Remembering Ed Waggener: A passion for journalism

By Amy Pike

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Ed. He was a journalistic icon, a visionary, and a pillar of this community. I had the pleasure of speaking with Ed a few weeks ago and as always thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. He was a very intelligent man and could debate any topic or be the devil's advocate to provoke thoughts and comments from his readers.

I often felt as if he nor Linda ever slept because they were always on top of any news story that related to Columbia both day and night. I visit the Columbia Magazine website numerous times a day and could always count on it being up to date with anything that was happening in our community.

Ed's passion for journalism showed daily in his writings and news reports.


Columbia will not be the same without him. My thoughts and prayers are with Linda, Pen, Tom and the family during their time of loss and grief. There will certainly never be another Ed Waggener and he will not be forgotten. Godspeed, friend! --Amy
