Vernon Edward Caddell

caring and strong mother, Myrtle. She raised Ed along with his four other brothers single-handedly and she gave him his

moral compass that he would use throughout his life.He was blessed to graduate from Cortez High School in the

class of 1969. He so enjoyed going to all the reunions and reminiscing about the good old days.He was blessed to marry

Nancy Olsen on his 25th birthday 9/7/1976 in Phoenix AZ. They were quite opposite in so many different ways but always

found the middle ground to make it work and be happily married for over 40 years.He was blessed to have

three children, Travis, Emily and Rachel. They learned from him the importance ofmaking “good life choices”

and he was so proud of the wonderful adults they have turned out to be.He was blessed to have five

grandchildren which gave him permission to continue acting like a little kid wrestling, teasing and creating general silliness.

He was blessed to have two talents, comical wit and the gift of gab. There wasn’t a day went by that he didn’t use

these to the bestof his ability to make people, often strangers, laugh and feel happy. He definitely made an

impression on everyone he met.He was blessed to have good health and live life to the fullest till the day

he died suddenly of a pulmonary embolism. And so it isthat we were the ones also blessed to have known and loved him.

Preceded in death by his mother Myrtle Terrell and brother Gerry Terrell.Survived by wife, Nancy, son Travis (Brielle),
