I was shocked to hear just this week about Ed's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed and getting to know him through working on an East Texas patent case. Ed was our opponent but he was a pleasure to know and work with in every way. He was as smart as can be, a true professional, a real gentleman, and always a lot of fun to be around. He sure loved his family so I know you will be missing him a lot. Please know that my thoughts are with you.

I still keep the texts that Ed and I shared on my phone. His humor, dreams and passion for people was always at the forefront of all our discussions. He was one of the most alive people I have ever had the honor of knowing and still almost a month since this tragedy, still feel it happened only yesterday.
Ed, I'll miss a future of friendship and brotherhood with you. You were a kind, decent and honorable man and I miss you greatly.
God speed dear friend.

My dear Ilsa & Family;
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I only knew Ed when I was in grade school and High School and he was always a standup human being. He was always a stellar example to his siblings including my dear friend Ilsa. He always made it fun when Ilsa had her friends over to the Exeter house! (p.r.'s) He has obviously touched so many people throughout his 44 years and accomplished so much more than a man his age. Ed, I think it's safe to say, "You made 'em proud".

I don't remember exactly how I met Ed, but he was a freshman at Baylor when I was a senior...He asked me to an SAE function and we went and had a nice time. Years later (about in 88 or 89) I ran into him at the Marshall courthouse when he was clerking for Sam Hall. We later went to dinner to "catch up". (seem like I vaguely remember him asking me what I wanted to accomplish in the next 5 years??!!) We lost contact again, but he had my address and I would get these hilarious Christmas Top 10 letters from him every year. Gosh, they were so funny! I later married and he would address them to me as "Mikalene Sutton and world famous children Skylar, Slade and Cayman." When my daughter was born 11 years ago he and Susan gifted her with a pink Bible that she still carries to this day. When I looked in the Longview paper on the Thursday before his funeral on Saturday I gasped when I saw his obituary. Memories came flooding back and I just stood there in shock. I couldn't believe that Ed was gone. Nothing could have kept me from attending his funeral....It was the most inspirational and uplifting service I have ever attended..Dear God, there was so much grief and tears, but it was so powerful...I wish everyone I knew (even if they didn't know Ed) could have attended. It just made you realize that life is SHORT people!!! Only God knows how many days that are left for each of us!!! With faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are promised everlasting life with Him in Heaven. Ed died in his prime unfortunately, but he is in Heaven with Jesus. He will be sorely missed but each of us are better people for having known such a good and gregarious man.

Beth and I were shocked to read of the untimely passing of Ed when we read his obituary in the paper this past week. We both have fond memories of his ready smile, eagerness to help anyone out who needed a hand and his quick wit. We are saddened by his passing but rest assured that our paths will meet again as he is present with our Heavenly Father and no doubt already implementing a new strategy and plan for how Heaven can be run better, be more efficient and provide a lot more laughter to its current and future residents. Godspeed, Ed. You will be sorely missed by everyone who had the blessing of knowing you. Beth (Nance) and Peyton Smith

As I attended Ed's service on Saturday, I kept wondering-What lessons that only Ed's Passing could teach me? Although, I have learned so many things from Ed during our brief time together working in the Dallas Office, the main and most important lesson he taught me was not live your life in fear. Ed was not afraid to live his life with great passion and conviction. He was not afraid to stand up for people and issues in which injustice was a threat. Mainly and most importantly, Ed was never afraid to say the three most eloquent words in the universe to people "I LOVE YOU". For me and I suspect for many others, those are the most frightening words to say to anyone, yet they are the most powerful and beautiful words to hear. So I thank you so much Ed for not only teaching me that lesson but also living it. To the Von Hohn family, my thoughts and prayers are with you and thank you for shaping Ed into the man that he is and will always be...for that, I am blessed and a better person for knowing and loving him. Strength and Honor Ed!

