Ed served in the Army from 1954 to 1956 with an honorable discharge as Specialist 3rd Class. He had a successful career as a salesman for Ernest F Mariani Co. Ed was known for his easy laughter and always present smile. While he was a private man, he still made many friends spending time walking his best friend Zoe and soaking up the sun at the pool. He loved to travel and took many trips with his sweetheart Kristine to Capital Reef, Mexico, and anywhere his mobile home inspired him to explore. Ed is survived by his step-daughter Melissa Rogerson, and her children Annie and Sara. He was preceded in death by his parents, Max & Charlotte, and brothers Clarence "Smiley" Matern and Henry Matern.

A graveside service will be held Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 2:00 pm in the Mesquite City Cemetery, 301 Hillside Drive. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your local Hospice organization.
