Edward Duane Calvert, 59, died Aug. 28, 2007, at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper after a brief, but courageous, battle with cancer.
He was born Oct. 19, 1947, to Charles Calvert and Helen Luers Calvert in Lander. In 1957 his father "Chuck" became a game warden for the Wyoming Game and Fish, Department and the family moved from Riverton to Shoshoni where, in the fifth grade, he met the love of his life and future wife, Rubydee Bebout.
He excelled in sports at Shoshoni High School, was elected Student Body President and was Salutatorian of his graduating class in 1966. In spring 1969 he married Ruby in Riverton. Ed graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1971 with a degree in electrical engineering.
Upon graduation he was hired by Pacific Power & Light as a substation design engineer and moved to Portland, Ore., with his wife and young son Chad. PP&L transferred Ed to Casper in 1974 and the family lived there until 1978.
He then moved to Riverton where he spent the rest of his life. His love of the outdoors guided his career choices. He worked as an independent land man, in the mining business with Nupec Resources, and finally in the oil and gas industry where he was vice president/partner of Nucor Oil and Gas until his death.
He enjoyed golf, travel, fishing, skiing and spending time with family and friends. He had many friends in the Cody area.
His most beloved hobby was being a devoted father to his children and their pursuits. Aside from sharing his love for wildlife and the outdoors, he also became a coach of many activities for his three children. He coached baseball, soccer, Odyssey of the Mind projects, and was always involved when it was time to build projects for school or work on his kids' many vehicles.
He was involved in Riverton Youth Soccer, organizing the first state tournament for soccer in Riverton, and was a spokesman for sanctioning soccer as a high school sport in Wyoming. He was committed to his wife, family and friends, and was never too busy to lend a hand to someone in need.
He is survived by his wife Ruby of Riverton, daughter Kara, sons Chad and Chris, brother Gene Calvert (Teresa) of Naples, Fla., sister Betty (Mike) Besson of Cheyenne and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, mother and her husband Tom Weisz.
Funeral services were Aug. 31 at the Methodist Church in Riverton.
