at the age of 59 years:
A Celebration of Life will take place on August 23, 2025, for family and friends. Please contact a family member for details.
Edward Allan Epp passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm on June 4, 2025, at age 59, after a courageous battle with liver disease. Born on October 24, 1965, Edd was the son of Annetta and Vern, and spent most of his formative years in Vernon, BC. As an adult, Edd worked as a Carpenter mainly in the Lower Mainland and Whistler, BC. His passions included playing softball, his border collies, Baxter and Lexi, and his beloved sons Ezra and Arlen, who were the light of his life.
In addition to Ezra and Arlen, Edd is survived by his three sisters and brothers-in-law, Jean and Bill Wood, Diane and Will Madden, Darlene and John Lemon, nieces and nephews Lori, David, Aaron, Chris, Chelsea, and Bryanna, and several cousins.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their tremendous care and compassion.

Edd and I have been friends for over 20 years. We met playing softball and his first words to me were “I can play any position better than anyone else”… and it was true Edd was always great with my kids, helped me with a reno, came to my parties, hit on my friends , had an opinion and was always available for a chat. I adored both Baxter and Lexi and loved when I got to see the boys.
Edd and I are both scorpios and we had the personalities to show it! Edd was always a steadfast, thoughtful and great friend and I wish like hell he had received that damn liver.
Sadly I will be away with the family on the 23rd but we plan on having our own little memorial in his memory.
I miss you tons, my friend. I’m glad you are out of pain but wish you had a buncha years ahead of you.
Love you, Edd ❤️
