You will forever be loved, missed and remembered. I wish I knew any way of contacting your family to ask them to look into if you perhaps had been growing a brain tumor....
John and I are grateful to have been a part of your life so thank you

Scott Bye and myself send our deepest condolences for the sudden loss of Ethan. He was a huge part of Scott’s life, having the two of them grow up together and experience much of life side by side was a blessing that won’t be forgotten. I met Ethan through Scott and he was always such a free soul, while life took them different directions his memory will always stay strong with us. All our love, take care.

Vinny and Danielle, and Ethan's siblings, family and friends,
I am so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of Ethan.. Sending so much love and hugs to all of you, and all those that knew and loved him. Holding you close in my thought as you navigate this challenging and unimaginable time.
I will never forget the camping trip our families took together, and the fond memories that were created that trip. I think of it here and there, as it is a great memory that I have of my father as well.
