Edd Gould (Eddsworld)

"Oh yes, Edward Duncan Ernest Gould, but please don't be serious about this guys, but he's dead, for real".

--Su Ji-Hoon, Battle for the YouTubers

Edward Duncan Ernest Gould, (28 October 1988 – 25 March 2012) was a British animator, artist, writer, director, and voice actor. He was best known for creating Eddsworld, a media franchise consisting of flash animations and web comics featuring fictionalised versions of himself and longtime collaborators Thomas Ridgewell, Matt Hargreaves and others. After Gould's death in 2012, production of Eddsworld was passed on to Ridgewell and later Hargreaves.

Gould died from a recurring infection caused by the cancer on the morning of 25 March 2012. Ridgewell and Hargreaves announced Gould's death in a short video, "RIP Edd Gould (1988–2012)", two days later. The funeral was held on 10 April at All Saints' Church in Isleworth, where a eulogy compiled from video clips from fans and friends was shown. The last episode he directed for Eddsworld, "Space Face (Part 1)", was released on YouTube on 2 June 2012. Eddsworld production passed to Ridgewell who continued to produce episodes as part of Gould's will. Under Ridgewell's direction, profits went to CLIC Sargent (now Young Lives vs Cancer), a UK cancer charity supporting children, young people and their families.

in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, after he dies from a reccurring explosion during World War III, BG and Ruby Ramirez cremated him and later buried his ashes.

after Edd's death, BG went on to try and bring him back from the dead, but it did not work out for her as she stayed in the Military as long as she could live.
