Edward B. Mosser

April 24, 1951-Sept. 5, 2021

Edward Mosser, 70,

Minot, ND, passed away

Sunday, September 5,

2021, in a Minot Hospital.

Edward’s parents,

Wendelin and Margaret

(Elm) Mosser, welcomed a

new life on April 24, 1951

and so his earthly journey

began. The family lived

on a farm near Sawyer,

ND, where he would at-

tend school until Junior

High when the family

moved to Minot. He gra-

duated from Minot High

in 1970. He worked

throughout his high

school years whether it

was being a fry cook,

packing for a moving

company, or construction,

he took great pride in

each and every job he did.

Edward met and mar-

ried Brenda (Keller) in

1973. For the first year

they lived in Towner, ND,

where Ed was employed

by Winger Cheese as a

truck driver. In 1974, Ed

and Brenda moved to

Minot where he was em-

ployed by Feist Const.

When the time came to

start a family, they were

blessed with two children,

Nichole and Chad. Short-

ly after, Ed went to work

at Craft Bldrs. and in

1979, the family moved to

Surrey, ND where they

would live for the next 39

years. In 1987, Ed landed

a position at Milton

Young Towers and

worked there for 30 years

until he retired. He en-

joyed the last job place-

ment tremendously as the

staff, and especially the

tenants, were like a close

knit family. He would

often go there on his days

off just to “hangout.”

We frequently remin-

isced about jobs in con-

struction where, in the

winter, he would come

home with icicles still

hanging on his beard from

working out in the bitter

cold. How times have

changed! This was just

one example of how Ed-

ward cared, loved, and

provided for his family,

no matter what.

His son, Chad, intro-

duced him to the game of

golf and he would spend

any free time he had on

the golf course. Ed would

pass the love of the sport

on to his grandson, Jace,

and it was some of the

best times of their lives,

playing golf, bonding and

hanging out on the

course.

Unfortunately, Ed was

diagnosed with MS in

2014 and his golf time on

the course would be shor-

tened. Even though he

could no longer golf, he

would enjoy riding along

in the golf cart. Edward

also enjoyed times with

friends playing pinochle

on weekends into the wee

hours of the morning.

He so loved his family

and when he became a

grandpa, that was a mile-

stone in his life. His

granddaughters, Brooklyn

& Brenley, would enjoy

watching his facial ex-

pressions and his shifty

eyebrows and just giggle

and say “do that again.”

When Nichole married

she brought into our fami-

ly 2 stepgrandsons, Jordan

& Cameron, and so this

completed his/our legacy.

Ed was a member of St.

Leo the Great Catholic

Church, Minot and the

4th Degree of the Knights

of Columbus.
