Natalya Wright shares a sweet tribute to her ‘one of a kind’ grandfather Eddie following his tragic death aged 92
Natalya Wright posted a touching homage to her grandpa Eddie, who sadly passed away at the age of 92 last Thursday.
24-year-old social media figure posted several pictures on Instagram, showcasing her unique family member whom she affectionately referred to as one-of-a-kind.
On Tuesday, it was verified by a representative of Natalya’s sibling, Mark, that Eddie had peacefully departed in the comfort of his home with his cherished ones around him.
Natalya shared various recollections about her father, including one where he assisted her in learning to ride a bicycle.
In another photo, Grandfather received a sweet peck on the cheek from Natalya, who was wearing an elegant gown.
Apart from that, she additionally posted an old photo showing them celebrating one of her birthdays together, with a beautiful three-layered blue cake in their hands.
In addition to her lovely album, she wrote: “Heaven now includes one exceptionally cherished angel, a legendary figure and our entire family’s HERO. Sadly, we said goodbye to our grandad Eddie on Monday evening at the ripe age of 92.”
For years, I’ve been anxiously anticipating this day, as the thought of life without you is unbearably painful. Yet, it’s our cherished memories that sustain me, offering a comforting balm during these challenging times. Sharing weekends with you and insisting on our impromptu opera performances on the step ladder are memories I hold dear. I’ll forever remember those moments.
‘From persistently encouraging me to learn bike-riding, even if we always had to inform grandma that I hadn’t managed yet, to never failing to bring home my cherished collectable magazine each Friday evening after work – a keepsake I still treasure as a symbol of our shared moments.’
You were an extraordinary grandfather, a fact that many would wholeheartedly affirm. Indeed, you were an exceptional individual, full of kindness, compassion, and selflessness, making you one of the most remarkable men anyone could encounter.
‘The impact you have left on so many shows this, they simply don’t make them like you anymore.
I was fortunate enough to stand with you till the last moment, a memory I’ll cherish forever. I deeply miss you and those comforting, powerful embraces of yours. I’m already missing you terribly and will continue to do so eternally. With love, your ever-devoted little effol mush ♥️
Natalya paid a heartfelt homage to her cherished grandfather Eddie, who passed away at the ripe age of 92, after Jess Wright had expressed a moving tribute to the same.
Previously known TOWIE celebrity, aged 39, posted a collection of photos on Instagram featuring her grandfather. She expressed that the loss of him left her heart shattered once more following his demise.
In the photos Jess posted, there were pictures of Eddie accompanying her during her wedding ceremony, along with heartwarming snapshots from various stages of her childhood.
Jess expressed her feelings in a lengthy message saying, “I wish I could hug you and be hugged back just as tightly once more. The loss of my grandfather has left my heart shattered yet again.
Since the moment I first encountered you, there was never any question that you would become my dearest friend. If one were to define ‘legend’ and ‘hero’ in a dictionary, it would undoubtedly refer to Grandad Eddie – a fact that everyone recognized and fills me with immense pride. Regrettably, such extraordinary individuals as you are becoming increasingly rare nowadays.
Your kindness, selflessness, compassionate nature, and radiant smile, along with your unquestionable affection for your loved ones, will be etched in our memories forever. You have truly set an exemplary standard for gentlemen everywhere.
Oh, what an indescribable joy and gratitude I hold in my heart for you! The English ceremony where you gave me away felt like a moment etched into the very fabric of the universe itself. It truly meant everything to me. Thank you for simply being you – your kindness, love, and spirit have always been a beacon that guided me.
I can still vividly remember those enchanting nights as a little girl, living under the same roof with you, and snuggling up on your lap as we watched reruns of Only Fools & Horses again and again. Those moments were priceless treasures that I carry with me everywhere I go.
You helped me draft a letter to the BBC, hoping to meet David Jason, which fortunately we never sent – I’ll cherish that unwritten letter forever. Just as you used to laugh at the same jokes from ‘Only Fools and Horses’ every time I made you watch them, and carried me up and down the stairs daily. You still make me smile with those memories.
Instead of dousing water on me to rouse me, repeatedly acting out cowboy scenes in the kitchen despite being tired of it, consistently driving and dropping me off at school, ensuring I was never late – a feat that surprised everyone.
Thank you so much, Grandad, for always making us laugh with your charmingly broken Spanish. We appreciate every moment of it, even as you bid us farewell. A big thank you for everything.”
In this sentence, I tried to maintain the original meaning and tone, but made some adjustments to make it more natural and easy to read. I also added a bit of warmth and appreciation in the last part to convey the emotions behind the message.
You held a special place in our family’s heart, and nothing will ever replace that void. My love for you transcends the limits of language, dearest grandfather. I eagerly look forward to seeing you again someday, longing for another warm embrace. ❤️
Last June, Eddie, who had previously been a champion boxer and paramedic, ended up in the hospital following a fall. His loved ones quickly made their way to support him during this challenging time.
On Father’s Day, I took to Instagram to share a special message about my dear father, Big Mark Wright. Despite being in the hospital due to a recent fall, he’s still the best. I may not be with him physically right now, but I want him to know that I’m making my way up there as we speak. Stay strong, Dad. I love you. XXX
For several years, Eddie has often found himself under the spotlight within the Wright family, with one significant instance being his collaboration with his grandson Mark on the BBC show “Who Do You Think You Are?” in 2019.
TOWIE star Mark revealed his grandfather was his motivation for going on the show, explaining:
I’ve long been curious about our ancestry, since my grandfather often speculated about our origins. Yet, no one in the family has ever been able to confirm it.
It’s wonderful to return the news about our heritage to him, as we learned he is Italian. He has been incredibly generous towards us; indeed, he is like a king in our eyes.
‘It’s hard to repay him but this was that moment before it’s too late.’
In the program, Mark characterized Eddie as a former hard-hitting British boxing champion, yet on the other hand, he is a kind and gentle soul.
During the program, Mark uncovered numerous details about his paternal relatives since he shared with the audience their upbringing in London’s East End.
My great-great grandfather, although somewhat of a rogue from the East End, primarily engaged in petty thefts. His actions were driven by a desire to provide for his loved ones.
Originally, he resided in East Ham with eight children in a small dwelling. Initially, I found him questionable, but later on, I recognized the goodness within him. To join the military, he deceived about his age, yet he proved to be an exceptional soldier.
Additionally, Mark openly showed his affection for Eddie while broadcasting his Heart Radio program during the lockdown, struggling to hold back tears as he shared heartfelt messages from listeners who were yearning for their loved ones.
The message from Granddad really struck a chord with me; I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic for my dear Granddad, Granddad Eddie. I adore you immensely, and I eagerly anticipate seeing you again soon,” he expressed.
Ten days ago, it was announced that Mark disclosed the exciting news about him and his wife Michelle Keegan expecting their first child, and now, unfortunately, there’s some sad news to share.
On December 29, TV and radio personality Mark and actress Michelle announced with delight that they’re expecting their first baby, as they posted a heartwarming message on Instagram.
Actress Michelle, who has found fame on Netflix, lovingly touched her growing belly and posted: “We have a very unique year ahead in 2025…✨
The couple was flooded with well wishes on their Instagram post, coming from friends, family, as well as celebrities like Rochelle Humes, Kelly Brook, Vicky Pattison, and their good friend Arg.
