Not sure what to say?

I met Ethan at the Toy Store in Hood River. What a nice guy. Then I had the chance to go out snowmobiling with him and Aaron and Jason and others. Nice nice guy. I felt really inspired by him. I felt the future was in good hands with a person like him. What a tragic loss for his loved ones and the world.

I spent many hrs with Ethan building and painting cars , He even help my father and I build a large shop together in witch I still use Maybe that is why the roof leaks ? I had so many great times building and painting with him. I always enjoyed him and his talents, I first met him at CCC auto body paint refinishing class . He would show up and help us Ryan Garrett and I even though he was not officially in our class , We had an instant bound , Build something cool with nice paint what ever it...

Sure gonna miss Ethan!! He was always good to me!! Ethan was a giver not a taker! I would ask to rent his mini excavator and he would never take any money from me!! loved talking with him about machines,moving dirt and logging lol Ethan always gave me work when my normal job was slow! He was the smoothest operator I've seen in any machine he ran! Wish we could done more together cuz I could of learned a lot from him. I'll never forget you Ethan and thanks for everything you did for me! Say hi...

I met Ethan when He returned from Australia with his family to continue school at West Linn High School. I don't know for sure but I think we were both 15 years old and only thinking about driving on our own. Ethan and I seemed to share the same brain at that time and for quite a few years after.

We lost touch unfortunately, it's tough to keep up with that much adventure when raising a family. I don't think that much of my interest in the hobbies I still enjoy or the mechanical...

I had the privilege to work and play with Ethan. Aways postitive and freindly. I think in every memory I have of him he was smiling. He was a great guy and I know he will be missed by many.

Ethan Kennedy Is the love of my life, My Soulmate, My everything. 3 days into our relationship I knew he was the one for me, I've never been so sure about anything in my entire life this man I will marry one day, many amazing dates later he told me he wants to get married sooner than later and start a family, he was ready for that part in his life and so was I. I was shocked in a good way he was saying everything I wanted to hear, We always said that we love each other equally and it felt so...

I was lucky enough to have met Ethan a handful of times over the last few years. He will be missed greatly anytime there is some sort of a get together cause I don't think i ever saw that guy without a smile or laughing at something!! My heart goes out to the entire Kennedy family, As well as my friend Tiffany Rider.

RIP Ethan. Till we meet again.

I've known and loved Ethan since he was a little boy!! He was my son, Tyson's, best friend and a huge part of our family!!!! I watched these boys explore life, have fun adventures and learn new skills, there wasn't much that these two wouldn't tackle (they were quite a team!!)!!! He always has and always will hold a very special place in my heart!! We love you Ethan and will miss you forever and truly cherish every wonderful memory we have with you!!! xoxo
