Edgar A. Kelly

Edgar A “Ned” Kelly passed away in Tucson, Arizona on September 2, 2025. Ned was a devoted father, a tremendous friend and a loving family member. Ned’s passing is a true loss to anyone and everyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him. Ned worked at Gables Engineering, Inc. for over 32 years. Ned’s intelligence, sense of humor, loyalty and professionalism made him a valued employee and a treasured colleague. Ned was frugal with praise but not with love and would debate you until you agreed with him or gave up. He was an avid reader and history buff, a mixed martial arts enthusiast, and was kind and compassionate. Ned was born in Miami, Florida where he resided for much of his life. He lived in San Antonio, Texas for several years and worked at Hagee Ministries and Global Evangelism Television. After retiring last September, Ned moved to Tucson, Arizona and was a member of the Fountain of Life Lutheran Church and was volunteering at the Haven Totes food pantry. He was predeceased by his beloved daughter Jennifer and is survived by his son John also of Tucson, Arizona who he adored and was his best friend.
