RIP Edd Gould 1988-2012
3/27/12 by HappyHarry
As people are now becoming sadly aware, my friend and fellow animator/filmmaker Edd Gould, creator of the wildly popular Eddsworld series has lost his battle with cancer and passed away aged 23 on the 25th of March 2012.
Though an often shared sentiment when speaking of the deceased, it has to be said that Edd really, truly was one of the gentlest, sweetest people I have ever met who never had anything bad to say about anyone. Though it is an incredible shame that someone so talented, and relentlessly hard working has had their life cut short please remember that in his brief 23 years Edd reached millions of people with his art and brightened up their lives with his work. He did more in his all-too-brief life than many are ever capable of and we should celebrate him for it. Well done Edd.
We love you.
Fellow Eddsworld stars Tom and Matt put together this touching video tribute, please watch it.

Aw man, I remember Eddsworld, its been a while but I definitely recognized who you were talking about as soon as I saw the name. It's sad what happened, but I am glad he was happy to the end. I went onto the Eddsworld page and there are some nasty horrible trolls commenting on his page, I can't believe how people can be such arrogant assholes. If anyone else sees it, I suggest reporting them.

Whatta swell guy and tooner (first few online animations watched were EddsWorld toons (the hilarity that always ensued was ridiculous and oh so awesome). Thanks for the memories Edd. R.I.P bud.

I think it's awesome how so many people have been touched by his work over the years, and I think there couldn't be a better tribute. I met Edd at university and lived with him for a while, he was one of my inspirations as a fellow animator. It's such a shame to know that such a talented and fantastically genuine person is gone. RIP Edd, you're missed buddy.

My sincere condolences. I know exactly how you feel. Believe it or not, a good friend of mine just died this past Christmas Eve (at 28 years old) after a long battle with a rare blood disorder called HLH.
My heart goes out to you and your friend's family and friends.

Once you have started to read this,there is no turning back.A little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947.Then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message.The dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 Profiles in 30 minutes, the dead girl will appear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you.

Do anyone know, is Edd was fan of Tenacious D? He created a music video about "Tribute". I mean if that so maybe, if many people from NG will send a mail to JB or Kyle, they'll make a song about Edd or something. I think he totally deserve's it.

Eddsworld was one the greatest shows I've ever seen on newgrounds. You tell it was made by people who loved what they were doing and the characters in Eddsworld are what made it for me. :)

Interesting, I haven't made a flash in a good four years or so, I come back to NG on a whim and find this. I remember Edd from wayyyy back in the day, something like 2003? He created one of my favorite flash movies, http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/165274, which is funny I still remember it. It's #15 on my favorites. I just really liked it. RIP.