To the VonHohn family, I send my love and blessings during this difficult time... Through Ed, we have all become family. That was and is the magic of Edward... he magnetized people together, their ideas, their dreams.. Above all, he wanted the lives of those around him to be better. Imperfect, Ed was something more important... he was loving, generous and above all else, UNIQUE. I hope to one day be the man Ed already was... Agora Entertainment will carry his spirit, that is what he left all of us with. "we shall prevail, we shall not be denied, we shall be victorious!" EVH

Anyone who ever knew Ed would tell you they could live 2 or 3 lifetimes and never meet another soul like Ed Hohn. He was a beautiful mess of a man, with rough edges and idiosyncracies aplenty and more energy and joie de vivre than any dozen other mere mortals could ever muster. His friendship enveloped you like a warm blanket, and he broke down barriers and drew close together disparate personalities better than anyone I've known. Ed was Texas through and through - Texas in the sense that everything about him was big -big dreams, big ideals, big plans, and, most of all, a big heart. It's fitting that Ed's last endeavors were focused on making movies, because movies & Ed had one critical component in common - the willing suspension of disbelief. Like the cinema, being around and with Ed required the willing suspension of disbelief - in your mind, at an intellectual level, you just knew Ed's lofty goals and wild schemes could never come to pass - in your heart, you knew they damn sure would, if only because Ed willed them to life, nurtured them, refused to let them do anything other than flourish, amaze, and overwhelm. Ed suffered all alike - the fool and the wise, rich and poor, powerful and weak. He knew no caste, and he disdained the stifling rigors of social order, status, and convention. Ed knew the power of the iconic, the symbol, the theme - he deployed these rhetorical triggers with the fervor of a big-tent revivalist and the integrity of a battlefield commander - always in front, always unguarded, always welcoming the attack with open arms. The Miracle on Ice, the Depression-era boxer, the historic battle - he studied each impossible triumph against impossible odds, and deployed every lesson he learned. Ever the underdog, Ed would not have known what to do with the upper hand - the lack of a challenge would have bored him. He was gracious in defeat, humble in victory. While he could fight like hell when called upon to do so, he loved peace far more than strife, and even in controversy and bitter dissent he pursued the middle ground, so long as it could be found without the compromise of principle. Ed carried his plans for world domination in one field or another on a series of bedraggled, scribbled-on napkins and on the back of take-out menus, cryptic notes and footnotes and postscripts and arrows pointing here and there and all of it actually, somehow, incredibly, making sense. He was a lover and fanatic of technology - not for its own sake, but for its power to unleash human potential. Ed was a passionate patriot, American to the core, yet his vision was never confined to 50 states and one continent. He cared. He cared what you thought, what you feared, and what you dreamed of. Ed could literally wring blood from a stone - when you were on his team, he made you want to be better than you were, do more than you could, and accomplish all you never imagined possible. He was not limited to one world - he was as gifted in the law as the boardroom, in the arts as in politics. Ed seemed always to be searching, and yet, at the same time, at peace, happy, and comfortable in his own life and circumstances. Although he faced challenges and setbacks enough to crush most, his was an indomitable spirit. I will miss him dearly, and I am a far better person for having been his friend and colleague. Although his passing is sad, Ed's soul, presence, and persona were always oversized for just one man, and Edward Lewis Von Hohn, Esq., will be with us for a long, long time.

Eithteen years ago two young men walked into our church and thus began the friendship with Ed and Kris. Ed was interning for our neighbor, Judge Sam B. Hall, Jr. and Kris moved here to be with Ed and finish school. We all have such fond memories of these two brothers. I am praying now for you siblings, mother and father,as you grieve and mourn the loss of your brother and son. I too have lost a brother at a young age and know the feeling of shock and loss. May Jesus be your comforter and strength and may you be drawn to Him as you face the days ahead. With a sudden loss like this, it makes you realize what is most important in this brief life of ours. To know Jesus as your Savior and that we will be forever in glory with Him and other believers is the only thing that really matters in this life. God Bless you and we love you dearly.

My heartfelt and sincere thoughts to Ed's family and friends. I met Ed in 1983 at Baylor and have corresponded with him sporadically via email. In my mind, he is a young, blonde-headed, eager freshman from Arizona with a smile on his face and a laugh ready to erupt. I will keep all of y'all in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed was a passionate leader who embraced life and sought to inspire others. Whether it was a rousing speech about goal setting at an SAE smoker (remember the pilot speech?), or imparted words of wisdom to me about law clerkships, important classes to take, or how to survive finals week or pass the bar, Ed was about the business of helping others. I have many fond memories of Ed and know that my life was enriched from having known him and called him a friend.

