Edward “Ed” Boughner, born Sept. 27, 1966, in Oklahoma, passed away on Sept. 11, 2024.
Ed was a beloved chef known for his culinary talents and his ability to bring people together through food. He lived his entire life in Lake Orion, a place he held dear to his heart.
Ed was a devoted father to his cherished daughter, Sammy, who was his pride and joy. He loved nothing more than spending time with his friends and family, often sharing laughter and creating memories.
Ed had a passion for the outdoors, enjoyed hunting and fishing, and found joy in cooking meals for those he loved. His loyal dog Gordie was always by his side accompanying him on his adventures.
He shared a loving relationship with his girlfriend, Jeanette, and was a source of support and kindness to all who knew him.
Ed is survived by his mother Edeltraud, his daughter Samantha, and his niece, Julie, who will miss his funny, caring, and generous spirit. He was predeceased by his father Gary and brother Michael.
Ed’s favorite place in the world was up north in the woods, where he found peace and happiness. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched with his warmth and humor.
