Dad
Thought you´d like to know Taylor and Alyssa both had kids in the last year. Alyssa had a boy and Taylor had a girl, so you have a grandson and granddaughter now, they both seem happy and your first two grandchildren are awesome. I love being an uncle, but still sounds weird when I hear uncle Ethan because I remember people calling you that when I was younger but it´s kinda nice to hear again after all this time. I joined the military a little while ago, turns out you were right all those years ago. I love and miss you more then anything dad.

Hey dad, I find myself coming on here every once and awhile when I think of you. Never wrote anything thought it might be time. Mom remarried, Taylor has a baby girl a few months old now, Alyssa has a son coming up on a year old soon both of them moved out into their own places, I know your proud of them up there because I´m proud of them just wish you where here to meet your grandchildren. I ended up joining the military coming up on a year ago now just before little Henry was born, looks like you where right about what you told me when I was a kid. Love you dad looking forward to seeing you, tiff, and everyone else one day just hopefully not too soon.

Aunt Janice shared this photo of Dad with me today. She said he was 22 in this picture. I miss you, Ethan. Tell Tiff and Dad i said hello. Love you
February 27, 2014
Today is a special day. Tiffy would have been 22. I think she is probably her same 9 year old at her daddy's side. Take care of each other. I miss you both more than seems possible

I felt you touch my hair last night. You told me I was the only one you KNEW loved you unconditionally. And I still do. I will always adore you. I can't wait to see you again and spend eternity with you. Mama

Ethan John Fields...my oldest son. After you were born, I became Ethan's mom, not Shelia. and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Still wouldn't. I've been stronger lately...much stronger, but it seems the first of the year makes me remember I have another year to live without you. My special, special boy, we were going to take on the world together. I feel like I failed you. I miss you so much.

Ethan, I am needing your advice and comfort right now. You played the role of oldest son so well. Well, maybe a 'bit' opionionated! But I could use your advise right now. I love you, Baby. If you can send me some love and comfort down my way. I could use it. I miss you, I love you!

Ethan, I have so many stories that I love about you. You were such a wonderful cousin to me. I do not think anyone has ever had my back the way you always did. You never even asked what I might have done, I would just mention someone hurting me and you were ready to go whoop their booty... I always felt so much better knowing someone was willing to fight for me, But now that I do not have anyone to offer to, I realize how much I needed that. You were the best cousin I have ever had. You married a woman that immediately became my best friend. You had three children that I adore. You always opened your home and family to Tim, me and the girls. Most of the best times of my life were with you and Brandi. It scares me to think those aren't possible anymore. I miss seeing you stand there bowed up, up on your toes, with a cigarette at your side held backwards.
I remember when we were at the Lake lot with everybody and you and Dad had a competition who could drive up the the wall of the cliff or whatever that was. Of course you won!! I remember thinking what goobers you were. As usual. Daddy's old now. He would not even attempt that competition anymore. LOL.
I remember wrestling with you. At your mom and dads old place. On that hollow floor. You always put me in my place real fast.
I remember Avery busting her lip real bad on that coffee table, your Dad made you, at Greens road. You held her in your arms and were ready to rush her wherever would make her stop crying. The girls love you so much. They miss you too. Everytime I say Ethan, they say Uncle Ehtan?? It makes me happy and sad.
I have been dreading writing anything here. Nothing does the memories justice. Nothing makes me feel better. I love you. I miss you.

Mother's Day was yesterday. It was tough, then I began to remember some of my mother's days of the past 34 years. You always made them special. When you were 8 yrs old, you had Dad take you to a little gift shop and bout me a wooden horse which was a pencil holder with all of your allowance. Your were always so generous, Ethan. I know you and Grandma are up there talking flowers! Cause both of you loved to talk ! I love you my baby boy. I miss you so! I know in my heart you are happy in your life there and that is bringing me peace.

Heavy on our minds and hearts this week. 34 years ago we were anxiously awaiting your arrival. You changed my life forever and for that I will always be grateful. I love you, I miss you so
March 16, 2010
I had a long, very realistic dream today. We had a long talk, and went for a walk down the road where the house is. I awakened feeling like it had really happened. I wish we could have another long talk and walk down that road again like we did so many times as you were growing up. I love you, I miss you.

Those we love remain with us, for love itself lives on. Cherished memories never fade, because one loved is gone.Those we love can never be,more than a thought apart.For as long as there's a memory, they live on in our heart.

Don't think of him as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
In a plac...e of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.

ethan and i were close friends in school. i'm so sorry, for the loss endured by his family. as well as friends. he was well liked and much loved, and he'll live on forever in our hearts.

