On behalf of all of us at the Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness (USARA), I would like to share our deepest condolences to his friends and family. Edward was as kind as he was intelligent and truly remarkable on both counts. He possessed genuine and unconditional compassion for the suffering of other people. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know him. He will be greatly missed

I have so many fond memories with Edward. He was my sister Mara’s first love and they spent close to a decade together. In that time he became part of our family. He was incredibly smart, loved music and loved to read. He loved my sister so deeply. I am so saddened to hear this news and he will be greatly missed.

Eddy and I met in 4th grade after I moved to Bountiful. We had a small crew that we hung out with at school. We were partners in 2 school projects that I can remember. As preteens we would go to Classic Skating, the old indoor swimming pool by my home, 5 Points Mall by his home and we attended each other's birthday celebrations. Our homes were less than a mile apart. We also went to the same middle school. As young teens our idea of fun was a little more mischievous, but nothing crazy. We had a Little Caesar's advertisement flyer with about 30 different locations and their phone numbers and he used a speaker phone to call and ask for things they don't have while I recorded onto a cassette tape.  He would ask for donuts, pies, 30 inch pizzas, grapes toppings, and many of these calls he would pretend to only speak French. The calls usually ended pretty quick when I busted up laughing which made him start laughing. Skateboarding was a newfound hobby around this time. I wasn't really into skating, but I often rode along just hang out with the crew. At age 16 I got my first job where he was working and we were co-workers for a little while. We would hang out often through out high school and occasionally after high school. We went to a few concerts and when we turned 21 we bar hopped a little. For the last several years our only contact was through social media. I always looked forward to us meeting up again, catching up on our life events, and sharing some more laughs. When I got the bad news it felt like I had lost a brother. He was always a fun guy to be around and a great friend to have. I'll miss him for the rest of my days.

I did not know Eddie well. I followed him on and off throughout the years because he is part of my family. I always had the sense that he had a good heart and pure motives and hoped he would find happiness with Mara, his dear friend. My heart is hurting for those most close to him, who are grieving deeply. My love to him and all who love him.

My Dear Sweet Eddy,

I will never forget the joy that your grandfather Parley had when you came into the world. Your grandfather was thrilled that you were the first blue eyed grandchild, since the rest of us have brown eyes.

The first time I met you I thought I had seen an an angel. You were one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen in my life.

As you grew into a wonderful young man, I remember your love of reading, music and animals. Your heart was so big you could drive a train through it.

The relationship that you and your mother had was one of the closest I have ever witnessed. Her voice lit up when she talked about you.

I remember the wonderful times we had when you and Maura would invite me to come and spend time with you.

I love you and will miss you terribly.

My prayers go out to your friends and our family, especially your mother Mary.

Rest In Peace and love my beautiful Edward,

Your loving Aunt Annette Swainston

I met Eddy in junior high, but didnt get to know him until years later after meeting my husband Darryl. They were good friends. Eddy shared his love of music with everyone that he could, I'm grateful to have some CDs he made for me. Eddy was a great guy and an even better friend. He will be forever missed by us.

I remember attending a family cookout at Eddy and Mara's home with Mary and Kali and Kali's kids. It was my first time meeting Eddy and he made me feel like one of the family. We talked a little about music ( we liked a lot of the same bands) and I liked him immediately. I could tell he had a good soul and had a lot of love for his family. It was a day of good food, laughter, and togetherness. I regret not having the chance to get to know him better, but I'm thankful for having met him. Rest In Peace, Eddy.

I met Eddy and Mara many years ago, and continued a relationship with Eddy for a while after our initial meeting. He was such a kind soul and genuine human. I’ve thought about him over the years. He was uniquely kind and very easy to get along with. I can see that he was loved for the amazing person he was. My heart goes out to his loved ones. I won’t forget him.

I remember when me and eddy were in our preteens, we used to get blankets and make tents in our living room. Eddy's dad and my mom would walk into the room mad we had changed all the heavy item's around to hold up our blankets. They were mad at us for making a mess and me and eddy were mad they ruined our fort. Ha...thanks for the beautiful memory I will always hold it close to my heart little brother. 💗💗

He's healed now mom. 🎗️ Let's remember the true Eddy that told us once to, "get the hail out of my room" 😊💗
Ironic considering the next day I almost pulled eddy in my room through my window, by his head because him and his friends wouldn't stop knocking on my window.😂 😊👨👩🏾❤️💗
