Statement from his family:

Based in Hong Kong for the last two years, Ed had been touring with his rugby team in Bali. He was a keen sportsman, and regularly played rugby, football, hockey and cricket. He was also an accomplished sailor internationally and especially in Ireland.

Ed loved life. Having lived in England, Ireland, Thailand and Hong Kong, he had close friends from all around the world. He loved to travel, and the pages of his passport read like a novel. He was the life and soul of every party. Ed was a generous, warm, spontaneous and energetic person who will be missed by his family and many friends.
