Edward Saucedo Obituary
El Paso - El Paso Police Department Officer Edward Saucedo, Badge #686, passed away peacefully in his home on February 11, 2020 after a hard-fought, three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Edward was looking forward to a long retirement --- traveling and antiquing with mom; watching his family; and enjoying a couple of cold beers and chicken wings with buddies from work. But, as Chaucer wrote, "Time and tide wait for no man."
Dad was born to Antonio D. and Hortencia Saucedo on Janaury 16, 1949 in Ft. Riley, Kansas, one of eight children. The family moved to El Paso in the summer of 1965. Dad graduated from Andress High School in 1967, where he ran cross-country and lettered in football and wrestling. He graduated with a degree in political science from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1973. In 1984, Dad met the love of his life, Patricia Margaret Enright. They married in 1986 and spent 34 wonderful years together.
He was accepted into the 63rd class of the El Paso Police Academy in 1978, graduating on Aprill 22 of that year. Dad served his home of El Paso for 41 years, retiring on July 20, 2019. During his career, he worked the Juvenile Sector, Regular Patrol, Police Backgrounds, Tactical (TAC), Combined Search and Rescue (COMSAR), and for many years was an instructor at the academy.
He is survived by his wife, Patricia; children Jennifer Ann Saucedo, Jason Edward Derek Saucedo, M.D., Teresa Evelyn Saucedo, and Asia Gaye Saucedo; grandsons Dante Evans and Isaac Evans; sister Elida Saucedo; brothers Ceasar (Sonny) Saucedo and Karl J. Saucedo; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and hundreds of brothers and sisters in Blue. He was preceded in death by his parents, Antonio D. and Hortencia Saucedo, brother Anthony D. Saucedo, and sisters Ida Lucero, Gisela Godfrey, and Vallida Lutgen.
The famiy would like to thank Honor Health in Scottsdale, AZ, and Dr. Erkut Borazanci "Dr. B" and his team for giving us 3 more years with our Papa. "Patricia thank you for taking care of me they way you did the last few weeks of my life, you are my angel"

I remember Eddie as a quiet teammate at Andress. He didn't say a lot, he just did everything that was asked of him. Apparently he lived the rest of his life with that same quiet determination.

Hard to believe and I'm deeply sorry for the family. Eddie was such a great guy to be around at Andress and was truly liked and respected. It's no surprise that he spent his career helping protect and serve others. He will be missed.

Central calling Officer Edward Saucedo...Central calling Officer Edward Saucedo. Officer Edward Saucedo make your final 10-1 (to the station), mission accomplished, thank you for your services, job well done......10-4.....
My deepest sympathies to the family of Officer Edward Saucedo. Pat and Sonny, you know the history.
Our friendship began in 1961 as army brats when our father's were stationed in Bamberg, Germany; friendship was renewed attending Andress High School and UTEP; and continued with my many returned trips to the Sun City which I left in 1970.
May God bless Officer Edward Saucedo, I will truly miss him. One day, we will patrol heaven's gate together with Saint Michael as our Field Supervisor.
From Honolulu Finest to El Paso Finest:
A Hui Hou, Me Ke Aloha!
(Until we meet again, with love)

Was a lot of fun working with Ed many years ago while at the Police Academy. We had some good times and a lot of laughs.
