I met Ed at John Adams High where he became smitten by me, even as he went to college. He took me to meet his mother and boy, did the three of us have a great time. Ed was very free spirited and very talented. It saddens my heart that he is gone. My condolences to his family and his mother and son❤.

Many fine memories of Ed while we were attending HLG. Ed and I dated for quite a while and had so much fun. He was such a great friend and great basketball player! It is so sad to hear that he has passed at such a young age. Prayers are sent for your mom and family.

My Condolence Mother Sparks and Family. I met Edward in 1973 in Milwaukee when he attend UWM college. We became friends when I learned that he was a Funkadelic Fan! And he knew members in the group. I was a musician as
was I and we later became band members of the Electric Sparks Band. I will have those memories until it's my time

My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Sparks and Ed's son and family. Have known Ed since about the age of 13, and always enjoyed him being around.
He will be sorely missed by our class, John Adams Classes of 1969.
May God ease you through this sad journey, and know that Ed was loved by many.
