Carl EDWARDS

1935 - 2022

Carl Edwards passed away on January 23, 2022, in Colbert, WA. Carl was born to Norman and Lettie Edwards in Dover, NJ on May 4, 1935. He got his early education in Dover and spent the next few years working as a truck driver, a machinist, a welder, and a mechanic. Carl was born to be a mechanic and spent his lifetime working in the heavy equipment construction field. There was not a mechanical challenge he could not master and he found great satisfaction in diagnosing a problem and solving it. He was highly respected for his knowledge and expertise as a mechanic. He retired from twenty-five years working for Cascade Cable Constructors in Spokane after traveling the west with power line construction. Carl was always ready to lend a hand to friends, neighbors, or strangers who needed help.

Carl was an avid horseman who took great pleasure in providing Alyson and granddaughters Shanna and Lacey support and encouragement with their horses. Many horse show friends were the beneficiaries of his help with trucks, trailers, and random other projects.

Carl is survived by his wife, Janet, of 49 years, and children Alyson, Randy, Kim, Philip, and Sherry. He had thirteen grandchildren and one great-grandson. He was preceded in death by his parents and five brothers, Ken, Norman, Elwood, Bruce, and Ron.

Please consider a donation in memory of Carl to the Union Gospel Mission or Salvation Army. No service is planned at this time.
