Dear ALba family, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Edgar. I attended middle school with him and even being three years behind him, he embraced me when as a sophomore I decided to play rugby. During my first year of rugby this past spring, I had the opportunity to room with Edgar in New Orleans. To my surprise he remembered me from middle school and really looked after me since. I want to give my prayers and sympathies to the family. I know I will miss Edgar's smile and great talent both on and off the rugby field. May God be with you all.

We are praying for God's grace, mercy and peace during this most difficult time for your family.  Take comfort in knowing that your child is in the presence of Jesus and forever in His care.  May God strengthen you and you find joy in the memories of  Edgar.

My deepest sympathies to the Alba family. I was one of Edgar's teachers in 8th grade. He had the kindest heart and always smiled. I pray for peace during this very difficult time.

  I just learned of Edgar's death.  I taught French to Edgar for four years at Christian Brothers High School.  Edgar was a good student and a terrific person.  The students knew that I am liberal politically, and they sometimes wanted to discuss politics (anything to get away from the subject of French), but Edgar always took up for the poor and downtrodden when other students were less tolerant.  He had such a good soul. It was as though he could feel how others who were not in his shoes might also feel.  Edgar had many friends and a certain gentleness of spirit.  I shall pray for his parents and his brother.  I pray that God will walk with each member of the Alba family day by day during this extraordinary time of loss.  I, too, shall be in prayer for my student.

To the family of Edgar:
I only met this young man once but he made a great impression on me. My grandson went to summer camp where he was a counselor & on my grandsons birthday this young man along with Thomas showed up for his birthday party & participated in the jumping events at Pump It Up with my grandson. Mind you this was after he had worked all day. My grandson kept telling us that Edgar & Thomas were coming to his party & we told him nicely that we didn't think he would be able to be there & not to get his hopes up. You see, my grandson was only there for one week & this was on the fourth day of camp. Boy were we wrong...this young man showed up & stayed for the entire party, even brought a gift, a batman costume, stood by him while presents were being opened, helped to put presents in bag & even helped carry stuff out to the car for us! He said he couldn't disappoint Hays, he was a cool little kid! Such COMPASSION in a young man!! I just wanted to share this story with his family to say what a caring & compassionate young man he was. I am truly heartbroken at the turn of tragic events that took this young mans life, he was so excited about his future starting college in the fall. He really had his life together. I hope your family can find peace one day!

Higinio y familia,  con gran tristeza les escribo estas líneas. Edgar fue un gran compañero y amigo de Venanzio., en el colegio y en rugby.  No tenemos palabras, no hay palabras que les podamos dar en estos momentos pero si les podemos decir que estamos con ustedes. Que nuestro Padre y la virgencita les den mucha resignación, les enviamos un gran abrazo.

Que el Senor les de su paz y consuelo y a Edgar el eterno descanso en el cielo.

Our sincere condolences to the entire Alba family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant you peace.

Our hearts are with each of you during this difficult time. We loved Edgar and will always remember what a gentle, respectful, lovely young man he was. It was obvious he was well loved. May you find peace of mind and heart. 

Stephanie, Kevin, and Christopher Wright

My deepest sympathy to the Alba family.  May God bless you all in this very difficult and trying time.

To The Alba Family: We don't know each other, but my son is 1 yr and 9 days older than Edgar, so my heart feels very heavy for your loss of such a young man.  We don't know why God needs our youth in heaven, but as you understand his choice to use Edgar, I pray for your strength and peace as you get through each day, one at a time. With our deepest sympathy...

My condolences to the Alba family. May God be your strength through this time of sorrow. Edgar was a very personable and polite young man. I had the pleasure of knowing and coaching Edgar for the past two years during his Rugby career at CBHS. Edgar was a very talented athlete; a quick shifty runner, a good decision maker, and a hard nosed defender. His positive attitude and determination were attributes admired by the coaches and his teammates. He will be missed by all that knew him.

My deepest condolences to the Alba family. Edgar was a pleasure to be around and a well rounded and polite young man. He picked up the game of Rugby like it was second nature to him and was a talented ball handler, a shifty hard runner, and one of the better defenders on the CBHS club. I will miss him and his positive attitude.

Our deepest sympathy to the Alba family during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.  May God comfort you and give you peace. God Bless You.

Our hearts and prayers are with all of you.  May God hold you in his arms and give you strength and peace during this difficult time.  Please know you have family and friends here for you always.

I wish I could say just the right thing.  Edgar was courteous and respectful, and, though I didn't know him well, always happy to see me because I did what little I could to get him into CBHS.  I was so happy when David followed him. He will always be in my prayers. He was a true Brothers' boy!

Lord please wrap your arms around the Alba family and give them strength in their time of need. In this we pray Amen

I am just heartbroken for your loss. My son and I had the good fortune to work with Edgar and David at camp this summer. I got to spend special time with Edgar helping work on some special projects at camp. He was smart, helpful and so polite. I loved listening to his excitement about his future at UTK, and he was so patient to listen intently to this old woman's stories of her time there. He enjoyed the times we had to bring our beagle to camp and told us how much he loved his beagle too. I will continue to say prayers for your whole family during this difficult time and the months ahead. Clark and I feel so fortunate that our lives were touched by Edgar. If Clark and I can help David or you in anyway please let us know.
