February 20, 1944 — October 20, 2014
Hurter, Jr., Edward Louis, of St. Peters, Missouri, died on Monday, October 20, 2014 at the age of 70. Loving husband of Katrina K. Hurter (nee: Klaus); beloved son of the late Edward Louis Hurter, Sr. and Elfrieda Theresa Hurter; devoted father of Donovan (Deanna Cole) Hurter, Carrie Tasker, and Nancy (John) Frese; cherished grandfather of Luke and Natalie Hurter, Brent and Daniel Frese; dear brother of Craig Hurter.
Ed began his career with the U.S. Army as an infantryman serving at the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Honor Guard Company, Fort Meyer, and Arlington, Virginia. Ed also served as a military policeman in South Korea, Dominican Republic, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Upon leaving the military Ed joined the Missouri State Highway Patrol as a trooper serving in Jefferson County Missouri. Ed went on to successful business careers in insurance investigations, rent-to-own business and Famous Barr legal department. In between business careers Ed served as a correction officer at the state prison in Pacific, Missouri.
Ed was married to Katrina K. Klaus for over 40 years. During that time they had 3 children, Donovan Elliott, Twin girls, Carrie-Jean and Nancy-Lynn. Ed also had 4 grandchildren, Luke, Natalie, Brent and Daniel. Ed was a teacher, a mentor, a motivator in whatever career he was following. He knew that success was not limited to a select few but to all who were willing to strive for it. Ed's favorite quote was from General George Patton, 'Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of achievement.'
Most loved by Ed was God whom he found after 32 years of searching. Christian Science found him and brought him up from the depths of false beliefs to the knowledge of spiritual facts. Ed shared his understanding with anyone wanting a better life than matter could afford. He served over 12 years as a prison chaplain visiting inmates at correctional center in Missouri. Ed also was a police chaplain giving comfort and confidence to our first responders. He also could be found ministering to our veterans a the VA Drug Court.
Memorials may be made to Wounded Warriors Project.
