A light that everyone felt
From the moment Ethan entered this world, he carried a light that everyone felt. His humor, honesty, and unfiltered truth brought laughter to any room. His kindness and loyalty made him a companion to all. His passion for food, dancing, and being surrounded by family made him unforgettable. Ethan lived openly, loved deeply, and gave generously.
Courage in the face of adversity
At 17, Ethan faced a battle no child should ever know. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer. Yet even in the face of fear, pain, and impossible circumstances, Ethan met every challenge with a courage that inspired everyone around him. Three major surgeries… endless hospital visits… radiation… and eleven different chemotherapy protocols—he fought each day with strength beyond understanding.
A heart too big for this world
Even during the hardest moments, Ethan found ways to bring joy to others. He built Legos in the hospital and encouraged nurses to join him. He laughed, danced, and spoke his truth with love. Ethan was a son, a brother, a friend, and an old soul with a heart too big for this world. He held our family together.
"Ethan's love continues to guide us. His laughter still echoes in our memories. His grace remains in every moment we live in his honor."
