Ed Cicci Obituary
It is with heavy hearts yet profound appreciation
for a life well-lived that we announce the passing of Henry Edward
"Ed" Cicci on June 24, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of 79.
Born in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, on November 12, 1945, Ed embodied the spirit
of adventure, love, and family throughout his remarkable journey.
Ed's life was defined by the skies he so loved to
navigate. A passionate aviator, he served as a test pilot for the Air Force and
the Federal Aviation Administration, a role that allowed him to merge his
professional expertise with his personal passions. He began his flying career
in the United States Air Force and then soared through the skies for Delta Air
Lines and the Federal Aviation Administration piloting 137 different types of
planes. His awe-inspiring knowledge of aircraft was matched only by his infectious
enthusiasm for flight.
Beyond flying, Ed loved to embrace the open road
on his Harley motorcycle, another testament to his thirst for freedom and
exploration. A man of many talents, he could effortlessly move from the roar of
an engine to the gentle sounds of the piano, playing masterfully by ear. Music
was a vital extension of his soul, bringing joy to all who were lucky enough to
listen.
At the heart of Ed's life was his family. He
cherished his wife, Jean, who stood by his side through every turn. Their love
was a testament to enduring partnership and mutual respect. Ed adored his
children, Mark (Jodi) Cicci and Marnie (Logan) Hirsh, who inherited his zest
for life and sense of adventure. His grandchildren, Tyler Cicci, and Evan and
Jamison Hirsh, were his pride and joy, lighting up his life with laughter and
hope for the future.
Ed was preceded in death by his beloved parents,
Henry and Ann Cicci, whom he spoke of with endless honor and loving
remembrance. Left to celebrate his legacy are his brother Dave (Chris) Cicci,
nephews Corey (Christine) Cicci and Darby Cicci, and great-nieces Hallie and
Everly. His extended family and friends hold dear the treasured memories woven
together by moments of laughter, wisdom, and unwavering support.
With each flight and every tune he played, Ed
Cicci reminded us to see beyond the horizon and embrace the possibilities
waiting there. As we say goodbye to a beloved husband, father, grandfather,
brother, and friend, we hold his spirit within us, continuing to inspire us to
rise higher and live fuller as Ed did—with courage, compassion, and love.
A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on
Monday, July 21, 2025, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Peachtree City.
Interment will be held at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at Georgia
National Cemetery, Canton.
We welcome you to provide your condolences,
thoughts, and memories on our Tribute Wall.
