Edward Lewis McGill, 63, of High Point, NC, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2024, at High Point Regional Hospital. He was born on August 5, 1961, in High Point, NC, the son of the late Jeanne Boyce McGill and Lewis McGill.

Edward was raised in a Christian home and was a lifelong member of Congregational United Church of Christ. His faith guided his life and shaped the kind, generous man he became. Throughout his life, he embodied the values of love, compassion, and humility, making an impression on everyone he met. Edward never met a stranger, always ready with a warm smile, a listening ear, and an open heart.

He shared a deep and special bond with his family, especially his father, with whom he enjoyed many fishing trips, and his dear cousins, whom he considered siblings. Edward’s love for his family and friends was unwavering, and his joyful spirit and sense of humor will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In his youth, Edward was an avid basketball player, a sport he loved dearly, and it remained one of his many passions throughout his life. Even in his later years, he continued to enjoy fishing, often reminiscing about the peaceful moments spent with his father at their favorite spots.

Edward is survived by his special friend, Mary Brunson, a host of cousins, and many friends who were like family to him. Though his presence will be greatly missed, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
