OVERBROOK — Edward “Ed” Lee Pate, 81, died Sunday, July 4, 2021, at his home near Overbrook.
He was born Dec. 4, 1939, the son of Claude R. and Susie Adelle (Wilson) Pate. He graduated from Protection High School, Protection, in 1957. After high school, he attended Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina.
Ed joined the United States Air Force Jan. 5, 1961, where he served his country for over 24 years, retiring April 24, 1985, at Forbes Field Air Base, Topeka. He was an Aeromedical Specialist and earned the rank of Chief Master Sergeant (E-9).

Ed spent most of his retirement helping Socorro own and operate the Pepper Patch Mexican Restaurant, Carbondale, and the Happy Trails Antique Shop, Scranton.
He enjoyed reading Louis L’Amour books and always dreamed of traveling the beautiful landscape of the high mountains in Montana. Most of all, he loved spending time with his grandchildren, especially when it came to bringing all kinds of different animals around for his family’s enjoyment.
