Edwin Ott Obituary

Edwin Ott, Jr. CHARLESTON - Edwin Davis Ott, Jr., 67, of Charleston, South Carolina, father of Elizabeth Kathryn Ott, entered into eternal rest awaiting to meet his Lord and Savior on Thursday, March 7, 2024. He died peacefully of pancreatic cancer. There will be a Celebration of Life held Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Daniel Point Retirement Community, 514 Robert Daniel Dr., Charleston, SC 29492, at 2:00 pm. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Downtown Chapel. Edwin was born April 8, 1956, in Charleston, South Carolina, son of Edwin Davis Ott and Kathryn Coleman Ott. He was a Senior Executive in the software industry. Edwin was a graduate of USC and achieved his masters degree from Drexel University. Edwin was a grounded, kind, and compassionate person. He was known for his humor, and for his unique ability to connect with all those he encountered. His life took many turns, but his most recent chapter found him deeply rooted in his faith, enjoying simple daily rituals of walks, reading, watching sports, and tending to his relationships with his family. He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Kathryn (Leo Farbman) Ott; sister, Kathy Ott (Stuart) Prior; brother, Burton Lee Ott (Karen); grandchild, Navi Rose Farbman-Ott; and five nieces and nephews. Memorials may be made to Lowcountry Food Bank, 2864 Azalea Drive, North Charleston. A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting our website at www.jhenrystuhr.com.

I remember Ed saying hello and asking how I was doing when I passed by him wether it was at work or the apartment.

I remember seeing ed at work, and at my apartment complex at central island square apartments. He would simply say hi to you were he saw you at work, the gym, the mailroom or going to do an errand. He was also a neighbor of one of my good friends at the apartment complex, and would love saying hi to all of the co-workers at Publix. Ed will be dearly missed.

I am saddened to hear of Ed's passing. We were roommates through four years at USC and then for two additional years onboard the USS Okinawa as junior officers in the Navy.
We shared many adventures. For his surviving family, please accept my sincerest condolences.

My condolences to you all. I got to know Ed this past year ( I´m a neighbor of his down the hallway a few doors ) He was a kind man and always had a smile, even a few weeks ago when he told me of the cancer, he remained positive. He had a good soul. He was so excited to fly out to Seattle to see his new grand baby. My heart goes out to you - he will be missed.
