To my little sugar plum Ethan, your daddy was a great and wonderful person. He had a heart of gold and was truly a generous man. You made him so happy. Your dad always talked about you with this glow of happiness on his face. I knew your dad for about 13-14 years and I can honestly say your Tia Elisabeth was right, he was the happiest I've ever seen him when your mommy came into his world, then you came next and just brightened up his life. Your daddy was selfless, giving and so caring. He will forever be missed. 
Love, 
O'Sheena, Aiyanna, and Lazarus

To my little nephew Ethan, I want you to know that your father was a loving man,  He loved you so much and did everything he could to make sure he spent any and all free time with you. He loved watching you laugh and smile.  You brought more joy to your father in the year he knew you then in all his life time.  Your dad was so proud of you and bragged about you to anyone and everyone.  He was such a giving man,  touching so many people with his warm heart and generosity, and I am so grateful that he was able to give this world one more gift, you!.  I want you to know that he loved you with all his heart and that you meant the world to him.   

Hey Ethan Your dad was my older brother, my good friend , someone i could always count on if ever i was in trouble. I miss him everyday but i see him in your face and it makes me happy. Your dad was always there for me whenever i needed him we would always be working on our cars and help each other out and go to junkyards together. I miss spending time with him and just his presence in him being there he was always a positive person. I'm sorry that you lost your father, you were the best thing that ever happened to him and he was so happy every time he saw you. He wanted nothing but the best for you and his your mother. I hope you know that your father was a great man a great person, when i lost him a part of me died that i will never be able to get back. If there is anything you ever need I'm always here to help just let me know. I love you Ethan

My fiance Anthony, was the most amazing man I had met. There are no words to explain how truly amazing he was, he had the most selfless soul. I loved him with my entire heart and I always will. He loved my unconditionally and I loved him the same. No matter what we went through he was always there.  He taught me so many things about life, unconditional love, and patience. I was afraid of many things when we met, he changed my way of thinking for the better. He was my better half, my best friend and my soulmate. I'm so blessed God allowed our paths to cross. We spent the last two years falling in love, adventuring, and beginning life with our beautiful baby boy. He was such an amazing father to our son, Ethan. He had so much patience and love for our son, it amazed me. Our son would light up whenever he saw his Daddy come home from work. He leaves behind a family that loves him dearly. May you rest in paradise, my love. We miss him every second of everyday, and that will never go away.

Ethan, your daddy was my baby just as you were his.  I wish you would be able to remember how his eyes lit-up whenever he saw you or how proud he was to carry you around and let everyone know you were his son. I could tell you that he wanted to spend every moment he could with you and that he had many dreams for you. Your daddy was a very giving person and I'm glad he gave us you.  Every time I see you, I can't help but think about your dad both a grown man and when he was your age, and that lessens the longing to hold and hug him one more time.  To Gabbie, mija, I'm so sorry that you had to go through this at such a young age, just know that mijo loved you with all his heart and that you made him very happy.  Every Friday we would talk about life and you and Ethan were always the center of the conversation. I know Anthony is happy to know that you are a part of our family. I love you two very much.

To my Mijo Ethan your dad was a very strong,kind and beautiful man. I will miss him forever. He loved you so much. Whenever he saw you he smiled in the way that a happy man smiles. Know that he wanted to spend as much time with you that he could. Always be proud of your dad he did his best and served God to the end of this life.
