A sad day...


This was on Fast Eddie's Yahoo group, posted by Robbin Young...



My dearest friend and mentor, Fast Eddie, passed away today. I just got off the
phone with Eddie's boss and he said Eddie's roommate walked in and found him
passed out on the floor. I know he's been having black out spells and I assume
that's what happened. His boss said it looked as though Eddie fell, hit his
head, and died. The coroner was removing Eddie's body while I was on the phone
with his boss.

He has no family and I'm unsure what plans will be made for any type of funeral.
I'm sorry, but I'm too distraught to write any more.

Eddie was not a religious man, and we had many discussions regarding this,
because I am a Christian. I know in my heart that Eddie will always be with me,
as my Guardian Angel.

Please don't EVER forget Eddie and when I am over this tragic loss, I'll write
about some of our fun and memorable conversations.

God Bless and remember...THIS IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL, MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT!

Much Love,
Robbin

God speed and thank you for all you did with this board.  You were the one that brought porn stars and the "regular guy" together to have a good time. You allowed us to have fun without disrespecting anyone. You treated everyone fair, no matter if they were industry people or the common guy. I am glad you took the time to write your blog about your many adventures with porn stars. You lived a fascinating and exciting hobby life and no one will ever be able to fill your shoes around here.  

God Speed Fast Eddie
Rest in Peace My Friend,
Ken

Eddie lived life to the fullest, and we clung to his every word here on the website and on his blog. He will be sorely missed. RIP Fast Eddie.

Is this a joke? cause I cant believe this

I just hopped on here for a quick sec and I had to read the title to this thread 2-3 times for it to register to my brain.  Definitely wasn't expecting that.  Wow.  Very surreal because Ed just started a post on here yesterday.  I'm not on here a whole lot, so I didn't know him well.  But he seemed like a pretty good guy.  I'm sure he will definitely be remembered by all.  Life can be very unpredictable.

If there was a Hall of Fame for the hobby, Eddie would be the first guy in there!!  He did so much to help people, he will be missed.

RIP Fast Eddie

Here is Fast Eddie in all his glory with his good friend Sara Jay.  I hope is having a threesome right now with Savannah and Anna Malle

Eddie had a boyish charisma about him that you just had to love.  He cared about all the people here and in the industry and I personally owe him a huge debt of gratitude for the guidance he gave me throughout the years.

Eddie and Sly made sure I navigated the choppy waters of this hobby safely when I was a newbie.  He didn't have to take his time to mentor me, he just did.  That was Ed.

Thanks and rest comfortably, old friend.

I am so sorry to hear this , He was always someone to pass along information and be a guiding hand in the Hobby.
He will be missed!

You have to admire a guy that has such a big heart and is so well liked by the folks he meets.

I will mourn the passing of Eddie Stewart because the world needs more guys like him.

Everyone who reads this is going to feel their life just got poorer. How many people can that be said about?

Thanks for being such a hale fellow Eddie, even if we never met.

May your earthly remains rest in peace and may your ethereal being be blessed with freedom and happiness beyond what us mere mortals could dare to dream.

Ed had a lot dramatic ups and downs in his life, which he wrote about on these boards. He was a vanguard in the community here, he will be missed.

May he rest in peace. Hope his many adventures continue on the other side.

Add my condolences to the ever-growing list of saddened members of TER.  I never failed to read his posts, or replies, because of his status, knowledge, experience.  I share the same sentiments that others have mentioned here, that Eddie was a hero to the 'regular guy' in this hobby.  

If I live the rest of my life to just a fraction of how Eddie lived his. I am going to be a happy man.

I wish I had met him face to face, as opposed to thru e-mails.  He was definitely someone worth knowing.

Peace to all of his friends and loved ones, but most of all to Eddie himself.  He will be missed.

Eddie, besides being a trusted friend and confidante, was like an uncle figure to me over the years. I'll always appreciate his classy advice. I wish I had had the opportunity to see him one last time. We just spoke on the phone a few months ago and I admired his spirit. He had fallen on some unfortunate circumstances but told me, "Hey, whatever doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger, right?"

Just one of the many life lessons I learned from him. RIP my friend.

Thank you Eddie for all you did with this board and in life.  God speed and rest in peace.

Rob

Rest in peace Ed, you will be missed....

