Edward Anthony Saavedra

We are incredible shocked and saddened to hear of Eddie's passing and our thoughts and prayers are with Sharon, Anthony and Jason and their families. We always enjoyed listening to Eddie play music, roasting chili's,
and just spending time with he and Katie. We will always remember the fun and good times....

I can honestly say that I can not imagine this world without you in it. You and Katie were always the best and most fun to visit. You were so musically talented and yet supportive when I started playing bass. You would always say, the simpler the bass line, the better...I didn’t agree but that was ok we still had fun! I will miss picking up the phone to talk to you and your infectious laugh. “These Boots are Made for Walking”

I would like to add To my Bro-n-Law Fast Eddies story. I worked with Eddie 1977-76 at RTC San Diego. My little sister had graduated early from HS 77 and came to San Diego. While staying with us, Katie got a job working at the base theater snack bar where she met Eddie.
The rest is history...

Thanks for all the memories. The jamming and singing with the family. All the conversations on life. You were like my older brother and I will miss you. Rest In Peace. Love you always.

Farewell to a great friend and musician. It was my honor to have perform music with Eddie professionally for over twenty years. Rest In Peace Eddie.

My deepest condolences Katy. I miss his phone calls, and his sense of humor that laugh. He was definitely one of a kind. God bless you and the family. He will always be in my heart as will you.. My love and prayers go out to you and your beautiful family.. RIP my cousin I love you..

Fair winds and following seas shipmate! Love you man! God bless you and your family.

Eddie was a philosopher, believed in Karma, didnt sweat the small stuff. He really didnt care if you were laughing with him or at him, as long as a good laugh was had. He and Katie were my art buddies while I was in a long convalescence period. His aura was incredibly strong. As I said earlier, he literally gave his life for his country as a 100% disabled Veteran.
Condolences to my sister Katie, his wife and Jason and Anthony and the girls.
