At his request, no services will be held for Edward Miles Katen, age 61, of Glenrock, WY.
Ed did not request a specific memorial, but they can be made to a chosen charity in his name.
Ed passed away at home in the arms of his family on December 14, 2018. He was born on February 26, 1957 in Alliance, NE to Emmett and Joan (Perkins) Katen. He graduated from Chadron High School in 1975. Some of his fondest memories were of his football and basketball teammates and his many friends. He met the love of his life, Peggy Chesbro, in English class when they were in ninth grade at Chadron Middle School. They were married in 1979. After graduating from Chadron State College in 1980, Ed moved his family to Glenrock, WY where he taught Industrial Technology at Glenrock High School for 31 years. He also taught Driver's Education and coached girls’ basketball. He retired in 2011 for health reasons.
Ed was a compassionate, humble man who was wholly devoted to his family. His second love was his Nebraska Cornhuskers Football. All who knew him, knew he could quote stats from any year, good or bad.
