Edward Anger Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 17, 2025.
Edward Anger, of Overland Park, KS passed away on August 10, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was 73 years old.

Edward was born on December 12, 1951, in Queens, New York, to Matheas and Judith Anger. He grew up in the Laurelton neighborhood of Queens and graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 1969, where he was on the swimming, baseball, and golf teams. He later attended and graduated from SUNY Albany. After that, his journey took him from New York to Los Angeles, then to Wichita, and finally to Overland Park, just outside Kansas City.

Ed valued being connected to his local Jewish community, and his involvement in both his WIchita and Overland Park congregations was a large part of his life. He enjoyed keeping up with current events and being politically active, as well as ritually watching major PGA Tour golf tournaments.

Ed was predeceased by his sister, Leslie Anger Gray, one year prior. He is survived by his son, David Anger and his daughter-in-law Julia.

May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.

Ed was one of the nicest people in the shul when I started attending AAC in Wichita, KS. He was always so genuine, friendly, and had a good laugh. One year, I delivered him a Purim basket at his apartment in Derby, KS, and he was so thrilled to get it! I was so happy to see him show up at shul one day not too long ago! We had some good conversations over time, and I missed him a lot when he moved to KC. I'll miss him even more now. Ed, you were a true blessing to me and your memory will always be a true blessing.

The last time we met up with Ed was in October of 2024 in Kansas. He still drove and got around with some difficulty. At a museum we visited we had to use a wheeling chair to get him around. It was still fun. We watched the Yankees win on TV and ate the famous Kansas City Ribs, just like butter. I have known Ed for 50 years and have been around him through many of his significant life events. He was trained as a doctor for two years and knew his way around the medical world getting the best care he could under the circumstances. He had bad breaks but always made the best of it and remade himself successfully several times. He was a handsome man and projected a nice guy image, "Nice Guy Eddie". I know he could get angry much as any human, and he had things to be angry about. You could talk to him about almost any topic and that's what I'll miss most. Hard to come by these days when there is so much polarization.
