Edward Randal Weatherford

Edward Randal Weatherford, 67, of Montrose, Colorado, peacefully passed away at HopeWest Ferris Hospice Care Center in Grand Junction, Colorado, with his wife by his side on October 26, 2025.

Ed was a beloved husband, father, "camping grandpa" and devoted friend. Born in Downey, California, to Ralph Weatherford and Eleanor Vanderhoeven Weatherford, he graduated from San Diego State University.

Ed and Susan married in Breckenridge, Colorado, followed by photos taken in the rain at the base of Mount Quandary. The devoted couple relocated to Montrose in 2025 to pursue their dream of a slower-paced life filled with outdoor adventures, dispersed camping in their RV "Shadow," and fly fishing with flies Ed tied himself.

Ed originally moved from California to Colorado Springs with his first wife, Julia (Coventry), where they raised their two children, Kristen and Bryce. He later lived in Highlands Ranch for many years, where he worked in sales and eventually retired as owner of a successful window coverings business.

Ed is survived by his wife, Susan, of Montrose; children Kristen Weatherford of Albany, Oregon, and Bryce Weatherford with his wife Hannah, and three grandchildren, Finn, Bode, and Annie Weatherford of Centennial, Colorado; a brother, James (Pam) Weatherford of Carlsbad, California; a sister, Linda McDonald (Brian) of Castle Rock, Colorado; nieces Julie (Robert) Parent of Larkspur, Colorado, and Katie Gomez of Carlsbad, California; nephew Geoff (Debbie) Anderson of Castle Rock, Colorado.

Ed was preceded in death by his parents Ralph and Eleanor Weatherford, and spouse, Laura French Weatherford.
