Jenni, I'm so sorry to hear Eddie has passed. He was a fun loving spirit. I miss those days we raced against each another, constantly pushing for the ever elusive PR. He will be missed. My condolences go out to your family.
Jenni – We are praying for you . . . that you would have peace, comfort, and strength — now and in the coming days. Eddie was a great guy, and I wish I would have had an opportunity to get to know him better. One of the nicest people I've met! I know you have had many offers to help, but if there is anything you need please do not hesitate to let us know. The Gravetts
Eddie was always positive and a good friend.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Eddie's passing. I know this has been hardest on those closest to him; be comforted in the knowledge that he is now with our Lord, beyond pain, and in the company of friends and loved ones. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Jenni..you are in my thoughts and prayers. Eddie was one of a kind…I miss him. -Jason, Ava, Jake Berend
This is what I wrote in The Phast Times News. FAST EDDIE An Appreciation I've made a little bit of space, here, for a friend of mine I lost this weekend. A little bit of space for a little guy with a big smile and a bigger heart who I never got to feature in The Phast Times News, though he deserved it, or run with him enough. I can't get his face out of my mind. I see him laughing and pensive, between thoughts. Eddie Pascacio was a nice guy. He was kind to everyone around him, even if they treated him bad or said something that hurt. He was very humble. Few knew he was asked to play professional soccer, here in Dallas, no less. …I miss him already. I can't remember how I met him. Eddie was always there, running with us. I was training Scott Huggins for his first marathon in Chicago '98, when Eddie joined in. I thought it would be good for Scott to have a training partner to share the weight of the miles and fatigue. Eddie was good. Real good. He could take a beating and never really told you how hard it was on him. His black thick hair and olive skin from Sicilian ancestors would give no quarter. Only later would it leak out of him as part of another story. It was by accident that he let it slip that after our 4 am runs at Norbuck Park for tempo runs or Flag Pole Hill for hill repeats, his usual breakfast was junk food. A carton of chocolate milk, and an entire box of white powdered donuts, almost daily, and he was still losing weight. He did his first 100 mile week under me then, alongside Scott. It was brutal. But the two of them were bonded at the hip, and were like two soldiers preparing for, not battle, but the whole war. They were sore and tired, and questioned their own sanity as well as mine. But they wanted more of it, what ever it was, apparently living by Friedrich Nietzsche's quote, "That which doesn't kill me, makes me stronger." They would have drank battery acid if I asked them. Eddie was generally quiet, never the center of attention, but always part of what was going on; the good, the bad, or the ugly. He met Jenni when I was coaching both. They married a few years later and continued to run and stay active. He doted on her, and she on him. He loved their dogs, talking about them a lot. Eddie recently started coming back to TNT-Tuesday Night Track again, after many years off. He wanted to be in shape again. His email address was "Run Fast Ed." He was one of the stalwarts of the workouts, 10 years before. He willingly sacrificed his own workouts to help some others I was coaching, who, because of his humility, couldn't really appreciate the talent that he was, and still could have been. They were too caught up in their own drama and world to really notice the sweet guy Eddie was to everyone. …To everyone. He shared himself with us all. …I don't think I ever saw him in anything but running shoes. As Dennis Chupp said, "Run fast, Eddie. Run fast." PTN Chris and Janalou Phelan
My heart continually aches over the loss of my companion, best friend and soul mate… I still cannot believe he is gone… Though I am constantly reminding myself to celebrate what we had as I know it was really special. I am so thankful for every moment of the time we shared though I wish it could have been much longer. We always thought we would be together for a very long time and would pass together at a very old age, just like in the The Notebook. He is the love of my life, my soulmate and he will always be in my heart. I will miss him EVERY day of my life. Eddie is in a better place where the suffering has ended and where he can have eternal happiness. I look forward to the day that I can join him again and be by his side. I am sure he was greeted by his grandparents, family and friends who have passed before him and that he loves dearly. Thank you all for the love, support and prayers. We love you all and are so thankful for each and every one of you. Jenni
Eddie will always be missed and forever be in our hearts. Eddie's passion for life was seen everyday through his smile. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this diffucult time.
Jenni – Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Eddie was a great guy and we'll always remember his big smile! May your memories of the happy times help you deal with your loss. Ron and Celeste
My heart is heavy at this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I met Eddie for the first time back in 1998 and I can not recall a time that I did not see him smiling or laughing. He truly was a happy person. We all can rest assured that he is still happy although he will be greatly missed. Blythe and I are sorry for your loss.
