He was born September 16, 1952, a son of the late Charles Arthur Medlen and Georganna Harris Medlen.

Edwin attended Canon-McMillan High School.

He worked for many years as a mechanic for Songer Corporation before suffering a workplace accident that left him disabled for the remainder of his life.

Edwin was a man of many interests. He loved to spend time outdoors hunting and fishing. His attention to detail made him a very skilled woodworker. He loved to relax by shooting pool, but most of all he loved to spend time singing karaoke with his grandson, Owen.

Edwin is preceded in death by a son, Johnathan Medlen; and six siblings, Mary Ann Medlen, Charleen (John) May, Chuck Medlen, Diana (Bill) Johnston, Cathren Lavon Medlen, and Donald Harold Medlen.
