We lost our beloved father and friend, Edward Reyes Amador. Edward (Eddie) graduated from Globe High School in 1962 and received his Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University in 1966. He was widowed in 2017 after fifty years of marriage to his beautiful wife, Yvonne Amador. Eddie leaves behind his two children Edward Amador Jr., Alisa Keeton, her husband Simon Keeton, and his two beloved grandchildren, Jack and Sophia.
Visitation will be held at 10:00 AM with A Funeral Service at 11:00 AM on Monday, September 28, 2020, at the Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. COVID-19 procedures are in place. Family and close friends are invited to attend the memorial service.
An open Burial for all to join will follow service at St. Francis Cemetery at 2033 North 48th Street in Phoenix. Condolences and Hugs from Home may be expressed at www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com.
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family. Eddie was our cousin and we loved him dearly. His mother Mary and my mother Ernestina Encizo were sisters and his father Manuel was the brother of my husband’s mother Petra Bejarano. He was a kind, gentle, compassionate and loving man who will be greatly missed.
Dear Edward Jr and Alisa and Family, Michael and I (anna) wanted to be there for our last good-bye, Michael is in the hospital so together our thought are for you and your family. We know that Eddie will always be close to all as your mother is. Your mother and dad were beautiful people and I know they will be happy together again. Our love to all always. Michael and Maria Villegas
Eddie and I worked at the Inspiration Concentrator in the early sixties for summer employment. We became co-worker friends. The next time I saw Eddie was ten years later when I started work at Garrett and he was an engineer.
So on and off for almost 60 years. He was professional, always had a smile, was kind and empathetic. It is truly sad that he has passed. Everyone who knew him is better for having the privilege of knowing him.
