Eddie Sanabria Jr.

Eddie "Ed" Sanabria Jr., 69, passed away on October 13, 2025, in Orlando, Florida. Born on September 25, 1956, in Opa-locka, Florida, Eddie lived a full and vibrant life marked by dedication to his work, deep love for his family, and an infectious sense of humor that left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Eddie pursued higher education at Biscayne College in Miami Gardens, Florida. His professional journey was both impressive and impactful. He served as a Senior Aircraft Flight Planner for over two decades, demonstrating precision and commitment in a demanding field. Later in his career, he transitioned into the financial sector as Vice President of Security & Facilities within a financial institution-roles that reflected his versatility and leadership.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Linda Sanabria of Orlando; daughter Lauren Zeballos of Windermere; step-son Steven LeBlanc of Gainesville; mother Maria Sanabria; brothers Robert and Raymond Sanabria; grandson Joshua Zeballos; and granddaughter Sophia Pincura. Eddie was preceded in death by his father, Eddie Sanabria.
Known affectionately as "Mr. Ed," he was a man who brought laughter wherever he went. His quick wit and caring nature made him not only a beloved family member but also a cherished friend and mentor. He had an uncanny ability to teach others through everyday conversations-he truly knew a little bit about a lot of things.
Eddie's passions were as bold as his personality. He loved fishing and golfing with the same intensity that he cheered for his favorite football teams-the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes. "GO U!" was more than just a cheer-it was part of who he was. Whether watching football or attending BBQs with friends and family, Eddie found joy in life's simple pleasures.
A celebration of Eddie's life will be held on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home located at 1654 N Semoran Blvd., Orlando, FL 32807.
Eddie's legacy lives on through the stories shared by those who knew him best-stories filled with laughter, wisdom, and warmth. May his memory bring comfort to all whose lives he touched.
