Albert Gilligan Obituary
Albert (Ed) E Gilligan
November 28, 2022
Albert E. Gilligan (Ed), age 50, passed away on November 28, 2022, in Boise, ID.
Ed will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 30 years, Celeste, son Brandon, daughter McKenna, mother Pat, sister Monica, and brother Chris. Ed was preceded in death by his father, Joe.
Ed was born in Phoenix, AZ on January 26, 1972. He lived in Colorado for 25 years and was an avid outdoorsman. He loved camping, fishing, four-wheeling, gardening, and spending time with his loved ones. He was a brilliant network engineer who also enjoyed cooking, watching sports, and napping on the couch with his trusty golden retriever, Lilly. He was fond of working on what his wife might describe as too many projects at once around the house. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and those who knew him.
A celebration of his life will be held in Colorado Springs on May 27, 2023. Please email his mother at [email protected] for more information or to request an invitation be sent.

All I can say is that he was gone too soon. Comfort comes in knowing that he's in the most incredible place, with his Savior, experiencing no pain, just joy beyond measure. Big hugs to you Celeste!

I will always remember my son, my love for him and the happiness that filled my heart. I remember him as the man he was but he will always be my little boy.
