Pastor Edward Mohr

Pastor Edward Mohr went to be with his Lord and savior on Tuesday September 11, 2012 after being struck from behind by a motor vehicle while riding his bicycle. He was a Supervisor at Kelsey Hayes when he retired after 30 years of service. Following his retirement, he and his youngest son, James Mohr, started a computer business together. While a member of Trinity United Methodist church in Jackson, Michigan he received his call into ministry. His first appointment as a United Methodist pastor was a three-point charge at Camden UMC, Montgomery UMC and Stokes Chapel, where he served for six years. He was then appointed to a two-point charge at Gobles UMC, and Kendall UMC where he served two years. He was an avid golfer and bowler , even bowling a 300 (perfect game), and working on computers. He loved serving the Lord by his gift of singing, ministering to his flock, providing computer work for various churches throughout the Albion and Kalamazoo districts of the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist church. His personal mission was to help provide support to the Haiti nation by bicycling in a yearly Ride for Haiti. Edward was preceded in death by his previous wife Shirley Mohr, younger brother Michael Mohr and step-daughter Shelly Crossett . He was survived by his wife Phyllis Mohr, two sons Lonnie (Janice) Mohr and James (Tammy) Mohr, daughter Lori (John) Ledbetter, two step-sons Chris (Carmon) Yeloushan and Dave Yeloushan, three step-daughters Cathy Yeloushan, Rev. Cindi Veillux, and Linda Harrell; fifteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; two brothers Allen Mohr and Robert “Sparky” (Joan) Mohr and one sister Donna Wells; and various nieces and nephews. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to all of the outpouring support and heart-felt prayers we have received throughout the local community, church, family, and friends. The family will meet friends on Thursday from 6-8 PM at the Gobles United Methodist Church, where funeral services will be held Friday at 1 PM, officiating will be Rev. Neil Davis, Rev. Don Harkey and Rev. Cynthia Veilleux. Memorial contributions may be made to the family. Arrangements by GOBLES CHAPEL, D. L. Miller Funeral Home, www.dlmillerfuneralhome.com
