Koch, Edward A., 82, Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, suddenly on June 10, 2021. He was born in St. Louis on January 16, 1939 to the late Frank and Ruth (nee Kelsey) Koch; beloved husband of Luana Koch (nee Myers) for 34 years; loving father of Victor, Carmen, Madalene (Aaron) McCarroll and Eddie (Carrie Stallone), Lisa (Jason Mattox) Scronce, Cindy (Jeff) Kennamann and Dina (Paul Mason) Erdmann; fondly remembered by his 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren; dear brother of Mary (the late Jerry) Watts, Ann (Don) Dzengolewski and the late Claude (Mary), Carl (Betty), Frances (Gus) Mercurio and Frank (Teddy). Our dear uncle, cousin and lifelong friend to many.
A legend was lost. Ed was the proud owner of Koch Auto Body for 47 years, where many customers became lifelong friends. His stories will be remembered by all who knew him. He loved Florida beaches, The Hill, all things italian, car shows, working on houses and black licorice. He always had a project and lived life to the fullest. He was strong as an ox. His bear hugs will be missed by all who were lucky enough to get them.

Ed, you will be greatly missed for your humor, stories and kindness as a friend. It just broke my heart to hear that you left us here on earth, but I hope you find all your buddies, especially my husband George. He thought of you as a special friend and good buddy. I got to know you and Luana through him. I love you both. Peace to you and I will pray for you.
God Bless,
Wilma Mueller
