Edwin A. Wicklund

Edwin was born in Norway on June 22, 1937, son of the late John and Ann (Bachman) Wicklund. On Oct. 23, 1965, he married Carol (Spigarelli) Wicklund, sharing 50 years together before she preceded him in death on Aug. 4, 2016.

Edwin enlisted with the U.S. Navy in January 1956, serving nearly two years before he was honorably discharged in November of 1957.

I saw my Dad drive his truck in the ditch

His crabby mood could rival a witch

But his soft side was found

With his grandkids around

We’ll Miss you, you old son of a gun

He was one heck of a bowler.

Edwin will be missed by his sons, Eddie Joe (Faith) Wicklund, Stevie (Rinda) Wicklund, and Eric (Amanda) Wicklund; grandchildren Patrick Wicklund (Tarissa Host), Reina (Isaac) Jenkins, Danielle (Josh) Spackman, Taylor Wicklund, and Max (Kylie) Wicklund; great-grandchildren Russell Spackman, Ruby Jenkins, Mack Spackman, and another new Jenkins on the way; and many other family and friends.

Per Edwin’s wishes, a private burial will be held in Iron Mountain Cemetery Park.
