Edward Louis Wazney Jr

It is with deep heartfelt sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Edward Louis Wazney, Jr. at the young age of 59. Born in Fayetteville, NC on October 20, 1963, he was the eldest son of the late Lt. Col. Edward Louis Wazney, Sr. and June Rose Wazney.

Ed graduated from Hillcrest High School in Dalzell, SC in 1981 and from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science in 1987.

Ed was employed by Sampson Bladen Oil Company in Raleigh, NC as the Director of Marketing, operating over 100 convenience stores throughout North Carolina. Ed was also a board member of the Convenience Retailing University. Ed took pride in his job, loved his industry, and the people in it.

Ed never met a stranger; he was a friend to all. If you ever needed anything, Ed was one call away. He would go through all measures to make sure he was there for his people. Ed loved to golf, particularly Hole Number 5 on Pebble Beach Golf Links. He loved to collect unique aged bourbons. He also loved to cook, especially the infamous Wazney Spaghetti sauce. You could always find him behind the grill, smoking Boston Butts, frying turkeys, or grilling a mean steak. Above all, he loved to make a spread for family and friends; however, being on time was critical. Ed always kept everyone laughing with his “funny” dad jokes. Ed was the life of the party.

Ed was survived by the love of his life Mary Beth O’Boyle, daughters Erika Dawn Wazney (fiancé Casey Onofri) and Logan O’Boyle, and son Liam O’Boyle. Brothers Louis Wazney, Robert Wazney, and Paul Schake. Nephew Johnathon Wazney. Companion’s parents Paul and Carol Schake. Lifelong friend Stephen Cissom.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association: PO Box 417005 Boston, MA 02241, or online at www.heart.org/HEARTORG .

The celebration of life will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. Location: Palmetto Funeral Home, 2049 Carolina Place Dr. Fort Mill, SC 29708.
