Edwin F. Pavlicek

            Edwin Frank Pavlicek of Moulton Texas, passed away peacefully on April 8, 2024, at the age of 79.   At the time of his death, he was residing in the Shiner Nursing Home.  He was born in Shiner Texas to Joe F. and Agnes (Krametbauer) Pavlicek, but he spent his whole life on the family farm in Moulton, Texas, except for his last 5 years in the Shiner Nursing Home.

          Edwin attended St. Joseph Catholic School and then Moulton High School, from which he graduated.  Just like his two older brothers, he enlisted in the Army, but was given an early honorable discharge due to health reasons.  After leaving the army, Edwin was a dutiful son.  He farmed and ranched alongside his father until his father passed away.  Edwin and his father, Joe, were seen several times a week at one of the nearby church bingo games.  Edwin, as chauffeur, would often drive Joe and several of the Moulton widows to bingo, picnics, or domino games.

          Edwin loved to watch baseball games—Astros or Rangers!  He was also fond of watching the news.  When he got cable TV in the nursing home, he really enjoyed watching CNN and FOX news.   He also enjoyed talking and arguing with his oldest brother Daniel on the phone every day.  But anyone who knew Edwin, knew his favorite thing was hamburgers!   He would order a hamburger almost everyday from the Dairy Treat, and later from the Moulton/Patek grocery store meat department.

          Edwin is survived by his two sisters-in-law, Connie Pavlicek and Kay Pavlicek, his niece Gina (Ben) Killmer, and his nephews and nieces Caleb, Nathan, Madison, Cora Killmer, and numerous cousins.    Edwin was preceded in death by his parents, and his two brothers, Daniel (Connie) Pavlicek and Kenward “O.D.” (Kay) Pavlicek.

          The family would like to thank the Shiner Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and Crown Hospice for the care that he received.

          Funeral Mass Service will be at 10:00 am on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Moulton, Texas, with Father Gabriel Maison officiating. Visitation will begin at 9:00 am, and Rosary recited at 9:30 am.  Burial will be in the St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery.  Pallbearers:  Duane Fojtik, Michael Janecek, Elias Krejci, Jerry Pavlicek, Melvin Pavlicek, Danny Rother.
