Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So here I am, in my green shirt.

It's really hard to think about today.

Exactly one year ago today, one of the greatest people I ever knew, and a huge inspiration to me, Edd Gould, passed away after battling cancer.

Some of the words used to describe him could be: Nice, funny, caring, talented, original, and above all, genuine. He was a really great person, and although I only talked to him occasionally through livestream, he was one of the best people I ever knew.

He had an affinity for coke and animating. He loved what he did, and was great at it. To use his own words, he was pretty swell.

I'd considered making an animation to honor him, but I realized today that it would be too hard to do while keeping a calm persona. So instead, I'll honor him by writing this post.

You were an inspiration to people everywhere, Edd, and I'll never forget you.
