Edward “Ed” Creech Durham, age 69, of Yosemite, passed away on Monday, April 13, 2026, at his home.

Born on May 4, 1956, to parents Kenneth and Matrie Durham.  He attended Casey County High School before going to work at American Greetings, where he retired in 2021, after 47 years.  While there, Ed met the love of his life, Mary, and the two were married on August 9, 2002.

Ed was a man of faith who loved the Lord and was a proud member of Mount Calvary Baptist Church. Though he loved spending time outdoors, Ed’s favorite role was as a parent, grandparent and recently a great-grandparent. He treasured his time with his family and loved being “Dad” to his children and “Poppy” to his grandchildren.  Ed was adored by his community but was especially adored by children and animals.  Ed’s warmth and kindness will be deeply missed.

Ed is survived by his wife, Mary; his children, Shane Durham, Dakota Singleton and Emily Bailey (and Shane); his grandchildren, MacKenzie, Chloe and Levi; his great-grandchild, Zayonah; his brother, Kenny (and Debbie); his sister-in-law, Pam Durham; and his brother-in-law, Mike Brown.
