Edward M. Evernham, 76, of Brooklyn Park, MN, formerly of Fargo, ND, died on November 23, 2019, at Encore Memory Care, Champlin, MN, under the loving care of the Ecumen Hospice team.

Ed was born on October 8, 1943, to William and Cora (Overby) Evernham in Fargo, ND, and grew up on “Old Trail Gardens” vegetable farm in Moorhead, MN. He graduated from Moorhead State Teachers Campus School and completed a program for mechanics at North Dakota State School of Science. He served in the US Army from 1963 to 1966. A Vietnam Veteran, he was stationed in both Thailand and Vietnam. After his service, he returned to the Fargo–Moorhead area where he met his future wife, Cyndy Woehl. They were married on April 6, 1968 and had two daughters, Erin and Cristen.

A career salesman, he sold many different products but spent the majority of his career in the wholesale lawn and garden supply industry. Ed’s work brought his family to Brooklyn Park, MN in 1990.

Ed was creative and skilled in many areas including landscaping and woodworking. He had a love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and tending to his gardens. He also spent time researching his family’s history, rock tumbling, and collecting various items (guns, swizzle sticks, and beer memorabilia). Ed was a loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, and friend and will be incredibly missed by his family.

Ed is survived by wife of 51 years, Cyndy; daughters, Erin (Robbie) Mack and Cristen (Brandon) Purdy; grandchildren, Cooper and Mason Mack and Everett and Cora Purdy; sister, Patricia (David) Odell; and many other loving relatives and friends.
