 A devoted father to his son, Eduardo Macazan, Jr., who survives him, including siblings: Ernesto Macazan, Lucy Conde, Lydia (Frank) Torres, Rita (Herbert+) Ramirez, Victoria Chavez, and many Godchildren, nieces, nephews, and the next generation that he loved like his own hoisting many of us in his hand by doing a “pininis” handstand.

Eddie proudly completed the following: He was a 1968 graduate of Yuma High School, drafted to Vietnam where he honorably served in C Battery, 6th Battalion, 14th Field Artillery in the United States Army from May 1969 to April 1970, and a 1979 graduate of AWC, earning an associate of arts degree. He retired from Southwest Lumber as a sales associate employed from 1977 to 2018. He hosted weekly family gatherings and holiday events at “Yaqui Beach”. A die-hard Cowboys fan, a faithful church usher, a self-taught musician playing saxophone (remember Los Originals?), he enjoyed Tejano music and Oldies. He was also known as a jokester and as Tio Popcorn. He lived a life well-loved and will be fondly and frequently remembered.
