___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

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.
