Edward J. Escobedo

Mr Escobedo was one of my favorite administrators at Jasper. We always had a birthday lunch every year. I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace

You & I trying to make tamales, I miss you big brother

Always taking care of everyone and that smile! Rest in peace.

I never had the good fortune of working on the same campus as Ed, but I was always impressed by his concern for the students' well-being. He was such a polished, caring, and down-to-earth man who cared deeply about others.
Prayers for the family during this difficult time. Take comfort in his legacy. He was remarkable.

I was fortunate enough to know Ed in many of his roles over the years. Substitute Ed loved covering Social Studies classes. My History students always enjoyed Ed's lesson more than the one I left for them. He was my Principal, coworker, and most importantly he was a caring friend. Thinking of him brings me joy. What an honor it is to have known him.

We taught together at Vines and then at Jasper when he became an assistant principal. He always had a smile on his face and was a big tease! My daughter called him Mr. Ed and always knew he had candy somewhere. I am so lucky to have called him my friend and colleague. It so very sad to know he won´t be around to tease me about my Spanish any more. I miss you Eddie. Be at peace.

Mr. Escobedo was an enormous source of support and inspiration for many of us at Jasper and Plano West. I remember our collective excitement on days when he subbed for teachers (a high compliment considering that the teachers themselves were beloved), and the quiet gratitude we felt recognizing that he attended all of our athletic and musical events. By the time I graduated, he had floated in and out of my classes for years, and his warm enthusiasm for my writing helped inspire me to pursue an English Major at SMU. He took the time to say farewell and to encourage me on our last day of high school, and I still reflect on how intentionally he helped me feel seen in a moment when I felt that the fixtures of my life were disappearing. He will be missed by the Plano ISD community.
