Ed lived and attended school in Whitefield. He then served in the Navy and was honorably discharged in 1983. He had submitted a patent request in 1979 for (are you ready for this?) an electric car generator. He was employed with a Union job out of Manchester, NH where he connected with a pipeline company out of Shreveport, Louisiana who employed him as a purchasing agent, traveling across the United States, ending up as an equipment manager. His nickname on the job was 'Large and In charge'. When Delta Gulf dissolved in 2006 Ed came home to his roots in Whitefield/Dalton. Here he enjoyed family and friends, hunting, fishing, shooting, 4-wheeling, and snow machining. He was predeceased by his father Edward R. Stevens in 1987, his brother-in-law Rodney White in 2009, and his mother Eleanor B Stevens in 2017.

Ed will be forever remembered for his passion of family, lively conversations, humor and political views, and his bigger than life heart. He will also be remembered for his sarcastic drawn out 'ohhh pleasseee.' But the vision of his index finger held up while he spoke, "I'll tell you what you need to do" will be dearly missed by all of us... A graveside service with military honors will be held Wednesday, July 15th at 10AM, in Park Street Cemetery, Whitefield.
