Eduardo Alfredo Jimenez, a cherished soul and beloved figure to many, passed into glory unexpectedly at home on July 29, 2025, in Buckeye, Arizona. Born on October 13, 1936, in the vibrant city of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, Eduardo's journey through life was rich with experiences, love, and passion.
Growing up in the bustling NYC, New York, Eduardo learned the values of hard work and dedication early on. His career spanned various fields, from managing a photo and camera store to excelling as a medical collection professional at many popular NYC hospitals. His commitment to excellence was matched only by his compassion for those around him, leaving an indelible mark wherever he worked.
Eduardo's education was a testament to his perseverance; he graduated high school and was educated and certified in Accounting, culminating in his notable achievement as a 1955 graduate of the Bible Institute. This foundation of knowledge served him well not only in his professional life but also enriched the faith he held dear.
In his personal life, he found joy and solace in companionship, marrying Ana Iris Jimenez on November 27, 1980. Together they nurtured a loving family that became the centerpiece of his existence. Eduardo was a proud father to Dana, Gisele, Jean, Irene, Marjorie, Edward, and Joannis. His legacy also continues through his grandchildren – Michael, Erika, Eric, Steven, Jeremy, Justin, Cristina, Jose, Sabrina, Joshua, Jasmine, Gabriella, Jayden, Josiah, Moses, and Ezra – each one carrying a piece of his vibrant spirit forward.
As a man of diverse interests, Eduardo's heart beat to the rhythm of many passions. He reveled in the delicious flavors of Hispanic cuisine and found comfort in the melodies of Christian music, letting the notes intertwine with his daily life. His love for baseball, particularly for the New York Mets, was a bond he cherished, while old-fashioned Western cinema and films provided him with endless hours of enjoyment, transporting him to worlds both thrilling and nostalgic.
In his later years, Eduardo fulfilled a dream when he retired to Buckeye, Arizona, where he appreciated the tranquility of life surrounded by nature and sunshine. His favorite colors of beige and cream mirrored the calming simplicity that defined his approach to life.
Eduardo’s farewell is marked by a graveside service to be held on August 6, 2025, at Hazelton Memorial Cemetery in Buckeye, Arizona, where friends and loved ones will gather from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM to celebrate a life well-lived.
Though Eduardo Alfredo Jimenez may no longer walk among us, the rich tapestry of memories he created will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. His spirit will forever live on in the hearts of his wife, children, grandchildren, each remembering him not just as a family member or friend, but as a guide, a mentor, and a beacon of love.
