Edward Kubes Jr.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Edward "Ed" Charles Kubes Jr., age 78, of White Bear Township, on March 24, 2025.

Ed was born in Northfield, MN to Edward Sr. and Doris Kubes on July 1, 1946. Ed met Kathy Gangl in highschool and they married on October 6, 1966. They were together for almost 60 years. Ed started his career following in his father's footsteps as a barber. He worked for 35 years as a buyer at Rock Tenn until his retirement in 2009. Ed and Kathy enjoyed their winters in Mesa, Arizona where they met many wonderful friends. Ed enjoyed watching sports, keeping up on politics, and most of all, watching his granddaughter, Sydney, play high school and college soccer.

Ed was a true people person and was able to strike up a conversation with everyone he met. But overall, Ed was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He would do anything in the world for his family. We will miss him greatly.

Preceded in death by father, Edward Charles Sr., mother, Doris, and beloved wife Kathy.

Survived by his children, Jon "Jack" (Lanie), Bill (Carolyn Ruhnow), and granddaughter Sydney.

Donations can be made in Ed's memory to NC Little Memorial Hospital, in gratitude for their compassionate care and support during his final days.
