Omg I can't believe ur gone imma absolutely miss u ed I jus tried messaging u and to find out this my heart is broken 💔 love Charity brown

My heart is heavy with this news. I knew Ed only briefly but felt he allowed me to know him well. We met through a mutual friend in Toronto and I had the great pleasure of making music with Ed on a few occasions. I had produced and played a couple of instruments on several songs when Ed came into town to track vocals at my house. I had met him before so I knew I liked him but over the days and weeks we spent recording I got to meet both the artist and the man that was Ed Legal. He was kind and charming - he flirted with my wife and told me I was a luck guy - we both swooned a little. And laughed. Ed was funny as well. His voice was singular. Powerful and vulnerable, sometimes simultaneously, and his words carried a weight that belied their intense fragility. He was also just a guy prone to bouts of intense humanity, sometimes with some artistic flourish. He also, as I recall,  liked to take the piss, as the English say.  I have a very fond memory of tracking Ed singing and doing some of his poetry and, somehow, not having a sufficient beverage supply. Tea and water to start, then whiskey for his voice, a beer just because, something sweet and bubbly, juice - again for his voice, and a coffee to perk him up. I knew he was playing with our mutual friend - who was, and is always a gracious, if in that moment frustrated host, and I loved it.  I feel very fortunate to be able to go to my recordings and call Ed into my life, if only for a moment. Miss you my friend. Love, respect and rock n roll. Peace go with you Brother.

This just doesn’t feel real… 🥺😔😢 I will forever miss your company Ed. Condolences to the family.

Chère Jeannine et famille, nos sincères condoléances à toute votre famille.  La perte d’un enfant est tellement difficile et je sais comment tu aimais et que tu étais fière des tes garçons.  Nous sommes avec toi en pensées.

Beautiful Eddie, I will miss you.  See you again one day. Love from your cousin Rachel

Ed was a big part of my youth. I was with him the first I saw the northern lights and just like the sky that night, Ed had a way of capturing your attention. I will always remember his stories, trivia cards at the truck stop, the goofy way he said popcorn and his laughter. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
RIP Ed
