Edgar Rahman (5 Mar 1944 - 6 Jun 2023)

Edgar, I'm finding it hard to find the words as it's so hard to believe you're no longer here, heartbroken is an understatement. You had endured so much pain for so long, I remember saying to Landra not so long ago "that man is as tough as nails, he'll be here for another 20 years". It's hard to sum up such a good man, especially a man I've known for nearly 27 years and had as a 2nd father nearly as long. It's not only the years but the good influence you had and the path you showed. Most don't know but the most important conversation I had in my life, was with you. It was the day I called to ask for your permission to marry Landra. Thankfully you gave me your blessing and welcomed me to the family, 26 years together and 23 married, we're still as happy as ever, thank you. When we first met in Zimbabwe in 2000, you took us on the trip of a lifetime around Zim giving your time, laughter despite your pain, kindness and hospitality-I'll always appreciate it and will never forget that trip. I remember, your face lit up every time you recalled with fondness how hard you laughed on that trip, especially with Stella (RIP). Eish we had a fair few drops (Castle not Bollinger😂) and laughs on that trip😂. You worked so hard all your life from a young age, made a successful career, had businesses and owned properties you rarely see the like of in the UK. But most important to you was your family, the love you showed them and the great life you provided for them was a lesson for us all. On Friday just gone, you would have been be so proud, though brokenhearted, they gave you a fitting send off for a beautiful life well lived. The life lessons you gave us won't be forgotten either - to always greet(I learnt that one the hard way😉), to work hard, to be humble, to lead a good honest life, never tell a lie, to make peace, that there's nothing as important as family(and so many more). I'll miss the chats about football, Liverpool FC, cars (you always loved Mercedes), engines (which I knew nothing about😂), "Mark, never mind the electronics an engine is an engine"😂, westerns and the thousands you had watched over the years and still watched them daily😂, action movies, The News, Politics, Judge Judy😂, the times you would send me downstairs to make myself a cup of tea when you were tired and in pain coz I was talking too much😂. The thing I most treasured was when we visited and just before we left you'd always say "Mark, you're a good man", that always got me and hopefully it meant I was doing a good job in your eyes. Edgar, thank you for everything, our lives and this world have been better for having had you in it. We'll miss you so much and we'll keep living the good life they way you taught us. Your suffering is no more, Rest in Peace Edgar, love Mark.

Edgar I saw you the other day and you were looking forward to us having a beer in the garden together, it was not to be. When we meet again, which we will, I promise the drink's on me. Cheers old friend 🍻

My heart will never heal. My mind will never forget. Your body is gone but your soul will stay with me for the rest of my days. You were my guidance my strength my happiness through everything you have been there.
There will be no more phone calls but I will speak to you everyday.
There will be no more laughter between us but I will smile with you everyday.
There will be no more good night dad but I will dream of you every night.
There will be no more pain but my heart will hurt for you every day.
There will be no more worry of how you are feeling today but I will be comforted to know that you are resting in peace.
There will be no more good morning dad but I will see you everyday
There will be no more bye dad love you
But I will never be without you
In times of darkness and sorrow I will look up to the stars and find you shining bright upon us.
God has taken you home my beautiful father.
I promise I’ll always be there to look after my beautiful mummy that I love so much.
I Love you dad.

Dear Uncle Edgar, you leave the fondest memories of witful, joyful laughter and wise advice. You always brought any situation down to what was important; family, love, peace and humility. You were hard working and an astute businessman; I learnt so much from you. I will miss you terribly - Rest in peace my dear Uncle.

Dad I will always love you and miss you dearly but I will never forget you. May you rest in peace for eternity ❤️❤️❤️

Deepest Condolences to Margie and all the family. Edgar will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Julie, Derek and family (D'Almeida)

My beloved Uncle Edgar ,your death came as a shock to us , u were one of a kind , always adving us never be afraid on taking chances and always there for us whenever we needed u , our family bonds were close , we had a lot of laughter and happy times with the whole family , u will be greatly missed But never forgotten ,you'll always be in our hearts , rest easy uncle. until we meet again.

My one and very dear uncle . You were like a father to me , you taught me what i know , i remember polishing your army boots when i was 7 years young . All my life you wre always there for me, even now i am strong because you gave me strenth and guidiance, i will never ever forget you , i loved you so much, rest easy uncle

My dearest brother, not a single day goes by without missing you. You were taken from us and any time is far too soon, your spirit lingers on in the memories and love that we hold in our hearts. Your contagious laughter, personality and kindhearted spirit will never be forgotten, and your absence is felt deeply. I know you are at peace and know that you will always be loved and missed. Rest in peace, dear brother.

My dear uncle, you are gone yet will never be forgotten, and will forever be in my heart. It always seems like we have all the time in the world. But we don't. I remember your two sayings, "one throw straight" refering to travelling. That there would be no stops on the journey. Also "you are walking smarter than charter with Bata". Unfortunately, the price you pay for having a great-uncle is you get the beautiful memories, the joy, the moments and the laughter– but sadly you get the tears at the end, too. Treasured in my heart, you'll stay, until we meet someday again. Goodbye for now my uncle.
