John "Gary" Ed III

John “Gary” Ed III, also known by some as “J.G”, age 48, of Irwin, passed away Monday, December 18, 2023 at home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born April 10, 1975 in Greensburg, the son of John Gary (Fiancé Linda Edinger) Ed II and Linda (Jim) Reynolds. He was a member of Cornerstone Ministries in Murrysville. Gary worked as a financial advisor for over 14 years with Reynolds Financial Group in Irwin and was a member of the Asset Marketing Group in San Diego, California. He and his wife were the owners of Divine Consign. He also enjoyed helping the Norwin Elks with their car cruise each Father’s Day. One of his biggest joys in life was being PPop to his two grandchildren. Being humble and servant-hearted are the two things that anyone who met him would say about him. A shocking diagnosis, after living a healthy lifestyle, led to an amazing journey over the last two years. His story isn’t to be remembered by a sickness, but by his journey of “Unshakable Faith,” living his life devoted to his faith in Jesus. He believed in “Rising Up” every day, despite any circumstances. He taught everyone he met how to live life with love and compassion, even when it wasn’t easy. His life’s purpose of sharing his passion for Jesus, the love for his wife, family, and friends, and his zeal for life, will live on in the legacy he leaves behind, knowing we will all meet again and dance in Heaven’s fields of gold. He is preceded in death by a daughter Alexis Smith. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife of over 9 years Diana M. Ed; children Julian (Fiancé Jen) Smith of Florida and Sydney (Nick) Smith of Irwin; grandchildren Liliana and Ellie Mae; sister Dana (Daniel) Kaminske of North Carolina; and stepbrothers Jimmy Reynolds of Greensburg and Michael Edinger of West Virginia. Friends and family will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the William Snyder Funeral Home, 521 Main Street, Irwin, 724-863-1200. A celebration service will be held at Word of Life Church in Greensburg at 11 a.m. Friday. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Cornerstone Ministries, 2200 Cornerstone Lane, Murrysville, PA 15632. For online condolences please visit www.snyderfuneralservices.com.
