Muras

Edwin Francis Muras, 77, of La Grange, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025. He was born on Dec. 1, 1947, to Vaclav “Jim” and Leona (Janacek) Muras and lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service.

A U.S. Navy Seabee and Vietnam veteran, Ed proudly served alongside his brother Ivan. He later built a life as a rancher, farmer, businessman, and jack-of-all-trades—always ready to lend a hand, solve a problem, or learn something new.

Ed married Helen Urban on April 22, 1972, and together they shared 53 years of love, laughter, and devotion. He was a member of Queen of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Hostyn and remained active in the Knights of Columbus, Hostyn KJT, American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans Chapter 870.

He is survived by his wife, Helen; children, Rodney (Vicki) and Melissa (Eric Bauer); grandchildren, Jacob (Hannah), Jamie, Kaitlyn, Kole, Jack, and Abby; and siblings, Veronica Genzer, Ivan (Monica), and Denis (Joyce).

He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Nathan James; sister, Cecilia Banse; and brother-in-law, Jimmy Genzer.

A Rosary was held on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at 7 p.m. at Fayette Memorial Funeral Home in La Grange, with visitation at 12 noon and family visitation from 5-7 p.m.
