The chief financial officer and senior vice president at Rady Children’s Hospital was struck and killed as he rode his bicycle in Torrey Highlands the afternoon of June 14.
Roger Gerard Roux, 64, was hit as he was bicycling in the 14200 block of Camino del Sur, near state Route 56. The driver, a 40-year-old woman whose name was withheld, was heading south on Camino del Sur when she crossed into the bicycle lane and struck Roux. The traffic division is investigating.
Roux, a Boston native, was responsible for all financial facets of the Serra Mesa-area children’s medical center. A spokesman said that in his 12-year tenure, Roux had brought the hospital to its strongest fiscal position in its 60-year history.
Rady Children’s Hospital maintains an emergency neonatal center in La Jolla. Roux is survived by his wife Diane, son Matthew and grandchildren Emerson and Xavier.
