In Memoriam

Judge Jimmie C. Edwards III

1948 – 2026

A decorated United States Marine, combat veteran of Vietnam, Texas legislator, and Montgomery County Judge, Jimmie C. Edwards III devoted his life to his country and his community. Wounded in action while serving with the 1st Marine Division, he returned home with the Purple Heart and Bronze Star with Valor and never stopped serving. He went on to represent his neighbors in the Texas House of Representatives, serve as County Judge, and spend his later years building the Montgomery County Veterans Memorial Park as a permanent tribute to those who wore the uniform.
