Eddie was born in Winnipeg on January 1, 1967. He attended Holy Ghost School, Edmund Partridge High School, Saint Paul's College and Maples Collegiate. During his college years he developed a passion for playing football. Edward's dream was not entirely extinguished after a severe leg injury during a Saint Paul's home game. He went on to volunteer coaching football with a variety of high school student groups. Eddie was an easy going, hard working individual who was always ready to assist others. His compassion for those in need was clearly demonstrated when Eddie was employed by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority in the capacity of home care attendant. Four years later, he carried out maintenance duties at the Winnipeg Convention Centre. Eddie continued to work in this capacity at the Garden City Community Centre. Lastly, at the time of his death, Eddie was employed as a delivery driver for Bee-Clean Maintenance. He was a highly valued employee who was respected and well liked by management and co-workers alike. Eddie will always be remembered for his personality and his fun loving spirit by his family and friends.
