Edward Lee Hammett, 95, passed away on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Sheridan Memorial Hospital in Sheridan, WY surrounded by his loving family.

Edward Lee was born June 30, 1930, in Lodge Grass, MT. He was raised on a ranch near Wyola, MT. He was proud to serve for the US Army during the Korean War. Edward Lee continued to work on several ranches in the Sheridan area. He later enjoyed being a truck driver and working for Metz Beverage.

Edward Lee was a long-time resident of the Sheridan Square and is fondly remembered for his heart felt hugs.

His favorite hobbies include putting puzzles together and sharing them with everyone, making breakfast for visiting family members, taking everyone back to the good old days with his great stories of his past, and the best part of his days riding the wheelchair to new construction sited around the area with hopes and dreams of being the workers supervisor.

Dad (grandpa) will be greatly missed by his children, Jesse (and Laurie) Hammett of Ranchester, WY and Colleen Hammett of El Paso, TX. He is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his wife Elsie and great grandson Damien Chavira.
