Edward Philip Maire, 45, of Easton, PA, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, July 6, 2025.

Born on November 26, 1979, in Somerville, NJ, Edward was the beloved son of Loretta Maire and the late Kevin Maire of Easton, PA. He graduated from Hunterdon Central High School, attended Bryant College, and earned his culinary degree from the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Following graduation, Edward honed his skills and deepened his passion for food while working as a chef in Jersey City and New York City. In 2015, he moved to Easton and brought his talents to several local restaurants, most recently finding great joy in his work at Monster Deli in Williams Township, PA.

A devoted sports fan, Edward loved cheering on the NY Yankees, the NY Giants, and his favorite hockey team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. He had a larger-than-life personality, an infectious laugh, and a genuine connection to his community—especially through his interactions at the deli. Despite facing significant health challenges, Edward remained a beacon of positivity, always warm, kind, and uplifting. He was charismatic, well-read, and had an incredible breadth of knowledge across many topics. Above all, Edward cherished his family. He adored his nephew and nieces and was overjoyed about the upcoming addition to the Maire-Bartlett family.

Edward is survived by his mother, Loretta; his sisters and brothers-in-law: Theresa Maire (Jason Bartlett), Shannon (Chip) Doucette; his nephew, Jackson; and nieces, Ellie, Cat and Lizzie. He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Kevin Maire.

A Celebration of Edward's Life will be held on Thursday, July 17, 2025 from 11am-1pm

Location: Legacy at Morgan Hill Clubhouse | Address: 100 Masters Way, Easton, PA 18042

The family will be hosting a private repast by invitation only immediately following the Celebration of Life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edward's name to the American Diabetes Association.
