Celebrating the life of
Eduardo Espineli
July 29, 1940 - February 24, 2026
Eduardo Espineli, 85, of Savannah, Georgia, passed away on February 24, 2026.
Ed was born on July 29, 1940, in Cavite, Philippines to the late Jose Espineli and Juana Perea Espineli. He graduated from the Mapua Institute of Technology in the Philippines with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and began his career at the National Housing Authority. After immigrating to the United States, he continued his work as a maintenance technician at the Landings Club.
As a child, Ed loved to sing and recite poems, which grew to a love for karaoke. A joker at heart, he brought laughter to those around him. He was especially handy around the house and enjoyed tackling do-it-yourself projects, finding satisfaction in building and fixing things with his own hands.
He is survived by his wife, Celia Chua Espineli; sons, Edward Ian, and Edison Jason; daughter, April Marie; sisters, Lolita Valdez, Lily Castillo, Mely Sacdalan, and Zozima Fernandez; and four grandchildren. In addition to his father and mother, he is preceded in death by his brothers, Antonio, Conrado, and Roberto Espineli.
A visitation will begin at 10:30 am, followed by a Memorial Mass at Fox & Weeks, Hodgson Chapel at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

Daddy, I love you. we may not have had as much time together as I would have hoped, but I want you to know that I have always cherished the time we did have, especially the memories from when I was growing up. I find comfort knowing that you have finally found peace. Even though you are no longer with us, you will always be a part of my life and a part of who I am. I also want to say a special thank you to Tita Celia. Thank you for opening your heart to us and for becoming such a vital part of our family. Most of all, thank you for the way you loved and took care of Daddy. We truly appreciate everything you did for him; it means more than words can say.