RIP Eddie, May you be hobbying your ass off in heaven.

You will be missed by many here, but the memories you shared in your blog will carry you for years to come.

God Speed.

Cheers

Does anyone have Alex Arden's contacts so she can be contacted please?

My apologies to Miss Brigitte Adair for having to delete an earlier thread while we checked some things out.

My co-mod's a hell of a guy. I can in no way replace him. I'm sad for all of us who'll miss him, and hope his friends and family will get comfort in the days ahead.

Today is one of the saddest days of my life.  Eddie and I met over 10 years ago and have remained friends ever since our first date.

Eddie, I love you and I will miss you deeply, I will think about you every day and I know this board and hobby will be lost without you, your knowledge and willingness to help others was unsurpassed.

Love, Kathy

My prayers are with you Fast Eddie; you really made this board and our lives that much more richer. I will miss you!

I am very saddened by the news of Eddies passing... He has been a friend of mine for many years.  After I retired he would still call me to check on me and say hi. I will miss very much!!

Wow. It's hard to believe. I don't come on the boards anymore because of some of the people who were on here but Eddie sure wasn't one of the reasons, he was a good person. Had the pleasure of meeting and even hanging out with him a couple times and plenty of long talks on the phone.

I can't even find the words to be honest.

Ed was a good man and in the end thats what I'll always remember about him.

IN THE ALMOST 10 YEARS I DEALT WITH EDDIE ON THE VARIOUS PSE SITES I FOUND HIM TO BE A TRULY DECENT MAN. HE WAS DEVOTED TO HIS ELDERLY ANT TO HER SAD DEMISE. HE WAS IN NO WAY JUDGEING AND WE EXCHANGED MANY EMAILS ON FARRAH AND HOLLY BODY. I AM SURE IF THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE  HE WILL BE SEEING ERICA BOYER AND MARILYN CHAMBERS TONIGHT.

Live for today.

Hard to say anything that does not seem trite.

I'm sure I'm no different than many here who have never met Eddie face to face but I always look for his posts for thoughtful information and good humor. I will feel the loss and wish the best for everyone who knew him personally.

RIP Eddie

That was a pretty cool post with the Eddie link.

Just how he would want to go out on this board, with us jealous even in death....

Ed and I shared much in telephone conversations, often about things we couldn't discuss publicly on the boards. He was a comrade and a friend.

A sad day.

So sorry to hear -- he was a legend and will be deeply missed by many.

Your life was a fantastic reminder never to take anything or anyone for granted.  You lived life to the fullest and inspired and helped countless others to do the same.  

This is sad news indeed.  I never knew thee, but I always felt like I did.  

RIP Fast Eddie!

I did not know him well; we spoke a few times over the last 5 years and exchanged email. He always had time to respond and was always so helpful. I remember talking to him about 2 months after the horrible fire in Philadelphia.  He talked about how he was surprised and touched by the generous response of so many people. I was not.

RIP Ed.

Never conversed with him, but was a fan of his blog and work on this board.  A sad day indeed.

Fast Eddie, you will be missed.

Any porn stars that owe eddie a favor he requested  you to favor me..PM me at your earliest convenience..
Rest in Peace Eddie ..I hope you didn't take me too seriously on the other board....
 

Never seen a more giving man inside or outside of the hobby.  Thanks for making other peoples life richer.  You can count on a lot of friends up in heaven.

Like many of you I always found Eddie to be receptive of communication, open and honest.  I met him at the Las Vegas show at his party a few years ago and he was as nice as could be.  We're all aware of his contributions to this board and I hope we all keep the spirit of this board alive without his guidance.

I've been a member of this board for about 8 or 9 years now and Eddie was ALWAYS one of the good guys. He was more than willing to share his experiences and he always, always, always, stressed to other hobbyists that you must respect the ladies and treat them with respect. Being a nice guy took him a long way in this game and he made a lot of friendships with some wonderful people.
Rest in peace Eddie!

Thanks bobboob for letting us know.

I can't believe Eddie passed. He was the face of this board. Its an end of an era for the board with Eddie gone. I will miss his presence. But he lived a full life, if I do a quarter of the things he did my life would be richer. I still can't believe Eddie passed...Eddie was really one of the godfathers for the community!

