Edward H. Feeley was born in Newcastle Wyo. on August 30, 1952. He peacefully passed away on October 31 in the presence of family at the home of his son in Casa Grande, Ariz. He dedicated his life to helping and mentoring youth. He shared his love for leather working while teaching the skill for 4-H and the Boy Scouts. He was also a foster parent of more than 50 children in need for the State of Wyoming for nearly two decades. A graduate of the University of Utah, he put his passion for botany and range conservation to use over a long and decorated career with the Soil Conservation Services, U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Above all, nothing was more important to him than family.
