Edward C. "Eddie" or "Tex" Titus, 87, of Kirksville, Missouri, previously from Burlington, Iowa, passed away Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at The Pines in Kirksville.
Born July 29, 1934 in Burlington, Iowa, Ed was the son of the late Clarence Lawson and Mary Minnie (Salome) Titus. He was also preceded in death by four brothers: Lawson, Hubert "Mike", Lawrence "Larry" and one in infancy, as well as a niece and 4 nephews. On April 28, 1961 in Burlington, Iowa, Ed was united in marriage to Marjorie Claire Calhoun.
Ed is survived by his wife Marjorie of Kirksville, MO.
Ed was a member of the 1952 graduating class of Burlington High School. He felt privileged to be a part of the Reunion Planning Committee each year thereafter and enjoyed the friendship of his many class members. He was Production Scheduler & Shipping Manager for over 34 years at Midwest Biscuit Company in Burlington. After retirement, Ed found his second "childhood" with Shottenkirk Motors. There, he and his brother Larry, enjoyed organizing and shuttling numerous vehicles between dealerships, auto auctions, and wherever he was needed to relocate a car.
He was a diehard Cubs baseball fan since 1946. He loved baseball so much he would become a Little League coach, even continuing to coach after his son "retired". Although his son ended up being a part of youth baseball/softball for over 20 years. Ed enjoyed NASCAR, camping at Bluegrass music festivals and the Old Threshers reunions. Did we mention he loved cars? Ed would look at the grill of a car and proudly declare the make, model and year. And generally he was correct. Most of all, Ed loved his family and the family vacations, adventures and memories they produced. He made sure his family had the opportunity to learn in person about these United States (Canada and Mexico), and Disney of course. Even if this meant walking in 95 degree heat to a museum of higher learning when there was a swimming pool beckoning at the motel.
There will be a visitation in Kirksville at Travis-Noe Funeral Home on Thursday, March 10, from 5-7pm. There will also be a Memorial service Saturday March 12, at Lunning Chapel in Burlington, Iowa, with visitation from 10-11am, and the service at 11. Pastor Dean Graber officiating. In memory of Ed, the family invites you to wear Chicago Cubs gear.
In lieu of flowers, memorials have been established.
