You are all in our thoughts and prayers, and we share in the pain of your loss.
Eddie was always like a little brother growing up! I will never forget his way of making people laugh with his silliness and his kindness. I know he was an awesome brother and an even more awesome uncle. I love you all and you are in my prayers.
I’ll never forget the countless laughs we shared, the jokes that maybe made me question his sanity sometimes, when he told me I was almost as funny as him (the best compliment I’ve ever received), and so many other things. He was the best person you could have came in contact with.
I’ll miss you bub❤️
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! We love you all!
So sorry for your loss! Hugs and prayers for the family!
Eddie was such a nice young man who was a great house mate with my son during this People to People Student Ambassador trip to Japan ❤️
My thoughts and love are with all of you.
You’ll be remembered by your never-ending laughter and love you so kindly shared with everyone you met. Thank you for making this world brighter while you were here. The Good man only knows how many lives you positively changed. You are so missed and so loved, Eddie.
It’s been awhile since we talked but you helped me and encouraged me through some of the hardest times in my life even though we were thousands of miles apart. I owe you so much. You were one of the sweetest and uplifting people I have ever met. I’ll never forget. My prayers go out to your family during this difficult time.
I will remember him as the funniest person I have ever met. I wish I could have seen his Netflix special he always talked about. He always had a way to make everyone around him laugh including himself. He was a hard worker and selfless person and proved that everyday. I proud to have him as a cousin but more importantly like a brother. We all miss you and it’s a shame someone else gets to hear your jokes instead of us, you make sure to keep grandpa laughing until we get there!
So sorry for your loss, Our favorite memory of Eddie when he was little was knocking on the door asking trident scooters with Alex
A part of my heart will forever be missing. You were technically my little brother but really you were my big brother. You’ve never given up on me. I remember always protecting you when we were little. Man I sure wish I could have now. Now who’s gonna make me piss my pants every Sunday? And send me “whadup bitch” messages? Or tell me I look like echo lake?? Saying I’m going to miss you is an understatement. I took our last hug for granted I know that. I love you so much bub. You were way too good of a guy for this place. Keep me and joz safe like I know you will.
Eddie was my upstairs neighbor for the last 5 years. I never saw him without that smile and a friendly word. We all share this loss.
