Dear David, Bobette and Hannah,
my heart and prayers go out to you. I taught Ethan in midle school and only have fond memories of him. I remember Ethan as being exceptionnally kind and well-mannered, always in good spirits. I always thought of him as a quiet angel watching over us.

hey Ethan's family. I hope you know how much your son meant to our youth group. he made youth group fun and exciting!Ii will ALWAYS remember how all of the youth would argue about who would get to ride with Ethan anywhere we went. some of us plan to make a shirt with one of Ethan's drawings, if that is ok with you!

Bobbette, Dave and Hannah - I'm very sorry to hear about Ethan. I think I only saw him once, at the Atlantic High class reunion in 2002. He was such a good kid. My thoughts are with you during what must be an incredibly difficult time. Rely on the strength within and upon the support of others, and know that you're in the thoughts of folks far and near.

David, Bobbette, and Hannah,
Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you. May God give you the strength to get through the next hours, days, and weeks. May God provide you with a peace that surpasses all understanding during this unimaginable time. I still remember a very young Ethan playing in the front yard with beautiful blonde curls, blue eyes and the longest eyelashes I'd ever seen. God bless you and know that you are being lifted up in prayer.

Ethan,
You truly were a free spirit. I remember that when we were younger we used to always go against each other in video games. We were rivals in everything that we did. I truly will miss you. To Ethan's parents, I'm terribly sorry for what has happened. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. Rest in Peace Ethan, your memory still lives on.
