Obituary of Edward John Pottinger

1956 - 2026

Ed was born on April 9, 1956, in Kingston, Jamaica, where he first developed his lifelong passion for Caribbean cooking. The flavours, traditions, and spirit of Jamaica shaped not only his recipes but also the warm hospitality he brought to everyone he met. Everything was always Irie.

Ed is survived by his wife, mother, sister, two brothers, two sons, daughter, and four grandchildren.

Ed loved spending time with friends and family over a good meal. You could also find him playing tennis, watching the EPL, shooting pool, and slamming dominoes. He was often the life of the party, dancing to lively Caribbean music with customers, family, and friends.

With gratitude for your love and support, to honour the outstanding medical staff at Humber River Hospital who treated our family with love and professionalism, we invite you to consider a contribution to either the Urology team or the Cancer Care team at Humber River Hospital, in place of flowers.
