Edward Jeffery “Ned” Jaramillo 

1986-2024 

For reasons only God understands, our beloved son, Edward Jeffery “Ned” Jaramillo, has gone home to rest eternally in our dear Lord’s arms.  

Services will take place on Friday, March 1, at Our Lady of Belen Catholic Church, beginning with a visitation at 8:30 a.m., followed by a Rosary at 9:30 a.m., with a Funeral Mass to be celebrated at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at Our Lady of Belen Memorial Gardens.  

He is survived by his loving parents, Steve and Dinah Pennypacker Jaramillo; brothers, Steve Jr., Robert, Matthew (Angelic) and Lucas (Danielle); uncles, Andrew Jaramillo (LouAnna), Bill Jr. (Debra Renee), David (Ellen) and Joe Pennypacker (Cristal); aunties, Nila J. Baker, Dina Paulik (Jim), Becky Jaramillo, Amy Park (Steve) and Marylou Wells (Dave); nieces, Joylene, Alexa, Mia, Vanna and Luciana Jaramillo; his “partner for life,” Amy Jane Luna; and many cousins and friends, who he loved very much.  

He is joyfully reunited with those family members who left before him, Grandpa and Grandma Margarito and Ramona Jaramillo; Pampa and Mamaw Edward J. and Mary Daws; Grandad Bill Pennypacker Sr. (Dorothy); uncles, Lenard Baker, Toby and Ruben Jaramillo; and auntie, Ermie Jaramillo.  

No matter what struggles or difficulties Ned endured, he loved life and had miles to go. He cared about everyone and his family mattered most. Ned gave whatever he had to those in need even if he didn’t have much.  

He is home now happy, strong and watching over us from above. We will miss him forever and we will never forget him. We loved him so! Our son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend, Ned, is no longer walking in the dark, his bright light will never go out. We always believed in you, Ned!
