Edward Acuna Obituary

ACUNA, Edward David

Our beloved son, brother, and father, Edward David Acuña, passed from this life on Tuesday, August 25, 2020. He died suddenly while doing what he loved best, taking care of his animals and property at his home in Marana. Eddie was born in Tucson May 23, 1965. He graduated from the UofA with a BA, and earned his Juris Doctorate from the New College School of Law in San Francisco, CA. Eddie loved the outdoors, enjoying hunting with family and friends and was active in a variety of sports. He was a lover of animals and always had a variety of companions including horses, dogs, cats and other pets. Eddie generously and freely shared his life skills, hunting expertise, and legal knowledge with those in need. Eddie was an excellent substitute teacher, offering his instructional talents in the Tucson school districts. Eddie is survived by his mother, Irene Hansen Acuña; sister, Rose Acuña Williams (Terry); brother, Steven Acuña (Donna); his partner, Anna Isburg and his two sons, Edward Jacob and Zachary Daniel Acuña in marriage with Angela Muñoz Acuña. Also left to mourn his passingare his nieces, Camelia and Nadiah Qabazard; nephew, Jason Acuña; uncle, Richard Acuña and a host of cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Edward Brown Acuña. The Acuña family is grateful for the outpouring of sympathy and condolences. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Eddie's name to the Karuna Horse Rescue Organization. Due to the current pandemic, a private memorial mass will be held at a later date to honor Eddie's life. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Avalon Chapel.

My condolences to the Acuna family. I knew Ed from the U of A marching band in the fall of 1983. I remember Ed as a good guy. Funny and ready to help. I hope that God gives you the strength and faith that you will see your loved one again. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Eddie had a beautiful soul. He was kind, thoughtful, and always a humble being. He spoke of his love for his mother, beloved Anna, and his sons. He loved life, nature, and his animals too because his heart had room for everyone, and everything. We shared so many wonderful memories and had planned to continue our friendship forevermore. Destiny had other plans for him eventhough we weren't ready to let him go. I offer my condolences to all his loved ones; I know that he will continue to live in your hearts. May the creator grant him eternal peace. Blessings and positive energy through your grief.
