Edwin Robin Haskovec

Edwin Robin Haskovec, 69, a beloved friend known for his gentle spirit and generous heart, passed away on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at his home in Temple, Texas. 

Born on October 6, 1954, in Temple, Edwin spent his formative years on the family farm, where he developed a deep appreciation for nature and a profound love for animals.

Edwin embarked on a unique career as a harvester, specializing in raising bees and producing honey. His passion for beekeeping was complemented by an array of hobbies and interests that showcased his vibrant personality. A devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he proudly displayed their memorabilia throughout his home. He also had a keen interest in fast cars, particularly his Challenger, and engaged in collecting various items, including antiques and memorabilia related to Marilyn Monroe. Music was a significant part of his life, providing joy and inspiration.

Known for his overgiving nature, Edwin often opened his home to travelers and friends, a testament to his kindheartedness. He enjoyed sharing stories about his parents, Mr. Edwin Hubert Haskovec and Kathryn Spurlock Haskovec, who preceded him in death and were sources of immense pride and love in his life. Edwin's character was defined by a fun-loving and sentimental demeanor, which endeared him to many.

Throughout his life, Edwin raised over 67 dobermans, a reflection of his affection for animals. His two beloved dobermans, Trooper and Diamond, were constant companions, and he cherished their presence until his passing.

Edwin’s education culminated in a high school diploma, but his real learning came from his rich life experiences. He embraced a hippy lifestyle, expressing a strong sense of unity with all living beings and a profound love for his Lord and Savior.

He is survived by a host of friends and his cherished dobermans, Trooper and Diamond, who will continue to carry forward the legacy of love and kindness he instilled in those around him. Edwin Robin Haskovec will be remembered for his unique contributions to the world and the warmth he brought into the lives of those fortunate enough to know him.
