Former Wales rugby captain and BBC commentator Eddie Butler has died at the age of 65. In the early hours of Thursday, 15 September, the icon was in Peru raising funds for the charity Prostate Cymru when he died peacefully in his sleep at the Ecoinka base camp in the Peruvian Andes. In a statement posted on Twitter by Prostate Cymru said: “Ed was the voice of Wales and we were honoured to have him as part of our charity.
We will cherish the many memories we have of him. “Over the last week, Ed once again showed his generosity and steadfast commitment to good causes by joining 25 Prostate Cymru fundraisers, including his daughter Nell, on the Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu. The statement continues: “The charity will not be making any immediate further comment.
We also ask that the family's privacy is respected during this difficult time.” The “much-loved ambassador” who won 16 caps for Wales, leaves behind his wife Susan and six children – Rebecca, 38, Hannah, 36, Jack, 33, Jacob, 25, Nell, 20 and Seth, 18. Fans flocked to the comment section to leave their tributes with one person writing: “Terribly sad news. A voice of evocative splendour.
Both booming and soothing in equal measure. "The six nations won't be the same without him but the loss we inevitably will feel is as nothing compared with that of those closest to him.To them I say, we loved him almost as much.” “Terrible news, loved Eddie and Brian debating the rules, great man and full of spirit, we will miss you, Eddie,” penned another. "I’m so upset.
Such a young age. His dulcet Welsh tones will forever remain in my memories of him. My condolences to his family!” a third user wrote.
