He was born April 16, 1962, in Tiffin, to the late John H. Sr. and Dorothy (Schreiner) Kummerer. He married Joy (Woolley) Zirger on April 22, 2016, and she survives.

Timothy Kummerer, and Kevin (Irene) Kummerer.

Ed was a 1980 graduate of Calvert High School, Tiffin, worked for Cooper Standard Products, Bowling Green, and was owner of a cleaning business with his wife, Joy.
