Born in Kelowna, BC, on May 29, 1940, Ed spent his early years in Alberta, particularly in the Three Hills area, and attended Prairie Bible Institute. His working life was varied, including time with Loblaws and financial institutions. He later found his niche in sales, working for companies such as Robin Hood Flour (who eventually transferred him to Edmonton area), Remington Tire, and CanAm Distributors.

Later in life, Ed felt a spiritual calling and returned to Bible school in Edmonton, where he graduated as valedictorian and became an ordained Pentecostal minister. He served as the head pastor in Calmar, Alberta — a role that fulfilled his heart’s desire to serve his Saviour and his community.

Eventually, Ed and Esther returned to southern Alberta, where they made Lethbridge their home for their later years.

Ed was a man of service. He gave of himself freely where he could — helping friends and family, supporting church construction in Leduc, or caring lovingly for his mother in her final years. His quiet strength and willingness to lend a hand will be remembered by all who knew him.

Ed was a good man who lived a life grounded in faith, love, and dedication. He will be deeply missed.

A Celebration of Ed’s life will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 1:00 P.M. with Pat Siedlecki officiating.
