Ethan James Dunham, age 16, of Menomonie, WI passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
He was born on June 2, 2007 in Quitman, TX to Chris Dunham and Macall Hamlett. Ethan spent most his youth in the Mineola, TX area, but was a current Junior at Menomonie High school in WI.
Ethan enjoyed his days playing out on the football field or equally enjoyed them on the baseball field. He loved pole vaulting and joined the marching band with older brother Alex. Which all dwelled well for his competitiveness. He loved listening to music, fishing, taking pictures and being outside, unless it was too cold! Ethan had a one of a kind personality that was hard to miss, loved hard for his family and friends, which was hard to not love him back just as hard!
Ethan is survived by his father Chris Dunham (Erica Dunham); mother Macall Hamlett (Clayton Hamlett); siblings Alex Castillo, Dayton Dunham, Cutter Hamlett, and Phoenix Dunham; paternal grandfather James Dunham; maternal grandmother Cassie Crowe; aunt Keyra Sewell; and uncle Nick Smith. He is further survived by other relatives and many friends.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother Sandra Dunham.
A Memorial Service will be held at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at Olson Funeral Home in Menomonie with Teresa Pejsa officiating. Visitation will be from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. prior to the service.
