In Loving Memory of Edwardo J. Montano

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Edwardo Julian Montano, who left this world on December 10, 2024, at the age of 84. A proud Colorado native and resident of Denver, CO. Ed was a devoted Marine Corp veteran, serving his country as a military policeman. His pride in being a Marine was unmatched, and he proudly shared this part of his life with everyone he met. Known affectionately as "Mr. Ed" to those who had the pleasure of knowing him, he was not only an accomplished auto mechanic but also a beloved teacher at Red Rocks Community College. His entrepreneurial spirit and expertise in automotive mechanics touched the lives of many. Ed was the heartbeat of his family, embodying love, strength, and unconditional compassion. He understood the true meaning of generosity, often giving away the shirt off his back or sharing his last dollar. His love was boundless, and he served as a rock and pillar of strength for his family, guiding them through every challenge with unwavering support. As a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, mentor, and friend, Ed's beautiful soul inspired all who knew him. He was a devoted Christian and his faith guided him through his life and was committed to helping others, leaving a legacy of kindness and compassion. Ed is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Loretta; sons, Ed and Alfred; grandson, Jeremy; and great-granddaughter, Gianna. He is survived by his daughters, Terry Trujillo(Steve) and Shelly Marquez (Mark); daughter-in-law, Dana Montano; grandchildren, Nicole, Joshua, Alexandria, Stephanie, Ariel, Mariah, A.J., JoJo, Alyssa, Shayla, and Jacob; great-grandchildren; and numerous relatives.
