Edgar Rasey


Edgar Rasey, 94 of York Center, died early Monday morning, April 25, 2022 at Memorial Hospital of Union County.

He was born October 7, 1927 in Marion to the late Harvey and Clara Ruth (Scheltch) Rasey. He was also preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Gladie (Alsept) Rasey who died August 21, 2019; two sons, Clarence “Buzz” Rasey, Eddie Rasey; three brothers, Harvey Rasey, Jr., Robert Rasey, Cecil Rasey; and a daughter-in-law Vonda Sue Rasey.

Edgar lived to fish and hunt. He enjoyed spending time at his cabins in Michigan and house at Indian Lake. He wanted to make sure that anyone who enjoyed hunting and fishing had access to his properties and would share tips and teach them in any way he could. His main focus was always his wife, Gladie. They were married for over 70 years and were inseparable until she passed away in 2019. He was a retired lineman for Ohio Edison and a U.S. Army veteran. He had many hobbies including wood working, gardening and making his own fish flies. He was always willing to help anyone in any way he could and was never afraid to say exactly what was on his mind. He was the person everyone went to for everything and he could fix anything.

He is survived by a son, Larry Rasey, York Center; a daughter-in-law, Cindy Rasey, Marion; 4 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.
