I am thankful to have met him, he served subpoena's at my office. He brightened our days, maybe not those he served. He will be remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ed was a former co-worker and a great friend, & work husband as his wife Heather named him. He will truly be missed by so many. He was a dedicated officer and was one of the good ones. I am blessed to have shared many great memories over the years at the Marion County Sheriff´s Office Forest District. Sending love, comfort, and prayers to Heather for the days ahead. Although I won´t be able to attend the Celebration of Life tomorrow, I will be there in spirit. Godspeed Superman #4180. We know you are watching over us all.

I knew Ed in high school. He was one of the kindest and most thoughtful guys I've ever known. It's tragic that he is gone so soon, but I'm thankful that he lived a life well loved. I'm keeping Heather in my prayers. #TilleyHawk
