Edward Wegman

In Loving Memory August 13, 1936 - February 8, 2005 Edward Wegman A MAN OF STRENGTH, HUMILITY, AND LOVE Edward Wegman passed away on February 8, 2005, after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Sumner. Ed was born on August 13, 1936, in Glasgow, MT. He joined the US Navy in 1953, transferred to the Army, and was honorably discharged in 1956. Thereupon, he embarked on a life full of happy achievements. He met and married his sweetheart bride, Judith Nahlen, in Great Falls, MT, in 1963. He then obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Seattle University, using his talents for many years in Personnel Management at Boeing in Seattle. Ed also owned and managed two successful businesses, employed dozens of people, and unselfishly put others first throughout his life. He loved skiing, and traveled extensively with his wife and many friends. Ed was, however, primarily a family man, his first love being his wife and sons, whom he taught to love God and respect the Bible. After a deep and thorough study of the Bible, Ed was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1968, and a dedication to following the example of Jesus Christ thereafter became his primary goal. He spent decades as an elder in several congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses throughout the United States, and was deeply involved in many of the large national and international conventions of Jehovah's Witnesses held in Tacoma and elsewhere. Despite these talents, he was happiest while humbly going door-to-door helping others gain the hope he cherished. He viewed this ministry as a full-time life endeavor, and like his other achievements, he gave it his best effort. Ed's strong yet humble example, his Bible knowledge, and his teaching ability drew people of all walks of life to embrace the good news of God's Kingdom. He left behind hundreds of friends, family, and an extended spiritual family earth-wide. Ed is survived by his wife and best friend of 42 years, Judith Wegman, brother Charles Hill, sisters Sylvia Searle and Pam Coyle, his sons Philip Wegman, Mark Wegman, and Dennis Taylor, seven grandchildren, and hundreds of friends.
