Obituary: Jedidiah B. Roesler, 28, of Meriden

From Wallingford Funeral Home

Jedidiah B. Roesler, 28, of Meriden, passed from this life on Monday, June 26, 2017 after a long battle with depression and anxiety. He was born in Meriden, October 8, 1988, a much loved son of Karen Roesler of Meriden and the late Edward B. Roesler.

Jed’s favorite times were spent fishing, painting, listening and playing music, enjoying playtime with his nieces and hanging with his great group of friends.

Family was extremely important to Jed and besides by his mother, he will be greatly missed by siblings, Richard Myers, Anne Roesler, Edward Roesler and his wife Erin, and Damian Roesler. In addition, his nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins all meant the world to him and he to them.

Jed’s easy smile combined with his intelligence, creativity, and sensitivity made him a welcome presence in any gathering. He was happiest when around friends and family where his lively and zany ideas brought entertainment and laughter to others.

In lieu of flowers, gifts in his memory may be sent to the JED Foundation, www.jedfoundation.org, a national nonprofit that exists to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for our nation’s teens and young adults.
