Hi everybody. I'm Ed's brother, Jose.

Never in my dreams did I think I would have to write this for anyone, much less my family. It shatters my heart completely as I write this. Ed passed away on Sunday, December 10th. He leaves behind a beautiful son, a loving family and so many friends (and fans) that loved him tremendously. I am never the one to ask for this kind of help, but if you're able to contribute in any way this would help us to cover the costs of this tragic event in our family. All proceeds will be used towards memorizing Ed with the remainder of the funds going to his son, Eddie.

I will be keeping everyone updated for a memorial that we will hold for my little brother.

Thank you.
