Ed Hendricks passed away peacefully on November 28, 2021. He was surrounded by his family during his final time in this life. He was born October 2, 1941, in Chicago, Illinois. He moved to Phoenix while he was in grade school. He attended Brophy College Preparatory for high school; University of Santa Clara for college; served in the armed forces as a military police officer; and attended U of A for law school. He was a trial lawyer from 1969 to 2010. He was an amazing attorney but an even better husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather. He loved helping others and always put his family and others first.
Ed is survived by his wife, Genevieve Hendricks, their four children Elizabeth Frakes (Tim), Kathleen Valladao (Greg), Ed Hendricks, Jr. (Katie), and Genevieve Markham (Andy); his brother Bill Hendricks (Virginia); and his 10 grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Ed’s memory to Huger Mercy Living Center – 2345 West Orangewood Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85021 or Saint Vincent De Paul – PO Box 13600, Phoenix AZ 85002. The family is thankful for your thoughts and prayers. The family is holding a private service for Ed later this month.

I knew Ed only professionally and very early in my career. He warmly welcomed me when I first came to Phoenix and I appreciated his kindness. I then came to know him as a giant lawyer and leader in his firms and in our community. My condolences to his family and close friends – I know he will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Ed’s family on his passing. I was also a ’59 grad, and remember Ed very well. I lost track over the years, but, like Ed, entered the miLitary after I graduated from the UofA. While he went to Law School, I stayed in and flew for 20 years.. It sounds like he was a terrific lawyer, but I would have expected nothing less. Again, my sympathies.
