Edwin 'Eddy' Alexander Maxwell (6 Jan 1958 - 28 Jun 2023)

Dear Jenny,

Bernadette and I only just realised yesterday that our dear Eddy passed away in June. We came across the documentary on BBC1 last night by accident and we were really stunned beyond words.

Eddy was a real gentleman and we shall miss him dearly.
Jenny, I hope you and the rest of the family will continue to have the strength to bear this loss.

Bernadette and I along with our family (Kemi, Jason and our 4 grandchildren)would like to pay our belated condolences to you all.

May the Almighty continue to grant this gentleman eternal peace.

I ONLY LEARNT TODAY OF THE PASSING OF THIS BEAUTIFUL GENTLEMAN, ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET,A TRUE GENTLEMAN, AND UTTERLEY PROFESSIONAL. MY FATHER AND MOTHER, MR AND MRS HOLLYFIELD HAD THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR MR MAXWELL WHO TOGETHER WITH HIS TEAM, DID A LOT OF WORK FOR US AND ONCE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WELCOMING MR MAXWELL, MRS MAXWELL AND CHILDREN IN FOR A CUP OF TEA. MR MAXWELL WAS SO, SO PROUD OF HIS FAMILY AND WERE ALWAYS MENTIONED IN CONVERSATION ON EACH VISIT. I AM DEVISTATED TO HEAR THE NEWS, BE PROUD JENNY, AS HE WAS OF ALL OF YOU.

Jennifer, I was so sorry to hear about Edwin from April. For a few years I have been thinking I must try and find you both. In fact every time I look at the photograph of Edwin and your son in their dinner jackets when they came to the Lincoln Butchers Dinner Dance with me. How smart, handsome and dashing (I think are the words one would use) they both look, especially next to me. We lost contact when Edwin was Area President for the builders industry, I presume he just got too busy. Such a shame, it would be good to be in contact again, email me or perhaps turn up to the Speakers Club one night. There are still a few people that remember your attendance. Our thoughts are with you and the family. - Martin

So shocked and sorry to hear we have lost this lovely man. My heartfelt sympathy to Jennifer and the family.

Eddie was a beautiful soul and he surely must be proud following a celebration of his earthly life. So many inspiring family and friends spoke a loving truth of a life full of truth and charity. Alexander your children were a true image of his greatest qualities.God bless you pal will always miss you till we meet again. Guides us all to a charitable world.

It's a great loss for Eddy's family, friends, and neighbours. May his soul rest in peace. Even though I only met Eddy once, I was touched by his kindness and care. I can only imagine how much he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Sincerest condolences Jenny, Kala, Iesha and family we are thinking of you on this sad occasion that the good Lord will comfort and give you strength. Eddy has gone far too soon, he was loved dearly and always there for everyone. Farewell our dear friend Eddy rest in eternal heavenly peace.

What can I say?

Words cannot begin to express what Eddie meant to me and my family.

Love..in action is what he represented.
Another big brother and friend. A supporter. A guide. Reliable. Honest. Educated. A family man. Someone who supported and strived to improve his community.

Faith, hope and love are all qualities that we all hunger for. Love being the quality that perhaps rings the loudest bell in all of us..and at times the most difficult to uphold.
Eddie demonstrated Love! He will never leave my consciousness or my conversation!

Jen, Kala and Aiesha we will be here for you as the days draw longer and time moves forward.

My heart is with you all in your time of sorrow with the sad news of Edwin's passing. The loss of such a wonderful person. Gone but surely will not be forgotten. Wishing you all peace and strength during this difficult time.

"Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy master’s joy."

The voice at midnight came,
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell, but felt no fear.

His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight,
Ready that moment, at command,
Through rock and steel to smite.

Bent on such glorious toils,
The world to him was loss,
Yet all his trophies, all his spoils,
He hung upon the cross.

At midnight came the cry,
"To meet thy God prepare!"
He woke and caught his Captain's eye,
Then strong in faith and prayer.

His spirit with a bound,
Left its encumbering clay;
His tent at sunrise on the ground,
A darkened ruin lay.

The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life’s long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.

Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run
Rest in thy Savior’s joy.
James Montgomery
