RIP Edd Gould (1988-2012)

Description

On the 25th of March 2012, Edd Gould lost his life to cancer.
For the pat 8 years, Edd has been suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells.
He first revealed this on the 16th April 2011 to his fans. But it came as more of a shock to them when he told them that it was a returning cancer. However he put on a brave face, and even joked about cancer in a video of him in hospital with the Eddsworld crew (Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell and Matt Hargreaves) called Edd vs. Cancer, which featured an animation made by Tom of punching cancer in the face (and for some reason Tom made cancer a dinosaur?!?!)

Sadly we lost him on the 25th April 2012, and two days later Tom and Matt posted a video announcing the passing of Edd. Tom then made the statement that "Edd may be gone, but his world will keep spinning."

And I intend to make sure it keeps spinning.
Edd has been one of my all time idols in life.
Whenever I was upset, I would know to watch some Eddsworld and I would always feel happier.
He taught me that, no matter what, that you must finish what you started, even if you are being held back.
When he was in hospital, he apologized to everyone about the delay of his videos, but said that he would still carry on making them whilst he was in hospital because he felt he was letting his fans down.
He was such an inspiration to me, and sadly I never got the chance to tell him that.
I was planning on telling him that in May at the London MCM Expo, but sadly I will never have that chance.

But he will always be my hero, and I will never forget him.

Please everyone.
Edd may be gone, but we must keep his world spinning.

Thank You

Rest in Peace Edd
You will never be forgotten...
