Thurman Dale Edge

Mr. Thurman "Dale" Edge, age 78, beloved husband of Jean Scott Edge of Warner Robins passed away on Friday afternoon, July 18, 2025 at Emory Houston Healthcare in Warner Robins.
Born in Dublin, GA he was the eldest of four children born to the late John Thurman "Stud" Edge and Ruby Nell Sweat Edge. The family had made their home in Soperton where he was a graduate of Treutlen County School, Class of 1965. After high school, Dale moved to Macon and worked at Robins Air Force Base in the Machine Shop. In October of 1967 he answered the call of the United States Army where he served until being honorably discharged in 1969. Upon returning stateside, Dale assumed his employment at Robins AFB where he worked as a Tool and Die Machinist until retiring with thirty five years of civilian service at the age of fifty five.
After retiring he enjoyed playing golf and spending time with friends at the Moose Lodge and the V.F.W. Post 6605.
Dale had a love for animals and was known to pick up and care for strays; and when neighbors lost their pets, they would oftentimes find them at Dale and Jean's house, simply because they felt drawn to Dale's caring nature.
