Edward Lee Requardt, 91, of Beasley, Texas, was called home to be with our Lord on October 24, 2022. Edward Lee was born July 19, 1931 to Henry and Caroline (Roehe) Requardt in Beasley, Texas.

Edward Lee married the love of his life, Rosie Christine Pate, on June 10, 1955. Their love grew stronger each day of their sixty-seven year marriage. During their marriage, they had three children, Denise, Ricky, and Tammy. He was very involved in their lives teaching them how to build, draw, camp, and to be loving caring individuals. He was a fun and playful grandfather and great grandfather who not only enjoyed playing with the children, he took pride in watching them grow, learn and being one of their biggest supporters in all of their activities such as sports, band and choir. His family was the most important part of his life.

Edward Lee proudly served in the Navy as a Seaman for four years from 1950 to 1954. During his time of service, he fought in the Korean Conflict, now known as the Korean War. After moving back to Beasley in 1995, he joined the Needville American Legion Post 350 where he was a lifetime member.

During the early 70's, Edward Lee became a scout leader for Boy Scout Troop 276. Under his leadership, Troop 276 became the #1 Troop in the Bay Area Council for a few years running with the largest number of young men who earned the rank of Eagle Scout including his son Ricky.

Edward Lee spent most of his life as a master carpenter building beautiful cabinetry in homes. He taught his children the skills and his son Ricky continues his legacy to this day.
