Edward Bernard Karopchinsky II's Obituary
Edward “Ed” Bernard Karopchinsky II, 67, of Beverdam, passed away Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at his home.
“When I was in the Marine Corps....” was a favorite saying of Ed’s. He loved his time in the Corps - 20 years. He programmed, built and repaired computers.
Ed had a passion for hunting and fishing and later photographed his trips. He had a unique sense of humor and teased everybody.
Ed loved his family, especially the grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was more than just a husband, a father, a Marine, and a friend. He was a teacher, a mentor, a therapist, a shoulder, and most of all, a Hero.
Ed is survived by his wife of 46 years, Jo Ann Karopchinsky; three sons, Edward Karopchinsky III (Heather), Steven Karopchinsky, and Bart Karopchinsky, all of Partlow; four brothers and a sister, Peter G. Karopchinsky, Jr. (Martha) of Maryland, Gina Karopchinsky (Barb) and John Karopchinsky (Diana), all of West Virginia, and Marty Karopchinsky (Mary) and Vernon Karopchinsky (Teresa), all of Maryland; nine grandchildren, Brea Ann, Payne, Nevaeh, Axyl, Dominick, Michalah, Heath, and Olivia; two great-grandchildren, Jax and Max; numerous nieces and nephews; and many other family and close friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Mary Karopchinsky, Sr.; and a granddaughter, Taylor Karopchinsky.
A graveside service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 15, 2022 in Quantico National Cemetery, 18424 Joplin Road, Triangle, VA 22172.
