Ed was Natick's biggest supporter. From starting the Natick Youth Wrestling program in the early '90s until his passing in 2004, nobody was a bigger fan, supporter, and contributor to Natick Wrestling.
At the 2004 D2 Sectional Championship, Natick was in a tight 2-day race with Franklin, LS, and Winchester for the title. Natick eventually prevailed, and although Eddie was very sick, he stayed there from start to finish. Eddie, unfortunately, passed away shortly after this tournament. The following year, The Edward Deeley Memorial Youth Tournament was established by Natick wrestling parents and coaches.