Me and Taylor were best friends. We did everything together and every chance we got, we spent it together. Ethan was of course there, he always mede me laugh with his cheezy jokes(: I'll remember this night forever;;
Me and Taylor were on the back porch talking and Ethan was outside also. After a while, he went inside. He decided to mess with us, peeking through the blinds. Then locked the door and turned the light off. It was so scary since it was night and pitch black. We ran to the front door trying to get inside but of course it was locked. We went back banging on the door and he wouldnt let us in. We went back to the front, it was still locked. To the back door once again he flicked the light on and we screamed! We KEPT banging on the door. He opened it and said BOO! We couldnt have screamed louder(: It had to have been one of the funnest nights(; Brandi woke up from sleeping and was getting mad at Ethan for scaring us. He was denying everything. Hahahaha, that night will never be forgotten(: Miss and love you<3
December 26, 2009
One more memory of Ethan, I would like to share. I took Ethan shopping at the Walmart store in Alvin, Texas and asked him if there was anything he would like to have and he said yes mam Aunt Pat I would like a big pickle. I asked what's a big pickle Ethan, he said I'll show you Aunt Pat. So I went to the pickle isle and he said no that's not it. We walked all over the store than finally I walked into the produce department and Ethan shouted Aunt Pat look a big pickle... to my surprise it was a watermelon. Ethan picked the one he wanted and smiled and said thank you Aunt Pat. Ethan was the most polite child and it carried over into his adulthood, with a yes mam or a yes sir to anyone he knew or met. Our deepest sympathy to Brandy, Taylor, Alyssa and Ethan Jr., Shelia, Bunky, Adam, Bobby & Ryan. You are in our prayers. Love, Pat Gene & Grandma
December 24, 2009
It is Christmas Eve...the first in 33 years without you. I love you and miss you so much. Taylor, Alyssa and Ethan are doing well...coping. Adam and Ryan are stepping right up to be the strong uncles. Adam is hoping Brandi and the kids will go to Dallas/Ft Worth so he can help the kids with sports. Ryan got Ethan a new bicycle for Christmas and Ethan proclaimed it to be 'the coolest bike every". I love you....so much.

The first time I met Ethan he was about 18 months old ,as I had no Grandchildren of my own, he was the first of many to come. I remember his head full of blond curls and big sparkling eyes and that he was always ready when I'd get my camera.He would be happy to make a silly face or go into his strongman routine to show his muscles or to do thumbs-up or the victory sign.Even back then he had a way of charming you.But then as he got a little older he was not so willing to get before my camera with out griping a little bit.And on occation my photo would turn out to be the palm of his hand or of the back of his head. Then Brandi and the kids came along and he was a little better about the picture taking thing ,he did not seem to mind my camera as bad anymore .
I think back in time,it seems it was only yesterday,and now he is GONE and I am so sad , and my camera will annoy him no more.
In your sleep,rest well Ethan John,
rest well.We will always love you.

Ethan was my first Grandchild. It is a very moving experience to see your first grandchild.He was a perfect little boy. As the years went by we had many conversations. He often talked to me about things that were private for him and I always enjoyed his thoughts and views.He will remain in my heart ,in my thoughts,and in my prayers.
Thessalonians 4:13
Brothers,we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep,or to grieve like the rest of men,who have no hope.We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.According to the Lords own word,we tell you that we who are still alive,who are left till the coming of the Lord,will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.For the Lord himself will come down from Heaven,with a loud command,with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that,we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.

It has been one month...and it has seemed like a lifetime. I love you, I miss you, I pray you are looking down on all of us and knowing how much you are missed. I am trying to be strong and I know it will be easier with time. But I know that for as long as I live, a day will not go by that I don't think of you and grieve for our loss.

Ethan,
My favorite memory of you is when you, me & Amy went to the mall one night. We must've been about 18 years old. For some strange reason we went into Wick & Sticks and somehow you managed to knock a ceramic dinosaur off the table & it broke. We really expected you to take off running, but you carried it up to the counter & paid for it. When you told the lady she could keep it because it was broken & you didn't want it, I took it. Amy & I kept that silly purple dinosaur in our apartment all through college. It meant a lot to me because the night I got it I was with my two best friends. I miss you every day!

The first time I met Ethan, John and I were dating and we pulled into a gas station in Frankston after dark. John said he thought that "kid" was his nephew Ethan. I walked up to pay for the gas and asked if he name was Ethan. He asked who wants to know? I said if you are that's your Uncle John over there. He said Oh - I thought you were somebody's mama! I was 25! I knew then I was old. I remember the first time I met Brandi and how in love he was with her. Then he came to work with us and I really got to know him. He was a hard worker with a great big heart. He would help anybody with anything. He was such fun to be around. I remember our karaoke parties, our Y2K party, our family parties. None of them will be the same without Ehtan. I'm not really an aunt to any of Shelia's boys but I do think of them ALL as little brothers. I treasure the memories I have of Ethan and miss him greatly.