I was honored to have personally served Ed as his exeutive assistant during his last months at Nix, Patterson & Roach, LLP. Ed was full of energy a hand full :) and I loved every bit of his enthusiasm. I last saw him a week or so before his passing; during that day he shared the many projects he had lined up in the last few months, one whom he was so proud of was the Global Centurion, Happy and not surprised of his so far accomplishments, I asked Ed, "How do you manage all of this and do so well with it" His response, "First of all Bel, (while pointing his right index finger in the air) you have to "believe" in what you are doing, the rest just falls into place". On Thursday evening, Feb 5th around 8ish I texted him, we chatted back and forth about my son's casting audition we had just completed for the film he was working on. He last wrote, "Ravi would be awesome"; which filled my heart with happiness just to know that he believed in my son's abilities. The next morning, I learned of his passing, I was in complete shock and was unable to take a breath....devastated I still am. Ed had many great attributes which made him the great man he was; most importantly, he had a big heart and was very good in bringing out the best in people. He loved people and he felt the need to help all. He always meant well even when things didn't go as planned, he ALWAYS meant well. Forever Ed Hohn holds a special place in my heart. My most highest and sincere condolences to his family.

I was very sad to hear today of the news about Ed. Like his other Baylor friends, I have great memories of Ed - his passion, his overt friendliness, and his zest for life. He never met a stranger and always wanted to get to understand a person's story and their point of view. It was gratifying to read that he was still doing that 20 years later. Like Cory, I also remember his military strategies for our "capture the flag" night as pledges. He had on full war paint regalia as he led us to victory. I also have great memories of deep, philosophical conversations - typically over a beer at George's. You knew when you sat down with Ed you were going to get an original point of view that was well thought out.
Later I always looked forward to his always interesting Christmas newsletter as I followed his life from afar. I have not talked to him in ~10 years and am very sorry we did not reconnect before the events of last week. I will remember Ed fondly.

I met Ed when he was a federal law clerk. He was refreshingly forthright and "humble" for such a position, but that's not why I remembered him later in the work world. He was hilarious! Honestly, he could have been as successful in comedy as he was in law.
I later defended a large case against his firm in Daingerfield, and he made the drive through East Texas worth my time. I'm sure he later moved, but in his early years he lived in a "cabin" out on the lake with a dog or two. It didn't look like much to the rest of us, but he couldn't have been prouder.
My fondest memories involve his Christmast cards. My entire staff of paralegals would gather to read his annual offering, and they were clever. I also recall his wedding annoucement, and the photo of Ed, his bride, and the canine honor attendant.
Today I am sad that my life/career and Ed's crossed paths so seldom in the last several years. I'm glad that I got to hear his pride in his children, but wish that I could have spent more time just talking with him. It was always interesting, because Ed was often interested in non-traditional topics. It was always amazing how many issues would be broached while having lunch. Years ago I kidded him about being a Renaissance Man, and he said he hadn't experienced enough, or lived long enough, to deserve the title---but he strived for it!
Ed was well known for having "opinions" on a lot of topics, but he was always interested in the opinions of others as well.
He was a credit to our profession, and to every endeavor he attempted or accomplished. I am sorry he did not get to complete his movie project.

It was with great sadness that I received the news of Ed’s passing, having just reestablished contact with him several weeks ago after more that 15 years.
Having lived with Ed for two years in college, you get to know each other pretty well. We shared some great memories together over those few years. I first met Ed our freshman year out on the street in front of our dorm when he showed up in his vintage British MG coop (which by the way he drove from Arizona by himself with all his gear) similar to the Triumph convertible that I had. After a short discussion where we determined our many similar interest, cars and girls, we were thick as thieves.
One of my greatest memories of Ed was a two week trip we took our sophomore year down to the Sea of Cortez on the Baja Peninsula. On the outset of that trip, Ed proclaimed that he thought we could survive the two weeks solely on things caught, speared or harvested from the Sea, a la Lord of the Flies. Given his always enthusiastic zest and unstoppably optimistic attitude, I quickly agreed. We pretty much did it, with the exception of Mexican Beer, which was on our college budget at the time. This trip coupled with the Capture the Flag night for our pledge class (where Ed unleashed a military strategy far more complicated than any freshman could actually execute) will go down as only two of many great memories of Ed.
In the great global Sea of monotony and homogeneity where following the herd is always the easiest path and independent thinking is rare, Ed will go down as one of the greats. Intense no doubt, but always gregarious and fun loving like no other; He will be genuinely missed on this earth by many. God speed Ed, I will miss you.

While we were dying of starvation and lack of REM sleep during pledging, Ed kept us going with his contagious enthusiasm. He was always laughing. All you had to do to get him wound up was doubt him. He'd get bug-eyed and scream "I'M SERIOUS". I'll miss you buddy and I always smile when I think about you.

