Edgar R. Grace Jr.
June 1, 1947 — February 12, 2023
Edgar Robert Grace Jr. (Skip), age 75, passed away Sunday, February 12, 2023 peacefully at home after a long-extended illness. Skip was a Vietnam Navy Veteran and is a member of American Legion Post 532 Columbus, Ohio. He is a member of Grace of God Lutheran church in Columbus.
Skip was born to the late Edgar Robert Grace Sr and Edna Beatrice Grace (Taylor) on June 1, 1947 in Columbus. Ohio. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Milly; Children, Patrick (Amanda) Grace and Misti (Jeff) Hartwig; Grandchildren, Corey (Kenzie) Ragan, Spencer Grace, Kendal Hartwig, Kylee Hartwig. Children from prior marriage; Shelly Boyer, Holly Rilea, and Skippy (Verna) Grace, many Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. One sister, Kathy Daniels of Columbus. He is also survived by five Brothers-In-Law and two Sisters-In-Law, many Nieces, nephews and cousins.
Skip loves Nascar racing and The Ohio State Buckeyes. Everyone who knew him loved him. Over the years he frequented many area race car tracks as owner, builder, driver and giving advice to those drivers that would ask and even those that did not ask. He introduced quarter midget race cars to our son and grandson and loved watching them race on weekends. He touched and was touched by so many great people over the years.
Everyone will definitely miss all of Skip's entertaining life stories and the grandchildren will keep trying to figure out what part of his stories were true. Missing him the most will be his beloved dog, Blake.
Our family would like to say a special thank you to all angels that have come into our lives since November 28. Thank you to the entire Ohio Health Hospice team especially nurse Tammy and the Kobacker House staff. Your love and support during this time has been so appreciated.
