On October 10, 1950 he was born in Osborn, Missouri to Lloyd and Muriel (Partridge) Edwards.

He is survived by his daughter, Abby Jaskolski (Nick); grandchildren, Evie and Emerson Jaskolski; brother, Barry Edwards (Donna); sister, Beverly Kirkendoll (James); mother of his children, Mary Adams (Paul); numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family; and his much-loved grand-pets.
