It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Myles Jewett, Jr., on May 29, 2026.

A loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and uncle, Ed was born on August 21, 1943, to Edward Myles Jewett, Sr., and Shirley Hayes at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Ed was a graduate of The Boston Latin School and Northeastern University with a BS in Mechanical Engineering, where he joined ROTC and the prestigious Pershing Rifles Drill Squad. From there, he went on to proudly serve as a Captain in the United States Army from 1967 to 1970

Ed married his childhood sweetheart, Jean Margaret Jewett, nee Whippen (died 1986), in 1966. They had three children. Eddie, Michael, and Lisa, whom they loved dearly. Upon returning from military service in Baumholder, Germany, Ed was hired and started his career with Mobil Oil, serving as Maintenance and Safety Supervisor, steadfastly overseeing their pipeline, refining, and bottling operations for 30+ years.

A true lover of anything automobile-related, Ed enjoyed working on the family cars and boat, and once owned a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (Nassau blue). He was also an avid fan of NASCAR and loved snow skiing and water skiing. In short, Ed loved “speed and anything that went fast”.

Ed remarried in 2001 to his partner of over 40 years, Claire MacDonald, originally from Malden, MA. Ed and Claire were longtime residents of Marblehead, MA.

Along with Jean, Ed is predeceased by his parents, Edward Sr. and Shirley; his sister, Jane; and his granddaughter, Danika.

Ed is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Claire MacDonald, his three children, Edward M. Jewett III, Michael Jewett (his wife, Elaine Jewett), and Lisa Shick, nee Jewett, and his three grandchildren, Jorgia Shick, Ronan Jewett, and Simon Jewett. And his dear poodle rescue, George

Ed will be dearly missed.