Very sorry to hear about this. I never met FastEddie in person, but we exchanged emails on a couple of occasions. He was always helpful.

FastEddie was more than just a hobbyist, he was a class act.

RIP FastEddie.

WOW... I never met Eddie in person but we exchanged a lot of emails over the last 10 or so years and talked on the phone more then a few times. He dedicated a large part of his life to this hobby and a lot of us owe a lot of thanks to him. He and I disagreed on a lot of things, mostly politics, but his heart was always in the right place and he was a good man. He did a lot for this hobby and will be missed for his  contributions and willingness to help the rest us out. His enthusiasm and dedication to the hobby will be missed.

Goodbye, Eddie. Thanks for everything you've shared with us over the years. It won't be the same around here without you.

And while you're on that side of the veil, give Anna my love.

Shared his experience and great stories. Will miss his posting, although never knew the man. RIP ED!

I do not any longer but I know Alex was a very dear friend of his.  And she just gave birth last week to a gorgeous baby girl.  I talked to her a  few times; she had a lot going on; so happy for her; now this.

I did not know the man except through his writings here and on his blog, however; his caring and outstanding persona showed through this internet medium pretty clearly to me. He obviously was a good man and the world is poorer for the loss.

Rest in Peace Eddie.

I'm speechless.  Just wrote and erased 4 comments and I'm in shock.  I couldn't have told him enough how much I appreciated him and the respect he brought to the hobby.  I'm very sad.

xoxo

God Bless Ya Fast Eedie - Rest in Peace.  Tis a sad day indeed!

He'd want a party with all of us doing what we do and you all know it...

Eddie will be missed. I know I'll miss his wit and views on life. I will say a prayer for a him.

To have a toast at midnight or whenever to his name at the Circle Bar at the Venetian on friday night or whatever the big "first night" is at AVN. I think it's a tribute he would enjoy.

Fast Eddie always had such a wonderful heart and spirit. It is so hard to believe that he is gone. Wow...

And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

i am sure he would want to be remembered just as he was in the video clip. RIP eddie vaya  con dios!!!

He loved this picture of him, Selena and me...

-- Modified on 5/2/2010 9:06:27 PM

We know that not everyone makes it to AVN, so it's a tasteful tribute. The responsibility to keep this tribute in mind rests within the community.

Those of us who will be able to make it to next year's AVN should make the pilgrimage to the Circle Bar at Venetian opening night and toast Ed at the stroke of midnight. This was Ed's favorite place to hold court, meeting with providers and hobbyist alike at this location. Yes, I think this is a fine idea.

God willing, if I'm able to make it out to the AVN, I'll raise my glass, and toast to his name.

nycad

but he had also become one of the biggest and most thought-provoking contributors on the P&R board.  Those of us who exchanged notes, ideas and philosophies with him -- regardless which side of the political fence we were on -- were privileged to have the opportunity to see just how smart, articulate, insightful and passionate Eddie was about politics, history and our country in general.

TER and all of us have lost a good friend -- one of those friends that many of us have only "met" via electronic exchanges of ideas, tips and greetings.

As I said on my post on the P&R board, Eddie, may there be a wonderful porn star and a great political debate awaiting you on the other side of the "pearly gates."

Wow. On this board we get to know people without knowing them. We hobbyists know each other usually without ever meeting,

Still, when someone so prominent in this underground world leaves us for that place way above ground, it's shockingly sad.

I truly feel for the many ladies here who knew Eddie personally, shared so much with Eddie and loved him. Hugs to you all.

Eddie, cheers to you and to all that you meant to all of us. I would imagine you've now moved on to even greater pleasures.

--Vavoom

wow rest in peace....
thats sooooo sad!

May he rest in peace. God bless Eddie

He WILL be missed.

"He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man."

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

im very sad n touched. hope his soul rests in peace.

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I read this. I've met Eddie 2x in person (both during AVNs) and we've shared multiple private convos offline, truly he knew his stuff and shared his knowledge w/the rest of us hobbysts, PS, et.al. I knew of his recent health problems, job changes, family situations, and other difficulties, so now he can finally rest in peace w/no more pain or sadness. I like Jennifer's idea of having a party/drink in his honor, this is something we can all do during AVNs next year if we can plan it right. Take care Eddie.

