Kevin Salcedo Obituary

Kevin Michael Salcedo

El Paso - El Paso - Kevin, our beloved husband and father passed away Saturday, October 24, 2020. Our hearts are broken because we didn't get to say goodbye or give him a final hug. Kevin was a Godly man and so loved by his family. We get comfort in knowing that he has been embraced in the arms of the Lord and is no longer in pain. He is now able to walk through the gardens in Heaven with his faithful four legged companion, Cooper. Mr. Salcedo was a life-long resident of El Paso, Texas and a proud graduate of Eastwood High School, class of 1966. He worked for Southwestern Bell for 30 years. He loved crosswords, brain games, word power and playing Liverpool Rummy. He enjoyed listening to oldies and drinking his morning coffee on the patio and Monday night fellowship at Jim's. Kevin was an avid skeet and trap shooter and his biggest pleasure was attending competition shoots with his precious son, Bryan. He was known for his sense of humor, love for his family and his capacity to know a plethora of information. Kevin was preceded in death by his father, Gilbert and mother, Dorothy, and his sister, Kathleen. He is survived by his wife and best friend of 47 years, Gloria, his son and shooting partner, Bryan (Crystal), and beloved family members, Mary Ann (Alan), David, Sarah, Mark, Charlie (Rhonda), Melissa, Travis and Brandon. Due to COVID pandemic restrictions, the Salcedo family will be having private services. A celebration of life for Kevin is planned in the spring of 2021 in El Paso, Texas at a date to be shared.






Kevin Salcedo, nuestro amado esposo y padre falleció el sábado 24 de octubre de 2020. Nuestros corazones están destrozados porque no pudimos despedirnos ni darle un abrazo final. Kevin era un hombre piadoso y muy querido por su familia. Nos reconforta saber que ha sido abrazado en los brazos del Señor y que ya no siente dolor. Ahora puede caminar por los jardines del cielo con su fiel compañero de cuatro patas, Cooper. El Sr. Salcedo residió toda su vida en El Paso, Texas y se enorgulleció de graduarse de Eastwood High School, generación de 1966. Trabajó para Southwestern Bell durante 30 años. Le encantaban los crucigramas, los juegos mentales, el poder de las palabras y jugar al Liverpool Rummy. Disfrutaba escuchando música antigua y bebiendo su café matutino en el patio y el compañerismo del lunes por la noche en Jim's. Kevin era un ávido tirador de platos y trampas y su mayor placer era asistir a las sesiones de competición con su precioso hijo, Bryan. Era conocido por su sentido del humor, amor por su familia y su capacidad para conocer una gran cantidad de información. Kevin fue precedido en muerte por su padre, Gilbert y su madre, Dorothy, y su hermana, Kathleen. Le sobrevive su esposa y mejor amiga por 47 años, Gloria, su hijo y compañero de tiro, Bryan (Crystal), y sus queridos familiares, Mary Ann (Alan), David, Sarah, Mark, Charlie (Rhonda), Melissa, Travis y Brandon. Debido a las restricciones pandémicas de COVID, la familia Salcedo contará con servicios privados. Se planea una celebración de la vida de Kevin en la primavera de 2021 en El Paso, Texas, en una fecha que se compartirá.

One of the best! A friend from high school, rekindled our friendship in the 90’s with many hours at the gun range. His memory will live on in mine and my husbands hearts.

I worked with Kevin for many years. He was a true gentleman. His eyes would light up whenever he spoke of Gloria and Bryan. Please accept my sincere sympathy, this world could use more men like Kevin.
