God needed another Marine, so he called Roger Edwards home on October 31, 2011. Roger passed surrounded by those he loved: His wife Jean, his children and their loved ones Ray (Dede), Bruce (Joyce), Bonnie (Mark), Barry and Brian (Leta). A native of St Paul, MN, Edwards, 87, was a World War II veteran, a financial advisor and real estate broker, a beloved husband, father and grandfather to his grandchildren Braxton, Brittney, Darren, Brandon, Laurie, Aleina, Olivia, Cole, Maddy and Taylor, and his great-grandchildren Carson and Carolyn. A mentor and friend to many, he helped all of us to find our way; he will be missed but never forgotten. To share your memories and celebrate his life, please join the family at noon on Thursday, November 3, 2011, at Roger's Citrus Heights home. Semper Fi.
Arrangements under the direction of Mount Vernon Memorial Park & Mortuary, Fair Oaks, CA.
