Edward William Propst
REMEMBER ME
I'm peaceful now, put your mind at ease. I've rested my eyes and gone to sleep, But memories we've shared are yours to keep. Sometimes our final days may be a test, But remember me when I was at my best. Although things may not be the same, Don't be afraid to use my name.
Obituary
Edward William Propst, born on August 14, 1971, peacefully departed this world on July 2, 2024 at the age of 52. He leaves behind a legacy marked by kindness, courage, resilience, and an unwavering sense of humor that touched the lives of all who knew him.
Edward was a proud father of two sons, Robert and Ryan Propst of Catonsville Maryland. He is pre deceased by his loving parents Robert Edward Propst Sr. and Violet Ann (Muncy) Propst, and one sister, Gail. He leaves behind his loving siblings Lorraine A. (Propst) Barker (Donnie) of Essex MD, Barbara (Propst) Tarr (Jerry) of Zeigler, Il, Anne Mills (AJ) of Kentucky, Robert Edward Propst Jr. (Amanda) of Arnold MD, and Curtis L. Propst of Baltimore MD, also a host of many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly as well as many Aunts, Uncles and Cousins and Friends.
His generosity knew no bounds, and he always found joy in lending a helping hand to friends, family, and even strangers in need. He had a remarkable ability to find light in the darkest of times and knew how to brighten any room with his contagious laughter and wit.
Ed always loved the outdoors and found peace in nature to escape the craziness of a busy world. He was strong in his faith and would not want the world to be sad for him as he will now be sipping his morning coffee in the most gorgeous scenery and company we could ever imagine.
As we remember Edward, we celebrate a man who gave as much as he could to those around him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, and friends who shared his life. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit, laughter, and the warmth he brought into our lives will remain forever cherished.
Rest in peace, Edward William Propst. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy of love and laughter will continue to shine.

I'm just now posting this. It's so very hard to even comprehend that you're gone! I will keep our memories forever! You were always a wonderful friend, and always will be. We have known each other since the late 80's. Hard to believe! You always made me laugh, no matter what! You have always been such a wonderful, caring and compassionate person. NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU! You may have taken some rocky roads, but your personality and caring nature was always there! You were taken too soon, but I'm sure that Jesus needed another angel! Hug your parents for me. Until we meet again, "Eddie". I'll love you forever! Love, "Deenie".

Missing you so much Ed. I wished I had hugged you tighter and longer and told you again that I am so proud of you. I hope you are with mom and dad. I'm trying to get through grief but there is definitely an empty feeling in my heart without you here on earth with us. But I know I'll always have the great memories we shared all growing up. And all the good intentions you held sincerely in your heart. I'm always going to be so proud of my brother. 😢❤️😘😇🕊

Day by day, I think of you.
How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone;
I still can't accept it,
Just the thought of you makes me cry.
I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
Every picture, every letter...
I don't know if it will ever get better.
I always smell your familiar scent.
It makes me think of all of the times we've spent.
I know we didn't always get along,
And every time we talked, it would always go wrong.
So many things I never got to say.
I never imagined you'd ever be so far away.
You were my big brother, you kept me safe from the monsters under my bed every night when we were little. You were always "Big Ed" and i was "Little Curt" i couldn't have asked for a better super hero to have in my life to look up to.
And I loved you like no other..
In my heart you'll always be my Big Brother, i always thought that we would grow to be old men together, the hole that is in my heart from losing mom and dad in now that much bigger.
You'll be my guide and help me see.
I'll never forget your soothing voice.
I would take your place if I had a choice.
But now I have to let you rest,
Although without you my world's a mess.
I miss you with all of my heart.
I wish we never had to part.
I know you're always by my side,
So now I guess this is my goodbye...I know I'll see you again someday, till then, Rest in Paradise Ed, your Original Bunk Buddy, and little brother, Curtis.

Ed was a huge part of my childhood being my brothers friend.
He was always caring and protective. When I became a teenager, he was my first crush. He was handsome, kind and funny.
We lost contact for many years but when he came back around he was still just as kind and charming as ever.
You will forever be missed.

I met Ed while he was taking care of his health. I was new at my job and quite intimidated by the residents- until I met Ed. He was not going to settle for anyone, even staff, being uncomfortable. He was such a light. I have lost many guys through my career but Ed will truly never leave my thoughts. I could see the good in his heart and although he had stumbled, I know without a doubt his intention was pure. God bless you Ed and may He guide your loved ones through this journey.

Eddie, I'm smiling while typing. I will always think of you when I hear the birds and smell coffee. Thanks for being a good neighbor.

Hi my cousin Eddie,
I will always cherish the memories we made when we were youngsters such as - Family get togethers on Thompson Ave, family cook outs at the State Park, family vacations to Hershey Park, Dutch Wonderland, Gettysburg, Ohio and Virginia and my favorite - playing Tag on Thompson Ave. Even though we lost contact in our adult years when I relocated to WV, we reconnected in Dec 2022. I will always cherish our first and last selfie when you came to visit us in WV on Dec 10, 2022.
Love always,
Beffer

Ed, I will miss you forever. I don't know how they say this gets any easier but this emptiness and ache in my heart is so painful. We had so many plans. I am so proud of the time we were able to reconnect. I hope you knew how loved you were. You had a pure heart, an old soul. You weren't perfect as noone is..but your in a better place now with mom and dad. So much of my daily living is a constant reminder of you..music that you loved so much, early mornings ( just like dad), birds singing, the smell of coffee, walks through nature, pulled pork that you were so proud of, big ginormous breakfast that you would make. While living with me it was so amazing at all the little things I noticed about you, things you'd say or certain way of doing something..was just like dad. I'll cherish you and honor you forever my first best friend, my protector, .my baby brother.
