Edward Stobart, managing director of Carlisle haulage firm Eddie Stobart Ltd for more than 30 years, has passed away due to heart problems, aged 56.
He built Eddie Stobart Ltd - a firm started by his father - into an iconic brand before selling it to brother William and business partner Andrew Tinkler in 2004.
The company grew slowly, from a small trucking company started by his father, into 1000 lorries by the year 2000, based at several storage depots around the UK.
Eddie leaves behind his wife Mandy and 6 children. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

~ I Still Feel Your Love ~
❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤
I know you’re gone from this earth
You left me way too soon
But I feel your love every time
I gaze up at the moon.
Sometimes I think I hear
A whisper in the wind
It sounds as if you’ve called my name
As your love to me you send.
Sometimes I do a silly thing
And your laughter fills my ears
I know you’re right here with me
But I can’t see you through my tears.
I felt your hand upon my shoulder
And I quickly turned to see
Visible... you were not
But I know you’re here with me.
In the night you sometime come
To visit in my dreams
My hands go out to touch you
But you’re just out of reach it seems.
For just a flash you appear
Standing close to me.
Is it just my imagination
Or is it really you I see.
Even though you’re gone from me
And you watch me from above
I long for you everyday…
And I still feel your love.

I am so sorry for your loss
I remember when I saw my 1st Stobart trucks, I was around 10 years old. They were in a depot in Knottingley next to Rockware Glass. I couldn't believe how smart the drivers were. Shirts and ties were the order of the day. I used to walk past that depot on the way to school, and wish that I could go out on the road in these shiny trucks. At week-ends I used to stand on a footbridge over the M62 to catch a sight of these lorrys on the way to their next adventure. I used to tell my Dad that I wanted to be a Stobart driver when I grew up, but he would tell me that it wasn't a job for a girl. Although I grew out of that dream by the age of 16, even now at the age of 46, I still think about my childhood dreams each time I see a Stobart truck. Thanks for the happy memories Eddie, a true Knight of the Road x x x
