This is news I never thought I'd wake up to. I really thought he would pull through, but after a long 6 year battle with cancer Edd Gould has passed away aged 23. Edd in his short time with us inspired countless people and set an example which nobody I know can match.

He was a huge inspiration to me and is the very reason I started flash animation back in 2006. He helped me improve and gave me constructive criticism as I learned over the years. He was a great man and he really demonstrated what just one guy is capable of if they really commit themselves.

Thank you Edd. Rest in peace.

RIP Edd Gould. We'll miss you.

That is awesome. I remember watching ALL of Edd's videos. I really loved his work and his passion.

He sure was passionate. It takes true dedication to create just one 10 minute animation never mind an average of 3 a year.

A sad day....he's half the reason i got off my ass and started to learn animation myself...well clearly i never finished, but he was funny....i should probably continue to learn how....Edd...it was an honor.

He has inspired an unbelievable amount of people. It is truly incredible.

i have a screen cap of me sending him my first and only drunk message to him telling him how much i love him....i was plastered beyond belief

glasscake 2012-03-28 00:12:52

That's pretty cute. I'm sure he appreciated it.

I remember you used to be a member of the Eddsworld Forums, GlassCake.

I honestly don't believe this. I want this to be a dream, but I know its not. I never thought I'd ever have to live the day where my favorite animator and the animator who inspired me died. I think I am going to just go and crawl into bed and stay there for a few days. I now can never tell Edd how much I enjoy his cartoons... I FUCKING HATE CANCER! I HATE IT! Why does such a terrible thing happen to such great people? Why does this happen to ANYONE! I had this friend, and her brother died of cancer. Its like GTFO Cancer! Like why... why... Edd Ill miss you bro... u.u Rest In Peace. And for the love of god, don't stop drinking Cola, if you know whats good for you...

I am seriously unsure as to how I feel about this, I never thought that this would actually happen being that leukemia has 70% survival rate. He was also my inspiration and the reason I decided to start animating and drawing. I owe him so much.

RIP Edd Gould. I probably wouldn't even know about this site if it wasn't for him.

keep seein more n more tributes to tha guy, i never really knew his videos with an encyclopedic knowledge, but I like his stuff, and the more i look into it, the greater a guy and an artist he seems and is, and tha passion, thats what everyone says; enormous passion; im thinkin of gettin into tha stuff i love now for once, thanks to all this, i guess... aside from tha point, its stuff like this that shows him as the wonderful guy he was.... RIP to Edd n thank you GlassCake for tha tribute to his memory, one among many but just as meaningful nonetheless

RIP Edd Gould. We'll miss you.