OMG, what a shocker.  As the cliche goes, none of us are promised tomorrow.  But when you hear news like this, it still is unbelievable.  This Board will not be the same without him.  RIP Eddie.

This board won't ever be the same.

Your life was not overly long, but in no way short of having been lived.

WOW

We are all here for such a short time! This is so sad. I never met him in person, but he ALWAYS responded to every PM. A truly unique person. Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Godspeed

I would like to also express my sympathy for Eddie's passing. His passion for the hobby always lit up the board's.

Jeffrey

I always assumed Eddie was an exceptionally busy man. So I more than  appreciated his willingness and patients with any question I might have had. His presence will be missed. My sincere condolences to his friends and family.

It's taken me a while to think what to see beyond Rest In Peace.
In my family, it's always been the custom to tell stories about the departed to celebrate their life.  So:

I remember meeting Eddie a number of years ago at an adult convention.  I knew who he was since I had seen his pictures but he didn't know who I was.  We were both vying for the attention of a well-known Playboy Centerfold by telling jokes.  We alternated, and the jokes got worse and worse...  We both struck out but we had a good time telling jokes and laughing.  I think she did too.

Eddie and I didn't always get along and we had some fights in email, but that's how I choose to remember Eddie - as a man full of life and humor, with excellent taste in women.

my goodness this is sad..but it just shows you to live life to its fullest, and what ever there is you want out of it..go get it!!

God Bless You Ed

Terribly sad news.  We'll miss you Eddie.  
R.I.P.

A very sad day....RIP friend.

Eddie shared with us.  It was enlightening.  Vaya con dios Eduardo....

From your hometown....

You will be missed and rest in peace!!!

May your new Life be as exciting and porn filled as your last!!!

Farewell friend!!!

R.I.P EDDIE.

Never met him, but learned a lot from him. RIP Fast Eddie.

RIP Eddie..... His contributions to this board and others can not be easily quatified.


Eddie will be dearly missed.

Thanks for all the conversations and emails.  A mensch indeed.  Rest in peace, Eddie.

I've contacted Alex Arden at a private phone number.

Roy

Rest in peace, Eddie. You were the heart of this board.

Eddie was a total gentleman. Very kind and VERY generous.He will be deeply missed.

Always there to give advice and has helped me really enjoy this hobby.  RIP Eddie

I would like to send my sincere condolences to
all of Eddies friends and family or friends .

Though I had never met him I read his
story about losing his home to a fire.
I relate to that as it happened to me
when I was raising a child by myself
and it is times like that you know who
your real friends are.

It's never something to shrug off
on a board when hearing about someone losing
a life. There have been so  many who
have passed away, and several whom I have come
to know. I am sorry I never got to
know this wonderful person though he
was well adored on this board which says
alot for living a upbeat life surrounded
by those who truly care from the heart.

So here is my bid to farewell Eddie
may you rest in peace and may your
friends carry on living in your spirit
keeping you in memory , making decesions
in some situations based in part
of " how Eddie" would have handled those
situations.

~ Rest In Peace ~

Angela

Thank you for everything.

You're a great man.

We all miss you.

A very sad day. I loved eddie's zest for life. He will be missed.

A so nice person.  A big loss to all of us. You will be missed.

It goes to show how fleeting life is and how we need to cherish each moment.  Like a lot of board members here, Eddie helped me learn the ropes and for that I'll remember him.

Never met him, but exchanged emails a couple of times sharing thoughts on visiting PSE's to the Philly area (tipped me off to Raquel Devine many moons ago, my first PSE). He was used to hang his hat in Philly up until last year I believe....house burned down or something like that. Seemed like a nice genuine guy. Sort of sad that he doesn't have any family, but that is life I guess. You never know when your number is up.

My condolences to his friends and friends that considered him family.

Oh my god thats terribly sad such a wonderful friend in our community has gone without saying good bye , we love you , Fast Eddie, thinking of you the rest of this life , from your  sad Kim .

This is definitely a sad day, and I know he has given so much of himself to this community.  He is a celebrity of sorts around here, and will be greatly missed.

By looking at this long list of responses, it just goes to show what kind of impact FastEddie had on the lives of the people of this board. He cannot be replaced and he will be dearly missed by several. Let's just hope that we all can strive to be as wise, astute, and helpful about this hobby as FastEddie was.

