He was a veteran of the US Army. He loved to do anything outdoors, especially camping or fishing. Mr. Ward had a great sense of humor and loved to cut up. Edgar was a devoted father and grandfather, and he loved his family and spending time with them.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Angie Ward-Pritchard (Chris); son, Danny Ward; grandchildren, Kamryn Pritchard and Karley Pritchard; siblings, Terry Ward, Patsy Trivette, and Linda Ward; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.

In addition to his parents, Edgar was preceded in death by brothers, Bill and Harvey Ward.
