Edgar Allen Klug, was wrapped in the arms of Jesus on December 24, 2010. He was born October 28, 1955.

He is preceded in death by his father and mother Harold and Shirley Klug. Visitation will be held at Schertz Funeral Home Wednesday from 5-8 pm. His home going service will be Thursday at 10:00 am at The Country Church in Marion, TX. Edgar graduated from Judson High School in 1974. After graduation he attended Texas A&M Firefighter Training Academy receiving his firefighter certification and worked as a firefighter/first responder for Kirby Fire Department and City of Terrell Hills Fire Department for more than 15 years. During that time on his days off he began doing home repairs and small construction services to supplement his family income and just because he enjoyed this type of work. For many years after the fire department he worked for his uncle as a pest control exterminator and later for his father-in-law in the family glass glazier business. At one time, he had his own home repair and small construction business which he began with a good friend, Pat Clor, until the economy again took him in another direction. He began selling cars and did that for many years and different dealerships; this is where he rekindled a friendship with Don Phillips and they later became the best of friends. For a small time he worked with a water well drilling company until they went out of business; this allowed him the experience to later get a job with the City of Universal City Water Department. In between that time he worked as a manager for the Wash Tub until the death of his father. His last employment was for Comal County Recycling Department, where he was able to work with another very good friend, James Tart. He and Delanie were married August 20, 1977 in St. Hedwig, Texas and moved to Marion at a small trailer house on FM 78 right across the street from the Hild Brothers grain bins. They started their family about two years later with the birth of their daughter Sharee Lynn on September 25, 1979 and their son Jason Edward on February 4, 1982. Shortly after Jason's birth they moved onto a piece of land given to them by his grandmother, Frieda Hehs, on Hackerville Road in Cibolo. Many years later they moved into the family farm house to help out his grandfather who then passed away a couple of years later. He loved this house and resided there still. Edgar's greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends, wife, children and his beautiful granddaughter. We often teased him about all the time he spent at Helping Hand visiting his cousin Karen and everyone there. It did not take much for him to strike up a conversation with anybody, whether it be a friend or a stranger. He loved reminiscing old times with anybody that would listen. We have teased since he has been gone that we have lost our human history book. He remembered people, dates, and events very vividly. He was a very good speller and Sharee will miss the spelling wars they would have with each other. He loved working around the farm and keeping the place as well groomed as one man could and he loved growing a vegetable garden and sharing the abundance with everyone. He and Delanie loved making pickles together and always enjoyed the time they spent, early on, with their children doing this. Some of the best years with his children were raising animals for their 4H projects. This was something he did in high school and could share this knowledge with his children. Everyone that knew him knew that all they had to do was ask and he was there willing to help you out. Many times he offered his services without being asked, it was just his nature. He so enjoyed the yearly opening dove season weekend, when family and friends would gather at the house for a weekend of hunting, food and fun. The weekends prior to this weekend were spent with his son and friends cleaning up around the place. This was their way of paying for the privilege of hunting for free and although there was "some" bickering he was always grateful for the hard work they did and the final outcome. Later in life he found his love for the Lord and these years have been the best times he and his wife have spent together. The good friends they have made associated with the churches they have attended are some of the greatest people and he was blessed to have known each and every one of them. He enjoyed his service with this church as an usher, it was something he was so comfortable doing. He called his children daily and they will miss talking to him every day. We can only pray his Cassy will remember picking up pecans with her Paw Paw. His wife will miss the role he played in her life. He was her friend, companion, protector and caretaker. He made her laugh and yes he made her cry at times, but she loved him always.
