Eduardo Valenzuela Jaramillo, (Lalo), 86, born October 13, 1935, in Trincheras, Sonora Mexico passed away peacefully at Hospice of the Valley on January 13, 2022. He was a loving father to: Gloria Cota (Ralph), Edward Jaramillo Jr., Frank Jaramillo (Esther), Dina Jaramillo, (Alfredo) Ramon Jaramillo (Carol), and Joseph Jaramillo. He also raised Eddie Jaramillo III and Rico Jaramillo (Lindsey) as his own. He had 21-grandchildren, 37-great grandchildren, and 12-great-great grandchildren. Plus, many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.
Lalo is survived by his current wife of 13-years, Ana Maria Salinas Sanchez and step children: Luis, Hector, Antonio, Ana, Araceli and Alma Dorado as well as, his sister Margarita Mendoza and his brother Martin Jaramillo.
He was preceded in death by his first wife Rosa Saucedo Jaramillo, his son William (Bill) Jaramillo, his parents Inosente and Isabel Jaramillo, his sisters Maria Jesus, Francisca, Herminia and brother Jose.
Lalo immigrated to Arizona when he was 11-years old and was extremely proud to become an American citizen! He was married to Rosa Saucedo Jaramillo for 51-years. He worked at East Resthaven Cemetery for 30-plus years as a groundskeeper, back when they used to dig graves manually. Later he went to work for the City of Tempe where he retired from.
If you met dad you would have become his friend and felt as if you’d known him all your life. He loved to visit and share stories with countless of friends. Above all, he loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and would share Him with whoever would listen!
A tribute will be held at 10:00 am on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at Restheaven/Carr-Tenny Mortuary & Memorial Gardens, 4210 East Southern Avenue, Phoenix with a graveside service at 1:15 pm.
