Edward D.

Hamp

Edward David Hamp affectionately called "Peaches" was born to the late Eddie Wright and Claudine Hamp on August 21, 1959 in Tunica Mississippi. He departed this life on June 28, 2026 in Toledo Ohio.

Edward was educated in The Toledo Public School System, lastly attending Scott High School "ONCE A BULLDOG ALWAYS A BULLDOG!" After high school he was employed at Jay Richards Industry where he was an inspector. He retired in 2010 and later became an entrepreneur.

The things he loved most were fashion, cars and his family. This was displayed in the suits he wore everyday and in the cars he drove. Not just any car, but it had to be a Cadillac aka "Caddie." He treated and cared for these like they were the most valuable things in life. Edward had a special love for his family and did all he could to help out in their time of need. He recently took his grandson in and was raising him until his passing.

He encountered some challenges in life that led him to connect with local AA and NA chapters. The support he received from these organizations gave him a new outlook on life. He learned coping skills and strategies to help him become a "Success Story." As a result he recently celebrated nineteen years of sobriety.

Ed found great joy in serving at The Inner-City AA Group. He always provided coffee, cookies and a warm welcome to everyone who came through the doors. His favorite saying was "Don't meet me there beat me there." His commitment to service left a lasting impression on countless lives and his presence will be greatly missed.
