BELGRADE—Edward James Perkowski II, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at the age of 54 in his home.
Ed was born on September 23, 1970, to Edward James and Rebecca (Petri) Perkowski in Erie County, Pennsylvania. He grew up near Erie and spent most of his life in the area. For many years, he worked as a janitor. In 2019, Ed made the move to Belgrade, Nebraska, where he built a new chapter of his life.
