EDIT:
Edd's Memorial Service
1 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7th.
The Sentimental Lady
36509 Jefferson Ave (corner of Crocker Blvd)
Harrison Township, MI.
Edd Sidebottom, I wish we hadn't grown apart. Of course, it's easy to say that now that you're gone.
I'll have a drink or two in your memory tonight.
I wish the best for his the wife and children he left behind.
Edd grew up next door to me and subsequently, we were best friends up til high school. We slowly drifted apart during that time as our interests and friends intersected less and less.
Regardless, shortly after high school I invited him to play drums for my industrial band, f1lam3nt. He was eager to participate and eventually ended up writing vocals for the track, Betrayed, and even played keyboards during a set at Jacoby's (now 313.Jac).
f1lam3nt didn't last long (enough). Edd went on to play in Scape Film's Falling Apart, as Georgie (see: cast). Shortly after that, he fronted the local rock band, Brink of Life. He maintained that bands Myspace page as his personal blog.
I always knew Edd to be a very creative and caring person. If I can find any more information, I'll post it here. AT THIS TIME: I cannot find any obituaries.
I grabbed the above photo from gooddave and added the text. Thanks, Dave.

What a horrible thing. I really feel bad for not keeping up on his blogs.
I just found out from Dave. I'm in shock. I know there were some things going on with him (as per his myspace bulletins and blogs) but I never thought it would come to this.
Let me know if you hear of any services.
I'm very saddened by this. I remember some personal conversations we had back in 2003 during the filming of Falling Apart, but now it's 5 years later and he's gone.
I'm really sorry for your loss, Josh. I know you knew him pretty well growing up. Take care, man. We have some good memories of him, I know that much.
Edd was simply one of the nicest people that I've ever met. Rarely does anyone look right into your eyes when having a conversation... but I remember that every time I looked at Edd, he was looking right back at me with a smile... seemingly hanging on my every word. I think that said a lot about Edd's genuine nature. I will miss him very much for this, and for his desire to be my friend without any conditions attached, ever.
Just a couple of pictures of Edd on my web site from many years back:
