August 28, 1947 – December 16, 2020
MONTAGUE – Edwin “Ed” Seelye passed away on Dec. 16, 2020 in Bowie, TX.
Ed had been in ill health for some time before he died, but it still was unexpected to those who cared for him. There will be no service. We will have a celebration of life at a later time.
He was born in Denton on Aug. 28, 1947 to Lonzo E. Seelye and Dorothy Laverne Sharber Seelye on March 25, 1990. He was married to Nancy Derks Seelye. After they met, they worked together in accounting in Las Vegas. She was the absolute love of his life and he of hers. She passed away in 2015, so he will now be reunited with her and his beloved mother and father and two baby sisters and his Lord.
On the Seelye headstone is written this: “Though we love with all our hearts, we cannot stop the rush of time.”
Ed and Nancy loved their time in Vegas but retired to Amon Carter Lake many years ago, to be near the family. They lived there happily for twenty-five years. There were many aunts and uncles and relatives in an area they called “Sharber Harbor!”
Ed worked as a mechanic and carpenter/builder when living at the lake. He also loved to fish and eat fried catfish. And he still had an affection for casinos, particularly Winstar in Oklahoma. Sometimes he won, but it really made no difference. He had a good sense of humor. We feel comfort knowing that he was confident in his relationship with the Lord emphasized in a recent social media post from Ed: “Don’t forget you belong to the lamb.”
The family left behind to grieve his passing are his daughter, Kelly Krueger and her husband, Jason Krueger along with three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, sister, Sherry DeBorde, Flower Mound and her daughters, Kristal Land and Lindsey DeBorde-Kent and her son, David DeBorde.
