It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Edward P. Altamirano, who left us on April 12, 2025.

He was preceded in death my his wife of over 30 years Elizabeth Altamirano. His mother Nora Altamirano, and his aunt Fabiana Monreal. He is survived my his daughter, Elysse Altamirano.

He was not just a father, but a constant source of love and inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him. His gentle spirit and nurturing heart filled our lives with warmth, and his absence is felt deeply by his family and the entire neighborhood.

Ed was adored by his daughter, and the love shared was immeasurable. He embodied a rustic simplicity that made every moment spent with him a cherished memory. A passionate collector of random treasures, he had a unique vision for beauty in everyday life, reminding us all to appreciate the small things. His home was a reflection of his soul—a space filled with warmth, laughter, and a sense of belonging.

A true selfless soul, Ed dedicated his life to caring for others. He was a father figure to many, always ready with a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand. To meet him was to love him, and the outpouring of affection from our community during this time is a testament to the profound impact he had on our lives.

As we mourn the loss of such a remarkable man, we invite all who knew him to join us in honoring his memory. While we may feel a little less light without his presence, we carry forward his legacy of love, compassion, and community. His spirit will live on in our hearts forever.

Rest in peace, dear Papa. You will be missed more than words can express.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Whistle Stop Depot on Saturday May 10th at 330pm, in lieu of black please wear colorful clothes or cowboy attire.
