Edwin Hyatt Patton age 89, born March 8, 1933, went peacefully to Heaven on December 28, 2022 at his residence on West Deep Creek, with his loved ones gathered by his bedside. He was the son of the late Thomas Patton and Ethel Hyatt Ashe. He was predeceased by his step brother Robert Ashe and a sister-in-law Jo-Ann Marr Smith. Edwin was a Christian and loved being a member at Brush Creek Baptist Church where he was the church pianist. He also served as church clerk and treasurer for 12 years. Edwin proudly served his country for three years in the US Army. He received a BS degree in business from Blanton’s Business College and a MS degree from Western Carolina University in business education. He taught in five different schools over 12 years which included: Florida, Hayesville, Montgomery County, NC, Clarksville, Ga, and the Juvenile Center in Swannanoa NC. He then opened his own tax service business which he owned and operated until he retired. Edwin had a genuine love for Bluegrass music and old cars. He often attended Bluegrass festivals in the summer at Cherokee. His other enjoyment was spending hours making his red Maverick and black Torino vehicles shine.
