Ed Headrick passed away early Monday morning (8-12-02), surrounded by his family at his home in La Selva Beach, California.

We at the DGA and Ed's family want to thank the community of people who gave their love and support for Ed. We received a ton of emails that not only lifted Ed's spirits, but helped his loved ones, who read them to Ed conveying your love and support. Ed's family hopes to get back to everyone who emailed and sent their love and get well wishes.

Ed has been in our hearts minute by minute, especially this weekend. We all wished for a miracle that would have had him up and out of bed throwing discs and joking around once again. That miracle that was Ed will have to live on in our hearts and souls now.

The last couple of weeks of Ed's life were filled with the love and support he got from his family and friends and his home was the most peaceful and comfortable place anyone could hope to find themselves.

We thank Ed for all that he has given each of us individually and what he has given the world.

And as Ed wrote in his tribute to Arthur K. “Spud” Melin, “Lock the doors and bar the windows God. You have your hands full.”

We love you Ed and we will miss you!
