Australian surfing icon Mick Fanning has suffered yet another family tragedy. It has been been reported that Fanning’s brother Edward has died. Fanning’s older brother Peter died in 2015 at the age of 43 and, in 1998, his other brother, Sean, died in a car crash. Coolangatta bodyboarder Stevie Maher — Edward’s good friend — confirmed the latest tragedy on Facebook. “Firstly I want to send my condolences to the Fanning family … mum Liz, dad John, sister Rachel and brother Mick,” Maher wrote.
I enjoyed and had so many amazing times with you Eddie. “You were in my wedding party, had so many epic times together in Indo and we were just best mates. “I’m goin’ to miss you Eddie and now you rest in peace.” Edward had been working in Madagascar at a surf camp. In 1998, when Mick was just 17 years old, Sean lost his life in a car crash in Coolangatta. Then, 17 years later, Peter died from a health issue in his sleep. Friends of Maher’s reacted to Edward’s death on Facebook.
