Ed was born in Manchester in the summer of 1974. His family consists of; James (Dad: passed away
2002), Margaret (Mum), Seamus (Brother), sisters Margaret, Lucy and Josephine and brother Michael.


Ed was a much respected brother in law to Neil and Joe.

He was an adored, much loved uncle and cousin to; Lee, Donna, Emma, Vicky, Ryan, Megan, Niamh,
Kieran, Adele, Kayleigh, Pebbles and Joshua (Not forgetting cousins in Ireland: Keith, Leeanne,
Thomas Michael, Paul, Seamus, Claire, Mary, Sinead and Liam)

Loving Nephew to Lucy and Jimmie, Margaret, Annie, Kay, and Michael; the late Molly, Mikey, Paddy
and Peggy and Bobby RIP.

Great friend to Louise, Brendan, Sarah, Karl, Marcia, Alison, Danny, Jack, Ashleigh, Pops, Hassan,
Michael, Candice, Siobhan, Lisa, John, Anthony, Chez and many many more...

Ed loved driving his car, playing on his playstation, surfing the net and listening to music... He
had a wicked sense of humour and had a smile that would melt your heart. He would help anyone and
always put others before himself.

Aged 18, Ed was diagnosed with Diabetes. Despite determined attempts, his diabetes was never
controlled and in recent years he suffered renal failure.

On the 18th December 2007, Ed was finally accepted on the transplant list; Ed, his family and
friends were estatic.

Our joy was short lived as Ed took ill shortly before Christmas and he was admitted into hospital on
Boxing Day. On the 30th December he suffered a cardiac arrest and was placed on life support;
however, Ed suffered irreversible injuries and the family took the heartbreaking decision to
withdraw life support.

Ed had a strong heart and fought bravely for 35 hours before losing his brave battle on the 12th
January 2008.


He is now reunited in Heaven with his dad. (Arran cardigans await him..)

Ed will be sorely missed by those who loved him and our lives will never be the same again. Rest in
Peace Ed, till we all meet again... x x x x x x
