Charles Eugene Roe

Charles Eugene “Gene” Roe passed away peacefully in the loving care of his family on December 3, 2024, in San Antonio, TX. Born on October 14, 1957, in Glen Cove, NY, he is survived by his wife Tami, daughter Catherine, her husband Jake, their son Carter, and daughter Melanie and her boyfriend Hunter. He is preceded in death by his mother, Evelyn Dickson Roe, his father Charles Edward Roe, and his sister, Helen Jackson.

Gene is a graduate of Conroe High School and proud alumnus of Texas State University where he played golf and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. He furthered his education at The American College of Financial Services, obtaining a Masters of Science in Financial Services. Gene was a managing partner and business owner of Planto Roe Financial Services and later the founder and proprietor of Wesley Wealth Management, a firm based on Gene’s financial expertise and mission of service to others through philanthropic financial planning. His expertise and dedication to his clients’ needs were recognized through his attainment of several prestigious designations, including Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC), Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP), and Chartered Leadership Fellow (CLF), and Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU).

Gene's faith was a cornerstone of his life, and he was passionate about serving in local ministries. Faithful involvement in the Emmaus community was Gene’s catalyst to pursue ordination. He attended Asbury Theological Seminary and in 2018, he was ordained as United Methodist clergy, serving as a Deacon in the Rio Texas Conference. Gene was an active participant and clergy leader with Kairos Prison International Ministries, served as a board member of the First Tee of Greater San Antonio, and volunteered with various activities in the youth ministry at Coker Methodist Church. Gene always held particular reverence for John Wesley, whose work provided both a foundation for Gene’s spiritual life and subsequently the namesake for Wesley Wealth Management.

As the father of two daughters, Gene dedicated time to watching Melanie’s softball games and Catherine’s ballet recitals. He spent many nights after work teaching Melanie how to throw and pitch a softball (despite gaining many bruises) or work out math problems with Catherine. An avid golfer, Gene found joy and relaxation on the greens, a pastime he often shared with friends and loved ones. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family on Lake LBJ. He will be remembered for his timely sarcasm, great golf swing, devotion to the Texas State Bobcats, and Civil War historical knowledge.

Gene lived a full and generous life marked by dedication to the values and things he held dear: his family, faith, friends, clients, and service to his community. He leaves behind a legacy of love, leadership, and service that will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. His spirit is carried on by his family, friends and colleagues.
