Edward Allen Schauer

Edward Allen Schauer, 56, of Grafton, ND, died unexpectedly September 17, 2011 at the Developmental Center in Grafton. He had been a resident there since the age of 5. Edward was born January 6, 1955 to William and Helen (Enerson) Schauer, in Grand Forks, ND. Ed had a job at the Development Center for the last few years delivering mail. Within the last 1-2 years, he was having difficulty ambulating, so was in a wheel-chair much of the time. Even though Ed had his family in Grand Forks, he leaves behind many friends, suitemates, caregivers, and special care-giver and friend, Kandace Lamont. Ed considered the Development Center home, and had gained many abilities over the years that he resided there. Edward enjoyed car rides, being in the outdoors, listening to music, sitting in a big comfy chair, and he especially loved to eat. Surviving Ed is his mother, Helen of Grand Forks; sisters, Bonnie (Don) Bell of Arizona City, AZ, Edie (Ron) Impson of Selah, WA, Kay (Don) Sadler of Yakima, WA, Cindy Rennie of Grand Forks, Brenda Bennett of Woodland, WA; Carol Schauer of Middletown, OH, Debbie DuVall of Grand Forks; brother, William Jr. (Barbara) Schauer of Grand Forks and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, William and his grandparents. The Schauer family wishes to express their thanks to all of the Development Center staff, caregivers, and anyone we may have forgotten, for the many years of good care Ed received.
