Edward G. Van Tuyl

Ed was born in San Jose, California on November 11, 1941. He was the second of six children born to Reed and Jane Van Tuyl. In 1974, Ed met and married his wife Patricia Ann James at East Valley Baptist Church in San Jose. They had two children: Eddie (wife, Nickolena) Van Tuyl of Lincoln and Debra of San Jose. Ed and his wife lived in San Jose until 1991 when he retired due to health problems and they moved to Manton. In 1999, they moved to Red Bluff. He enjoyed spending time with his family, volunteering in the community, attending his church and doing "home improvements". Besides his two children, Ed leaves three grandchildren; Brian, Matthew, and Nalani Van Tuyl. Ed went to the waiting arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ, during the early morning of November third at his Red Bluff home with his wife and daughter by his side. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 11 am at Abundant Life Fellowship, 12080 Luther Road, Red Bluff, California.
