On Thursday, November 25, 2021, Edward Thomas Lanoue, loving husband of Melissa (Pinter) Lanoue, passed away at the age of 57 in Guyton, GA.  Edward was born on July 26, 1964 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He lived in Poplar Grove, IL for twenty-one years before moving to Guyton, GA. He married his wonderful wife, Melissa Lanoue of 32 years.

Edward was a loving husband who was full of life with proverbial jokes, a giving heart and an avid Chicago Bears fan!  He enjoyed spending time with his family, great nieces and nephews, riding his motorcycle, a fine cigar and a glass of bourbon.

Edward was preceded in death by his father, Robert Lanoue, and his mother, Margaret (Mackey) Lanoue.  He is survived by his loving wife Melissa and two brothers Mark (Laurie) Lanoue and Chris (Donna) Lanoue.  His four loving nieces, Jennifer (Robert) Ford, Nicole (Patrick) Nault, Shannon Lanoue, Katie Lanoue and his four great nephews and two great nieces.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.  The family is asking for thoughts and prayers as they grieve.