Not enough can be said so I will just say that he truly will be missed by many.  RIP friend.

Nubian

I am in absolute shock...RIP my dear friend...wow...just wow

Hope you find another ps board to moderate in heaven.

Eddie was always there with a keen insight, a helpful suggestion and most of all a huge heart.

He helped me more times than I can count.

God bless ya Ed, you'll be missed my friend.

I've been a member for years but never post. However, Eddie has been very helpful to me over the years and I had to acknowledge his passing.

While in many ways it is a sad day, I will choose instead to rejoice in the fact that Eddie was a man who pursued and lived many of his dreams.

A lesson we should all learn...

There are no words.  Such a gentleman and such a generous soul.  We have all enjoyed his kindness and benefitted from his experience.

good bye eddie, RIP

R.I.P Eddie, you're one of the big reasons why I enjoy & began the PSE Hobby. Will truly miss reading your blog experiences/adventures.

A Legend has been lost but not forgotten- Fast Eddie!

007boro

I never met him, not even sure if we ever exchanged PMs, but by his many posts, I felt I knew him and could tell he was a good guy.  RIP.

I can't imagine this board without "FastEddie" being involved and offering his astute advice.  Since I've been a contributor to this board, Eddie has always been there.  His memory will always be with me.

R.I.P.  Eddie

You will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you.

I truely sadden to hear this, Eddie was a good man, a friend and one I could call on for advice and guidance in this hobby. He will surely be missed. Rest in Peace my friend and may God Bless You!

I never got to meet him in person, only through this group. He was always there to lend a hand to new members. A very good guy. He will be missed.

I know he will meeting all of his friends up there.  I will miss his blog..

RIP Eddie.

Just a few days ago he gave me some great advice.
He will be missed!

Look at this list of responses!  It is all about a legacy of a really sharing guy.

I have been a long time reader of this board.  I am truly saddened to hear of FastEddie's passing.  To read his posts an postings from other longstanding members he was an all around great guy.  Godspeed Eddie and may you rest in peace

I've never ever posted on this particular TER board before, but as a huge fan of the industry and a friend of some of the ladies in the biz - as well as a horny dude - I've lurked often. One thing that always stuck with me was the information and wisdom that Eddie seemed to be willing to share with anyone, anytime. Clearly he had established relationships in the industry and had experiences many of us would do anything to have, but he never placed himself above anyone, talked down to anyone or made anyone feel silly or stupid. And he always seemed so upbeat. The one thing I can remember from his posts was that I always said to myself, "What a great guy. I'd love to meet him for a beer sometime."

One thing I think of a lot is how will people react when I'm gone. Who will show up at my funeral, what will they say, how will I be remembered. I know that Eddie doesn't have any next of kin that we know of, but just look at the outpouring of love that has been shown on this board alone for him. Wow. Leaves you speechless. I hope that Eddie somehow is able to know the impact he has had on many people's lives, how much he is missed and how he was appreciated. I've never communicated with him at all, but somehow now wish I had the opportunity to tell him that before he passed.

Sorry I missed you Eddie, but thanks for being there for me and so many others whose lives you touched. RIP.

Eddie, didn't know you, but read your posts and found them entertaining and useful.  In a way, you were the life blood of this board.  I thought if you could bag the hotties, then lol, I still had a chance.  You seemed like a good person with a great heart.  Sounds like you went quickly?  Sometimes that is a blessing.  be well,

I never had the opportunity to meet Eddie in person, only through PM's here.
I must say that in the few messages we traded here that he was to me always kind, nonjudgmental and very informative.
Since I was a total stranger to Eddie he always made me feel like he was my friend and impressed me with how much he truly cared about his passion.
I like many, if not everyone here will miss his infinite wisdom and respect for the Hobby.
Eddie, I would like to thank you for all you have done for us all and wish you much grace and happiness forever and ever!

RIP and farewell my fellow Drexel comrade.

Wow, I'm shocked to see this.  I've been away from the PSE hobby for a couple years but will always remember the guidance and sage advice he would always provide on the boards.  I wasn't someone who interacted with him directly that I can recall, but as a newbie I learned a lot about how to navigate through this hobby reading his posts.  He truly helped out and mentored more people in this hobby than he knew.  Thank you Eddie for everything and rest in peace.
