Edward “Eddie” Lee Keiffer, 74 of Marysville passed away on September 29, 2026 at Marysville Memorial Hospital.
He was born on February 7, 1952 in Ashland County, the son of the late Harry and Aline (McCormick) Keiffer. Eddie graduated from Ashland High School in class of 1970. Over the course of his life, Eddie held many jobs, working primarily in construction and sales.
Eddie had a deep love for the water. He enjoyed boating on Lake Erie and spent many happy hours on the beach during his years living in North Carolina. Music was a big part of his life – if there wasn’t a song playing he was whistling one. Outgoing by nature, Eddie never met a stranger.
He is survived by two sons, Kevin (April) Keiffer of Plain City, OH and Kyle Keiffer of New London, OH; daughter Shelly (Chad) Gruber of Roberts, WI; six grandchildren, Evan, Jenna, Caleb, Owen, Cayson and Dayton; two sisters, Dee Johnson and Laura Laug; a brother-in-law, Herbert Houser, and a sister-in-law, Beverly Keiffer.
In addition to his parents, Eddie is preceded in death by two sisters, Bette (Richard) Himes and Louise Houser; four brothers, Richard, Carl, David (Phyllis) and Robert (Bonnie) Keiffer; and two brothers-in-law, Gary Johnson and Charles Laug.
