February 8, 1977 - February 26, 2021

Mr. Edwin William Kingston, Jr., “Cookie Monster”, of Dalton, passed away unexpectedly on February 26, 2021, just weeks after his 44th birthday. Born in Pittsfield, MA, on February 8, 1977, he was the son of the late Edwin W. Kingston, Sr., and the late Elizabeth Daniels Rosier. When Edwin was able, he worked in sales for Rent-A-Center in Pittsfield. Among many things, Edwin loved camping, drinking Mountain Dew, and trying his luck with scratch tickets. Edwin’s family was his top priority, as was making sure they always had a smile on their faces. Edwin is survived by his wife, Chasidy Kingston, of Dalton, as well as his children, Edwin Kingston III, Reayanna Kingston, Antonio Kingston, and Makia Kingston. He leaves behind his stepchildren, Alanah McLear, and Avianna and Hannah Galvagni, as well his granddaughter, Marianna Santiago. Edwin is survived by his siblings, James Nataro, Sherry Sullivan (Nataro) and her husband, Jack Sullivan, William Kingston, Raymond Rosier, and George Rosier. He also leaves many nieces and nephews, all of which adored him. Edwin will always be remembered for his bright smile and his eyes that could light up the room as soon as he walked in. Whenever the opportunity allowed itself, Edwin would crack a joke. His laugh was contagious, not to mention full of love. Though Edwin will be sorely missed, his memory will live on by all who love him dearly. Funeral Notice: At this time, there will be no formal funeral services for Mr. Edwin W. Kingston, Jr..
