Simon Edwards
xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx
It’s with a heavy heart that I have to share some very sad news about our colleague and friend Simon Edwards. Tragically he passed away in the night from a heart attack. He was only 51 years young, and leaves a new wife and loving family. He was such a knowledgeable and experienced Solution Engineer and security transformation architect in the in the truest meaning of the role, and his passion for cyber security and understanding the motivation of the organisations behind the cybercrime was second to none. He helped mentor many employees, was a regular expert called-on to offer opinions on BBC Radio, and an example to us all in the industry, having worked at multiple major security companies over the years including Symantec and Trend Micro. Simon will be missed by all that new him; intelligent, good-natured and funny.

Very shocked and sad to hear the passing of Simon. I’ve known Simon from a work point of view. He was a very good Cyber Security engineer/ solution architect. I first met him in integralis days, back in late 1990s. He was very good with customers and partners. He will be missed by a large community of similar cyber security colleagues. RIP

I first met Simon 4 years ago following the Symantec acquisition. First impressions weren't false, totally passionate about his craft, deep expertise and good fun on customer calls. A terrible loss to the team and a tragedy for his family and friends, to whom I send my sincere condolences.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Simon's family and I am truly sorry for your loss. I met Simon many years ago when he was working at ISS and more recently I had the opportunity to work and learn from him whilst at Trend Micro. Simon had such passion and energy in everything he did and his technical knowledge was second to none. Simon will be missed and never forgotten, may his soul rest in peace.

My most sincere condolences to all of Simon's family and friends. Simon was one of those rare individuals that excelled not only in technical knowledge and appreciation of how to apply this to achieve a desired outcome, but also in the ability to understand and relate to people and empathise with the problems they needed his help with. I always knew I could rely on Simon's diligence, integrity and expertise and that he'd always look to deliver an optimal customer outcome no matter how challenging the situation or the people involved. It was a privilege to have worked with him for these last few years and my deepest sympathies are with his family.
