William J. Ogden—an Edgewater chef, artist and former art director—passed away suddenly but peacefully at home Oct. 31. He was 50.

Ogden was the beloved life partner of Franke Colley, and the loving father of Jeffrey and Lindsey Ogden. In addition, he was the cherished son of Carole Ogden and William C. Ogden; dearest brother of Bonnie (Alton Duderstadt) Ogden; and former spouse and dearest friend of Nancy Ogden.

He will always be in our hearts.
