Edward P. Gibson, age 47, passed away peacefully on Good Friday, March, 29, 2013 at Martin Memorial Hospital in Stuart, FL., where he had been residing for the past three years. Ed was born May 18, 1965 in Mountain View, CA., to Edward Gibson, Sr. and Mary Lu Bradley (DiPronio.). He spent his younger years in Bridgeport, CT., and graduated from Notre Dame Catholic High School in 1983.

He served on multiple ships including his favorite, the USS FORRESTAL (CV-59) and then as a reservist until 1998 when he received an Honorable Discharge.

He married Elizabeth Seno in 1987, had two wonderful children, Edward, Jr. and Tiffany and was happily married for 20 years until they parted ways in 2007.
