HERMANSON
Edward C.

November 28, 1966 - May 9, 2023

Edward C. Hermanson was born on November 28, 1966 in Drumheller, AB, and died on May 9, 2023 in Victoria, BC.
He is survived by his son Curtis, daughter Harlequine, several grandkids, sisters Winda Peevey, Tina Hermanson, brother Will Hermanson, and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Ed was predeceased by his parents, William and Esther Hermanson.
Ed worked at Budget Rental in Edmonton for several years before recently joining the team at Save on Foods in Victoria. Ed was a jokester pulling pranks and making people laugh, especially his coworkers, friends and family. He was very mechanically inclined, and there wasn’t much he couldn’t take apart, fix and put back together. Ed loved stock-car racing, collecting Hot Wheels cars, and building model cars. He loved fishing and spending time outdoors.
A private family gathering will be held at a later date to celebrate Ed’s life.
“Caught a train to God’s country to go fishing with Mom and Dad.”
