anything he put his mind to. He never met a stranger or missed an opportunity to help others in need. He always pushed his loved ones to do great things and saw the best in everything. 

Edward was preceded in death by his wife, Jackie Faye Judy and his father, Harry Lee Judy.

He is survived by his loving Mother, Leda "Ours" Kite; stepfather, Jack Kite; daughters, Jennifer Judy Hardin and Chloe Judy; brother, Kenneth Judy; and two grandchildren, Raleigh Amir Williams and Noah Kortez Judy.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at 3:00 pm on Thursday, June 6, 2024, at Riemann Family Funeral Home, 11280 Three Rivers Road, Gulfport; with a visitation for family and friends beginning at 1:00 pm. Burial will be held at a later date in Lahmansville Cemetery, Lahmansville, WV.
