With profound sadness and deep sorrow, we lovingly mourn the passing of Edward Kralovich, age 61. Edward was called home to our Lord in Heaven on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, after a long battle with chronic illness.

Born on September 22, 1962, in Somerville, NJ, Edward was the son of the late Steven Jr. and Elizabeth (Herner) Kralovich. He was raised in Hillsborough, NJ alongside his 2 brothers, where he grew up to be a loving and hardworking gentleman, always giving his time to others. He then moved to Hamilton where he spent 14 beautiful years with his devoted wife, Gayle (Wargacki) Kralovich; and two beloved sons, James and Christopher; before settling at their forever home in Kingwood Township, NJ.

A farmer by trade, Ed began his career at Yablonsky Farm in Hillsborough at the age of 14. A master of many talents, he took pride in his many responsibilities here. He took great pleasure in caring for the farm animals and diligently worked as the farm's mechanic, taking care of all equipment and tractors- restoring them to their original beauty. He enjoyed being a craftsman and loved working on cars, especially his blue 1963 Chevy Impala.

Ed was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, his greatest joy in life being with his family. He was married for 43 years to his adoring wife Gayle, where love never wavered. He put his heart into all he did, especially being a father. He raised his sons to be respectful, chivalrous, and hard-working men, like he always was. He shared with them all his knowledge, patiently teaching them the hands-on work that he learned throughout his life. Every time spent together was an adventure- from mountain biking, to fishing, and vacations down the shore, they loved spending time together outdoors. Ed was heartfelt, caring, and spontaneous, always finding an opportunity to make everyone laugh.

In December of 2017, Ed fulfilled his dream of becoming a grandfather by welcoming his first grandson, Jayden, into the world. He was everything you could have dreamed for in a grandfather, and then some. Like he had with his sons, Ed spent a lot of time with Jayden outdoors, walking the wooded trails, fishing, playing sports, exploring wildlife, and teaching him a love for nature. He leaves behind nothing but wonderful memories, which Jayden will forever cherish.

Ed is survived by his beloved wife and soulmate, Gayle (Wargacki) Kralovich; two loving sons, James Edward Kralovich (fiancé Olivia) of Summit, NJ and Christopher Edward Kralovich of Upper Black Eddy, PA; and his deeply adored grandson, Jayden William Kralovich. Ed also leaves behind his two cherished brothers, Steven Jospeh Kralovich (nephews; Stevie and Eric) of Upper Black Eddy, PA and Robert Kralovich (nieces; Amanda and Larissa) of Hillsborough, NJ, as well as his best friends, Kenny and Bear.
