Edward "Ed" Cicoria, Jr., 71, of Gilbert, AZ, passed away on March 24, 2023 after a courageous battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Edward was born in September 1951 to Edward, Sr. and Catherine Cicoria in Englewood, NJ. 

After finishing high school in 1969, he went on to become a sheet metal worker.

His craft brought him to Southern California, where he met his former wife, Amanda, and had their children, Brian Patrick in 1982 and Ashley Denise in 1985. In addition to working and spending time with his family, Ed was an avid motorcycle racer. 

In 1990 he and his children moved back to the east coast, where he finished his career in commercial HVAC. After retiring in 1996, Ed spent his time with close family and friends, and moved to Gilbert, AZ in 2001. In retirement, Ed enjoyed the various things he loved; riding motorcycles, slot car racing, and shooting guns. 

Edward was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by his brothers, Brian (Diana) Cicoria and Shawn (Donna) Cicoria; his two children, Brian and Ashley; and his nieces and nephews Kevin, Mark, Christine, Lauren, Brianna, and Kaitlyn. 

Ed requested a celebration of life be held in his honor as opposed to traditional funeral services. We request all of Ed’s loved ones to join us in celebrating their beautiful life at Wyman Cremation & Burial in Mesa, AZ on Saturday April 15, 2023 at 1pm.
