He was born June 30, 1939 in Whiting, Iowa to Mack and Frances Whiting. He attended Whiting Community School, spent one year at Cal Poly in San Dimas, California and entered the Army, 82nd Airborne Division 505th Infantry Regiment, on June 20, 1958, where he enjoyed serving our country, jumping out of planes and winning competitive shooting competitions. He was married to Dixie Harding from 1958-1976 and bore three wonderful children with her, Ann Marie, Nancy Jean, and Wayne Edwin. He was relieved from active duty in 1962. He served in the reserves for two years while attending flight school in Minden, NV, where his passion for flying took flight. His early career took him from crop dusting to working in a rock quarry. In 1966 he went to work for Iowa Beef Producers in Sioux City, IA flying their corporate plane. In 1976 he went to work flying executives at Interstate Power in Dubuque, IA. In 1986 he went to work at Banker's Life (Principal Financial Group) in Des Moines, IA where he helped initiate the flight program and flew executives and employees until his retirement in 2002. On Valentine's Day in 2004, he married Carolyn Valk and they had 13 blessed years together. They were married three years before embarking on the adventure of their life, relocating to Oregon to be near family, Lori, Karl and their precious grandchildren. This provided opportunities to explore the Northwest and deepen his love for nature, especially the trees and mountains. He made friends with the Tri-County Gun Club members and Countryside Church where forever friendships were made. Relationships became of key importance to him, and for that reason they returned to Iowa to be near family and friends. Ed was a quiet man who listened well and felt deeply. Later in life his faith was a central part of who he was and he sought to better understand the Bible and live his faith. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren. Ed loved life and really enjoyed the outdoors. He was a Renaissance man, enjoying skiing, scuba diving, painting, shooting, picking and eating berries, wood turning where he made spectacular bowls for gifts, and loved any horse or dog he ever saw. While he had all these talents, you would never know this by talking to him because he was so kind and humble. Ed is survived by his wife, Carolyn; his first wife, Dixie Harding; two daughters, Ann Marie (Mike) Kirlin of Modale, IA, and their children William (Maria) Roden, A.J. (Amy) Roden, Joe Roden, Jake Roden, and Eiron Kirlin and Nancy Jean (Lance) Eastman of Joplin, MO and their children Eric (Elva) Blake, Mitchel (Amber) Blake, and Kristina (Kyle) Lewis; son Wayne Edwin (Shelly) Whiting of Paola, KS and their children Shelby, Shay, and Shylar Whiting; step-daughter Lori Deanne (Karl) Welke of Metamora, IL and their children Annika, Ryker, Aksel, Maverick and Arbor Welke; sister Deanne Suender of Temecula, CA; fourteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. He was preceded in death by his father, Mack Whiting; his mother Frances Whiting; and his brother Lester Whiting. The family will be receiving friends on Friday June 9th from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at NewLife Church followed by lunch from 12:30-1:30 p.m. A Celebration of Life for Ed will also be held at NewLife Church at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 9th.
