Ethan was a student at the Burkett Center in Morris. He was a member of Gardendale Mount Vernon United Methodist Church. Ethan's smile was infectious and it could light up a room. He spoke no words but spoke volumes with his beautiful smile. Everyone who met Ethan, fell in love with him. He had a sneaky side to him, but this too was one of his many charms. He was quite the ladies man and could captivate anyone at any given moment. Ethan loved Carrie Underwood. Her voice always soothed him. He also loved anything Auburn , soft blankets, and his favorite stuffed animals ( Mo and Scruffy). More than anything, he loved his twin sister , Abbie. She could always calm him with just the sound of her voice and was often referred to as the "Ethan whisperer". Ethan made a lasting impression on every single person he came in contact with. He was an angel on earth and is now an angel in heaven. Heartfelt thanks go out to the entire staff of Children's Hospital. Ethan spent a lot of time there over the years and always received the utmost care and respect. We are forever grateful for Children's Hospital.