Ok, so your old mom is hogging this memorial thing. But we have decided that we should try to include as many memories as we can of you...then in a year we will have it printed for your family and friends to share!
Anyway, I recently caught a really big flounder, well big for ME! Dad and I were remembering the time that you boys and your dad had baited a trot line and when you and Bobby went out in the boat to catch the lines, Dad was on the shore. You know, you were about 14 or 15 and thought you were invicible. You always called your father, Dad, because you had outgrown Daddy!. Anyway. you tried to pull up the line and you told us all you saw was a massive catfish mouth looking up at you. You immediately started yelling, over and over, at the top of you lungs, "Daddy! Daddy! Come see what we caught! So he went down and helped you get that VERY big catfish into the boat. You were both so proud of your fish. And I believe we had a pretty good fishfry that fed all of your friends, some of their parents, and some more. What a remarkable, fun loving son you were. And I miss you so very, very much

It has been 2 weeks, and they have seemed an eternity. I am trying every day to focus on special memories and not the 'whys' and 'what-ifs'. It is so hard because my heart is so heavy. Today, Dad and I were remembering the time we went to the Renaissance Festival when you were only 2 years old. We turned around and you had your jeans around your ankles and were peeing on a tree! Everyone around you was laughing. Dad said, "That's what we get for training him out in the country!"

My heart is heavy, but I smile at the memories. I am grateful for the long talk we had a few weeks ago. I am grateful that I have wonderful Thanksgiving memories from last year to sustain us today. I am grateful that you have left us 3 beautiful children to love and cherish in your memory. I am grateful that we love Brandi as much as you did, and that she loves us.

Ethan, as a child I remember all of us working to clear the property in Alvin and you stopped and looked at Grandma Fields and said Grandma its coo coo time we all laughed and stopped to eat a cookie with you. You did love your cookies and brownies. The next moment you and your dad were swinging on a rope across the creek on the property. You went from that to riding anything with four wheel up and down the hill at the sand pit and tried to get me to ride with you, I watched you take Ryan up and down once and ran.... If that wasn't scary enough you and your brothers would jump off railroad eddy. You took life on full speed ahead damn the torpedos and enjoyed it to the fullest.. You met and married the love of your life Brandy and had three beautiful children. With Ethan Jr. to carry on your legacy, when I heard Ethan Jr. was born I cringed at visuals of Ethan Jr riding up the sand pit and jumping off railroad eddy. When I watched you with your children you were loving and very protective and it dispelled any more visuals. You are now their guardian angel along with Tiffany. We will miss you and your awesome smile and wit. Love you.

Its only been a week since I lost you and it feels like a lifetime. I love you so much I don't know how we will go on without you. I always thought we would be together forever raising our kids side by side. You've been a wonderful loving husband to me and a great dad to the kids. I'm thankful for all the wonderful memories we've made the last 13 years. I will remember and cherish each and every one of them and share them with our kids. I love you, Ethan. I always have and I always will. There is so much I could say about you and our life together but just know that you are loved and missed. You truly are the love of my life and you'll always have a piece of my heart.
Always Yours,

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

I was thinking today of when you were watering the roses with Grandma Fields and you asked her, " Grandma what are you doing?" She said " I am feeding the flowers" You were 3 years old and you bent down and searched all up and down the plants and then stood up and asked her, " Where are their mouths?" You were so smart and the whole family loved you so much. We all got a big laugh out of that. Grandma told everyone in Rosenberg about how smart you were! I love you, baby boy and miss you so much.

Ethan, I can't believe your really gone. But you will be in our hearts and memories forever.

You were here a short time, but you lived it to the fullest. Well done. Love always.

My deepest sympathy to Brandi and the kids. You, his wife and best friend, have lost such a unique person.
Since the first time I met Ethan in 2005, he showed such a special character. He was so polite and his laugh, infectous. I so appreciate the opportunity to have known Ethan and his generous heart. We have lost a man of value who meant so much to his family and friends. You will be missed.
God embrace Ethan into your arms. Reunite him with his precious daughter Tiff. Until we can all be together in heaven, God Bless us all.

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen. Ethan
and Tiffany both I had the pleasure of knowing and
again my prayers are with you and your family!

I was the first to know about you, to feel you move, to see you and to love you. I don't know how life can go on without you. But we will do our best so we can help Brandi with the kids. I wish somehow, I thought you could read this, but I guess I know in my heart you already know how I feel. My heart is breaking but I know you are at peace and my pain is selfish, not for you, but for myself.
