Funeral services were held May 5, at First Presbyterian Church, Miller, with the Rev. Brian Jones officiating. Pallbearers were Randy Johnson, Arnold Johnson, Jim Waring Kent Reimann, Johnny Knippling and Sonny Heezen. Honorary pallbearers were special friends, Steve Persinger, Steve Braaten, Randy South, Norm and Margo Meriweather, Dick and Donna Bjerke, Fred and Bev Hubbard, Doris Meriweather, Rich and Beck Nelson, Dave Fulda, Jim Bittner, Bill Yerman, and Rod and Kathy Smit. Dave Edwards was born May 16, 1925, to Guy and Helena (Patske) Edwards on the family farm southwest of Ree Heights. Later, the family moved to the Reese Ranch southwest of Miller, and in 1936, they moved to Backus, MN, where Dave attended grade school. While attending Backus High, Dave played basketball until breaking his pelvis in a dairy farm accident. Dave then finished the basketball season as a cheerleader, graduating in 1943. In 1947, Dave returned to South Dakota where he worked for his uncle, Pat Prostrollo, in Howard, before moving to Hand County, where he worked for Bill and Margaret Wade on their farm. Dave married Babe Shaw on Jun 20, 1949, at the Lutheran Church in Miller. To this union, two sons were born: Danny in 1950 and Doug in 1952. In 1961, Dave and Babe purchased the Wade Farm south of Miller, where they spent 55 years of married life operating the Edwards Ranch. Dave played baseball on the Ames Team, and was also a member of the Pleasant Valley Church, the Wall Lake Hunting Club, the Hand county Livestock and Crop Improvement Association, and the Hand County Weed Board and as the Pleasant Valley Township Clerk. Dave loved his family, farming and his community - especially his Sunday afternoon "tours." Pheasant hunting season with family and friends was his special joy. Dave loved searching for morel mushrooms and picking the first spring crocuses for wife Babe and for neighborhood shut-ins. Dave also took great joy in watching his grandchildren play softball. His unique sense of humor will be missed by all. He is survived by his wife, Babe; a son; Doug (Jane) of Miller; a daughter-in-law, Kim of Miller; two grandchildren: Tanya of Carver, MN and Mike of Miller; one brother, Earl (Ida) of San Diego, CA; two sisters, Mary Melby (Mrs. Leland Wade) of Backus, MN, and Anita Thompson of St. Paul, MN; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Albert and Wayne; on sister, Ann Marlow; and a son, Danny.