I only met Ed once but it was an experience I'll never forget. He displayed more energy than a high school basketball team. His rapid fire insight and comments kept us all thinking...and laughing. By the time he left us, he had all of our pictures taken and we knew his whole life story up through the previous day.
I'm sorry about his passing and hoped to get to know him even better. He was a magical person with an unforgettable persona. He made every day count! My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Ed has such an inspiring spirit. His endless generosity and disarmingly kind nature is what he will remembered for. He and his multiple personalities were a constant source of entertainment and laughter. What was so inspiring about Ed is that he saw the heart of people and always believed in their full potential, even if no one else could see it. He had Passion. I want you to know the profound impact you've had on me, Ed. Your words are with me.

Ed sent me a text message early Thursday morning as he was boarding a plane, saying he would be at LAX by 9 a.m. Right around that time, he texted me again and told me he was about to rent a car and drive to my house in Corona del Mar, and it wasn’t long before that when I found out that he was “in route.”
Ed arrived at my house around 10 a.m. on Thursday morning. My phone rang and it was him telling me he was outside. As I came out I saw Ed approaching the house wearing his trademark hat and boots and smoking a brown cigarette. Although the cigarette was almost new I could see his effort of avoiding going into my house while still smoking as he quickly got rid of it after only two or three puffs. Inside, he seemed curious about our modest beach cottage. Anyone with Ed’s lifestyle could refer to this place as a small and cramped little house, but as I gave Ed the 5-cent tour, he seemed interested in every aspect of our small house including my kids’ room and even every photograph on the wall. I asked him if he was hungry and he said yes, so I suggested that rather than going to a regular restaurant, we should go to one of our local breakfast cafes. He seemed to love the idea and we jumped into my electric beach cart, buckled up, and took a two minute ride to Rose’s Cafe. Ed seem to enjoy the ride as much as my kids’ friends do. Once there he ordered a breakfast deluxe burrito and two Perrier’s. I bumped into my friend Vicky, a mom of one my kid’s friends, and as I introduced her to Ed, she seemed shocked to have Ed give her a hug as if he had known her forever, and seem genuinely interested in knowing her story. Ed and I sat down outside at an umbrella table and ate our meal while chatting about our movie project. He would throw out ideas about the film but he always made sure I knew they were just ideas and never things he would want to force on anyone. His natural curiosity was only matched by his humility. We talked about his partner Jace, the man he trusted completely when it came to projects to work on and whose decisions he seriously respected, even if he disagreed with them at one time or another. When it came time to make a decision, “I do what Jace says,” he said while devouring his meal. He felt very safe with Jace as a partner. After we finished eating I drove him to what I call “my office,” which is a public bench at the edge of Lookout Point in Corona del Mar, a raised point above the harbor entrance, from where you can admire sailboats on their way in and out, the beach, and a view that, on a good day like Thursday was, would allow you to see for miles down the coast. We sat and put our feet up on a metal railing, which was the only thing between us and a 50 foot drop to the sea. Ed seemed tired, but blamed it on the early flight from Dallas, and he would look at the view from every angle he could and he admired Catalina Island 26 miles across the water. We were there for a good hour as we chatted mostly about movies, my passion and Ed’s curiosity. He mentioned that he hoped our movie would be just the first one of many he would want to do that would address social issues he cared about. During the last few months I had learned about his passion about making things right for people who are not as lucky as some. From an enterprise like Global Centurion, to making a movie that could make us think, Ed wanted to make a difference in this world, period. We sat there until he said, “I could do this all day, but I’m going to fall asleep here.” We drove back to the house and sat on our couch and he asked me if I would consider Morgan Freeman as our main character. Amazing idea, I thought, but Freeman was probably too busy or expensive to get, yet Ed never seemed intimidated by anything, everything was always a possibility. After a few minutes he rose from the couch and I walked him to his car. He hugged me as I made fun of him for not reading more scripts I have given him, but he said he had read so much in his law career that now he tried to avoid doing so much reading. Ed hugged me again. “I’ll come again soon, but I still need to get you up to the studio,” he said as he drove off and waved good-bye. I think many people may wonder what Ed’s last day was like. I feel honored that I was able to share a couple of hours with him and that we both spent sometime together looking out from the bluff and into the blue earth in Ed’s last day on it. I will miss him.

We will continue to work hard and keep his passion of storytelling alive. He instilled confidence in each of us and a mission to be excellent. I am so thankful to have known him. Ed- I love you and will miss you always.
