Jodie Edgar Bassett
Jodie Edgar Bassett passed away Saturday morning, April 15, 2023, due to sudden cancer complications. Born in Devine, Texas, to his late parents, Ollie and Anne Bassett. He was raised with his older sister, Carolyn, his older brother (and partner-in-crime) Ronnie, and his late younger sister, Jennifer. He attended Devine High and played quarterback for the Warhorses. He earned his degree in Pharmacy from the University of Texas at Austin.
Jodie wanted to become a pharmacist for two famous reasons-because he wanted to help people and be able to support a family in the country. By the grace of God, he achieved both. In 1988, he took a position as a pharmacist at Walmart, and moved his young family to a small farm just outside the city of Boerne. There he served the community as a pharmacist for 31 years.
Jodie was a devoted husband, a caring father, a beloved grandfather, and a skilled farmer. But the most prominent feature of his life was his faith in Jesus Christ. It animated every area of his life: his kindness and attentiveness to customers, his generosity (especially his habit of giving away his garden produce and milk and homemade cheese from the dairy cow free of charge), and his gift of hospitality, exemplified by the frequent hayrides he and his wife hosted at the farm. Jodie loved his Savior, and he lived his life to bring Him glory. That example will not be forgotten.
He is survived by Debbie, his wife of 42 years, as well as his four children-Philip (wife Christine), Joel, Jonathan (wife Elizabeth), and Rachel. He was also blessed with four spirited, beloved grandchildren: Naomi (12), Leif (10), Penelope (7), and Edmund (5), who all knew him as Papa.
In lieu of flowers, his wife and family would like any donations to be made to the Wendy Ramsey CLL & Richter's Research Fund (in partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) at https://www.wendyramseyrichtersresearchfund.com/.
A funeral service will be held on April 21, 2023, 10:00 a.m. at Ebensberger Fisher Funeral Home in Boerne. His viewing will begin at 9 a.m. with a private burial service to follow at Boerne City Cemetery. To leave condolences for the family, please visit www.ebensberger-fisher.com.
