Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

It's a testament to Edd's success that despite how far removed I've been from the online animation community for several years now, I heard about his untimely passing the day it was announced.

No matter how many cartoons I watched on here back in high school, I never found any of them more entertaining than Edd's work. I still remember scenes from his animations, even though it's been years and I've forgotten most of the other movies I've seen.

More important than that, Edd was a good guy. A real friendly, good-natured guy. Unfortunately, I never knew him in person, outside digital interaction, but nobody ever had a negative word to say about him. He was enjoyable to "have around" in whatever capacity people spoke of him. While about 90% of internet dialogue is worthless, every online conversation with Edd was priceless.

It was an honor to collaborate with him on animations and to, in a very small way, get to know him.
