Aullnie Edward Colvin

Ed Colvin, 49, of Sedalia, MO, passed away on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at Research Medical Center in Kansas City, MO. Born on September 17, 1975, in Sedalia, Ed was the cherished son of Gene and Jo (Stout) Colvin, who reside in Sedalia.

Ed graduated from Smith-Cotton High School in 1993 and pursued further education at State Fair Community College. Following his studies, he joined his father in their family business, E.C. Construction, where he took pride in his work in construction and landscaping.

A lover of the outdoors, Ed found joy in fishing, hunting, and camping. He had a generous spirit and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. He loved sharing stories, especially about fishing adventures with his daughters or the proud moments when his sons bagged impressive deer. A dedicated volunteer, Ed gave his time to the Sedalia Community Cafe and attended LifePointe Church, where he was baptized nine years ago by Pastor Rusty Thomas.

Ed's memory will live on through his five children: Andrew Colvin of Belton, MO; Audry Colvin, Molly Colvin, and Adam Colvin, all of Lee's Summit, MO; and Michael Burgess of Sedalia. He is also survived by his beloved Aunt Georgia Pedego, his best friend in life, along with numerous cousins and dear friends.

Ed was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Bud and Marty Stout and Geneva Ford Stout; his paternal grandparents, Aullnie and Martha Colvin; and his sister, Rebecca "Muffy" Colvin.

A graveside service to celebrate Ed's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. January 3, 2025, at Highland Sacred Gardens, officiated by Jack Jones.

Honorary pallbearers include Zach Denny, Scott Smith, Brian Altis, Josuah Collins, Brandon Vogel, Danny Hayworth, Billy Reesa, and Terry Doyle.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the Sedalia Animal Shelter, in care of Rea Funeral Chapel.

Ed's warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for his family and community will be deeply missed.
