Mr. Ed Friede passed away peacefully at Pine Haven Christian Communities in Sheboygan Falls in the evening hours of Friday, December 12, 2025. He was 92 years old.

Edward was born in Thiensville on January 18, 1933, the son Arthur and Selma (nee Pipkorn) Friede. He grew up on the family farm, attended local schools and later enlisted in the US Army, serving until 1953. Shortly after his return, Ed's father decided his son should put his natural mechanical ability to work, and purchased a property in Saukville for him to turn into an automotive repair shop. " Eddie's Service" was born in 1957.

On September 28, 1963, Ed was united in marriage with Dorothy Morauski at Grand Ave. United Methodist Church in Port Washington. The couple lived briefly in Port before moving to Saukville, conveniently locating where Eddie could walk to the shop every day. They raised a family of four children. In 2000, Eddie sold the business, and he and Dorothy moved to Adell. Dorothy preceded Eddie in death in 2022.

Mr. Friede was a long- time member of River of Life Lutheran Church in Saukville, and had more currently been attending Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Adell. He was a 70 year member of the Landt-Thiel American Legion Post 470 in Saukville. As well as his passion for automotive work and cars, Eddie enjoyed traveling and had gone on many cruises with his wife.

Survivors include his children Amy (Jeff) Richson of Cedar Grove, Kevin (Julie) Friede of Saukville, Heidi (Steve) Halverson of Sturgeon Bay, and Aaron Friede of Adell, three grandchildren: Joseph, Laurel, and Garrett, and three great-grandchildren Isla Dorothy, Walker Lee, and David Reinhold. He is further survived by his sister Anita Gavin, other family members, numerous loyal customers, and friends. Ed is preceded in death by his loving wife Dorothy.

Paul Marks will preside the service. The family will receive guests at the church from 10AM until services begin at 12 noon.
