Hi Eric,
Just learned of Ethan's passing tonight from your mom and dad. We are so sorry. We hope you find comfort in God and your memories of Ethan.
Can remember him from his childhood days on Bear Island... a sweet, joyful, energetic boy who used to buzz around Brandon. We last saw him two years ago when he gave us a boat ride to Brown's. Cherrful, helpful and conversational, even with us older farts! A nice boy:) Makes me smile just thinking about him.

We are so sorry to hear of Ethan's passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this extremely difficult time.

Our sympathies. I pray the Lord takes great care of Ethan. I have such great memories from
Ethan's childhood and answering the inevitable 'why' questions and acting stern to make sure he would focus on the chores he was supposed to be doing... And witnessing him challenging Rouk and the smiles that followed. Xoxo
