Edison passed away suddenly on April 9, 2024 at Health Sciences Center, at the age of 46 years. He had taken-on and vowed to defeat many challenges in life but his opportunity was taken from him prematurely. He was loved by many.

He was predeceased by grandparents on both sides and survived by his parents, Leslie and Lorris; Brothers, Deno, Donovan, Shawn, Colin; Daughter Khataleina, and nephews Aaron, Triton, Zael and Arius along with many aunties, uncles, and cousins from Canada, the US, the caribbean, and South America from the Erskine, Penniston, and Knights families.

Edison was born in Winnipeg, went to Maples Collegiate and completed culinary courses at Red River College.

The family is especially thankful to the nurses, doctors, and staff at the Health Science Centre and for the outpouring of support from the community and from the many friends he made through his life.
