Obituary for Jonathan Ridgway “Ridge” Fell II August 24, 1957 – March 1, 2026 With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing Jonathan Ridgway “Ridge” Fell II, on Sunday March 1st, after a prolonged battle with cancer. He maintained his sense of humor until the end, and was looking forward to beginning his next adventure. Ridge was born in Princeton NJ in 1957, to Armand London Fell and Dorothy Cheney Fell. He attended Princeton Day School, The Pomfret School, The Lawrenceville School, Episcopal High School, and Trinity Pawling School. Having decided that was entirely enough school for him, he travelled west and worked for a time in Texas and California. Upon his return to New Jersey, he started his career at Cheney Flashing Company in Trenton NJ, working alongside his mother Dorothy and uncle Fred Short. The company was originally founded by his maternal grandfather Alan Cheney. Upon his mother’s death in 1985, Ridge took over as President of the company. He remained in that role until the company’s sale in 2005. During his years in Princeton he became an avid golfer as a member at Springdale Golf Club. He enjoyed travelling, throwing parties, and dining out at restaurants in Princeton, Trenton, Philadelphia and New York. He also developed a fondness for Harley Davidson motorcycles. Ridge relocated to Fairhope, AL in 2005. He spent time in roofing sales, and watching his beloved daughters grow up. He made many friends and greatly enjoyed spending time at the American Legion. He never gave up his deep love of all things Philly sports, and watching the Eagles win the Superbowl in 2025 brought him great joy! He will always be remembered for his generosity, infectious laugh, love of great food (and drink), very questionable fashion choices and epic dance moves. Ridge was predeceased by his father Armand Fell, his mother Dorothy Fell, and his sister Gretchen Sachse (Wolfgang). He is survived by his brother Armand “Joe” Fell Jr. (Sophia), his sister Gail Canzano (Timothy Otte), and his pride and joy, daughters Sallie London Fell and Charlotte Lucilla Fell, as well as many nieces, nephews and treasured friends. A celebration of his life will be held at the American Legion, in Fairhope Alabama in May. The date will be announced when final. We ask that you keep his daughters in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
