Enjoyed family nights on a weekly basis
Published November 13, 2019
BEVERLY — Edward A. “Eddie” Urkiewicz, 61, of Beverly, died on Sept. 8, 2019.
The Urkiewicz family, along with their extended family, announces with great sadness the loss of their beloved son, brother, and uncle, Eddie Urkiewicz, a resident of Beverly. He was born in Brockton on Sept. 2, 1958 to father Edward Anthony Urkiewicz, of Lynnfield, and to mother Ann M. (Saccocia) Urkiewicz, who predeceased him on Dec. 22, 2016.
He attended Lynnfield High School and was a member of the Class of 1976. Eddie dedicated his career years to numerous ventures, including owning a jewelry store in Wakefield; being a Notary Public Constable for the Massachusetts Justice of the Peace; and was an executive to the family-owned business, co-founded by his parents, Cardiovascular Instruments of Wakefield. Eddie was also proudly involved with the Blue Knights, Mass V, Constable City of Beverly, and was a Deputy Sheriff of Essex County.
Eddie most treasured being surrounded by his close-knit family where “Family Nights” were common on a weekly basis. He also enjoyed his lucky respites to the Foxwoods Casino, where he was well known for his larger than life personality, generous heart and comedic sense of humor. He will be forever remembered as being a source of strength, love and light for all who knew him. He will be sorely missed by the many lives he had touched before returning to his heavenly home.
A shared “Celebration of Life” for Eddie, along with his late mother, Ann M. Urkiewicz, was held at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Parish on Saturday, Nov. 9 to commemorate their lives. As an expression of sympathy, flowers are welcome and can be sent directly to Saint Joseph’s.
