Edwin Echevarria

Torres

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Edwin Echevarria Torres, age 66, who departed this life on Friday, October 17, 2025, at Whidden Memorial Hospital in Everett. Edwin faced his battle with bladder cancer with immense courage and grace, a testament to his indomitable spirit.

Born on August 29, 1959, in Aguada, Puerto Rico, Edwin was the cherished son of the late Silverio Echevarria and Ada Luz Torres Ruiz. As the eldest of four children, he grew up surrounded by love and laughter before moving to Chelsea in 1977, where he cultivated a life full of memories and deep connections for the past 48 years.
Devoted to his family, Edwin poured his heart into raising his beloved daughter, Yesenia Echevarria. He was a talented self-employed painter, specializing in both residential and commercial projects, showcasing his artistic flair and dedication to his craft.
Edwin's joy for life was evident in his love for music and dance. He was the first to take to the dance floor, infusing every gathering with his infectious energy and passion. A loving father, son, brother, and grandfather, he leaves behind a legacy of warmth and kindness.
He is survived by his devoted daughter Yesenia, along with his five adoring grandchildren. He will also be missed by his siblings: Orlando, Ada Nieda, Jose Echevarria, and Ernesto Muniz, as well as many extended family members and friends whose lives he touched.
Funeral services will be held privately, honoring Edwin's wishes, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
We invite all those who wish to celebrate Edwin's life to share stories, laughter, and the profound impact he had on our lives.  May his memory be a blessing to all.
