Edward Jedd Roe Jr.

Edward Jedd Roe Jr. 9/14/1932 - 3/20/2011 After a long and valiant battle, our beloved golfing, cowboy succumbed to lung cancer on the first day of Spring. Jedd is survived by his devoted wife of twenty years, Leslie and his adoring step-children, Kristin Cashin of Menlo Park, CA,, David Cashin of Tucson, AZ and John and Kim Cashin and their nine month old son Connor of Portola Valley, Ca. He is also survived by his dear sister, Nancy of Encino, CA; his brother and sister-in-law, John Hughes and Carol Fontana of Prescott, AZ, many friends and relatives. His loyal labs, Lily and River will miss him terribly. Born in San Antonio to a pioneering family, Jedd led an adventurous life. He attended Exeter, graduated from Williams College, was a proud pilot in the USAF, had a successful career on Wall Street, developed a Marina on Tortola, BVI, and for most of his life was a dedicated, nature loving rancher. After retirement, Jedd and Leslie lived in Annapolis, Maryland for many happy years. They enjoyed an active life with many new and precious friends. They sponsored a midshipman at the Naval Academy, Matt Moberely, who became another son to them. Jedd fished, boated, enjoyed Navy football and drove Meals On Wheels for years. In 2004, Jedd gave up shoveling snow and mowing grass and they moved to Tucson. Tucson brought new friends and sunshine. Jedd loved playing golf with his family, friends and the "Wednesday Group" at TCC. He was also an avid Arizona Wildcat Basketball fan. There are no words to describe how much we will miss his love, strength, humor and genuine goodness. Sunday morning breakfast will never be the same. He will be laid to rest in San Antonio. Bob Pelrine of Annapolis, Md, his good friend, will officiate. May he rest in peace. Remembrances may be made to Mobile Meals of Tucson or the Salvation Army.
