Dear Brad, Karen and family,  our hearts are so saddened to hear of the loss of your Ethan.   Words are not enough to express our deepest condolences.  We will uphold you in our thoughts and prayers.  May God through His Holy Spirit bring you comfort and strength through this very difficult time.

Ethan, I’m not sure where to begin. 
From our random video game experiences, me stealing all of your bear paws snacks, or bike rides to CrossFit you were great guy and an even better friend. Although the last couple years we grew distant, when we would talk it was like nothing changed. You had a huge heart and a smile that was contagious to all around. I will miss you lots, hope you have found your peace. 

My deepest condolences go out to the family ❤️
Rest easy brother.

I am so sorry for your loss. My son Harley and Ethan were friends in both elementary and high school. He would stay at our house when he needed a warm place to stay. 
I pray for him and I hope he is at peace with himself. He was a good soul and will be missed by many.
May he rest in peace and may the good memories help you all through this very tough time.

Ethan,

I met you and your family when we were really young at the church and it took a few years to connect with you again, but when we did you made my life light up. You were so funny and caring. I didn’t think I would’ve lasted in school without a friend like you. The jokes we made, the laughs we shared. I’m going to miss you brother. You were the light in so many people’s lives whether you knew it or not. Rest Easy, you will never be forgotten ❤️

My deepest condolences to you and your family Karen.

What do you even say? I remember AJ dancing with  with a girl for the first time when you two went to Lyndsey's 13th birthday and how taken she was with you. That wasn’t even a decade ago. I remember taking you and a bunch of excited kids to the range for a birthday party cuz shooting was cool. Dude you were cool. You had AJ’s back when he needed a friend. You are a good soul brother and I hope your soul is at peace and in a better place. I wish tomorrow was not a thing but it is. Rest easy Ethan.

Ethan.

We met in elementary school and got close very fast. Ethan, Nick, Tessier and myself would hang out everyday after school. Ethan had such an amazing personality. Incredibly funny, loud and outgoing, such a kind person. Always put others before him. He would come to my house and always want to see my cats. He loved them. As high school came we stayed great friends even though we went to different schools. Still then Ethan always had so much joy and happiness and spread that around to all his friends. When I heard Ethan had passed, my stomach dropped and I didn’t think it was real. I’ll miss you Ethan. We talked the other week on the phone and were laughing the whole time. You’ve touched many lives and definitely mine. You always brighten up the room you are in. Until we meet again Ethan. May you rest in peace. Love you brother. 

My sincere and deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Ethan. I wish for comfort and peace for the family in the times ahead.

Ethan you were a great friend. Im so glad to have known you and spent time with you. You were always funny and outgoing and made many happy memories for me to look fondly on. My sincere condolences to Ethan’s family, this is a terrible loss and I truly hope you find comfort in knowing Ethan touched many lives.

I’ll miss you brother.

Dear Karen , Brad and Family
My deepest and most heartfelt condolences.  Know that prayers are being said so that you may find peace, comfort and strength in the days ahead.

Ethan, 

for me, it’s the gut wrenching giggles, the quirky smile, the stubborn attitude, and the endless love, selfless love. 
for me, it’s the that one little foster kitten can turn your whole day around, one little meow, and the tears, or anger, turns to pure joy. 
for me, it’s the fact you spread SO MUCH love, support and happiness to everyone around you, even to those who wouldn’t give back - you are such a giver, and never expect, or wanted anything in return. 
for me, it was seeing you let your walls down, opening up, expressing yourself, which I know how much you hated doing. but you knew how much it helped, and it was worth it. 
for me, it was being 20 years old and playing hide and seek, tag, grounders, as if we were children. 
SWINGS at 3am, endless conversations, about absolutely nothing, but at the same time, absolutely everything. 
for me, it’s how your presence made eyes turn, because of how much of a damn goofball you were, loud and obnoxious, everywhere you went, with not a care in the world. 
for me, it’s the memories I’m going to hold onto for life, from little babies in public school, to 23 years old, you made an impact on anyone and everyone you met, you are beyond loved. 
rest easy angel, 
love you tons. 

My dearest condolences to your family and all other friends.

Ethan and I had known each other for a long time. We met in elementary school and stayed friends throughout high school. I have fond memories of spending a lot of time at Ethan's house as a kid. I remember how much he adored the kittens he would care for and how much we'd play with them.  We would play video games for hours on end. I can still recall making candy apples in his kitchen for a French project we did together in the sixth grade.  Ethan was a good person, and an even better friend. He was kind, funny, and loyal to those he cared for. He was someone I was fortunate enough to call my friend for a long time. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family.

Karen & Brad,

Please accept our most sincere condolences. Our thoughts are with you through this very difficult time.

Ethan and I became friends shortly after high school graduation since we both landed the same job in Newmarket. He was a very funny and outgoing guy not to mention hard working. Roughly a few months later after I unexpectedly moved out of my house, Ethan was there to point me in the right direction and helped me get back up on my feet. Thank you for everything you’ve done and rest in peace.

When I was living with Ethan we shared a computer together, and I kept most of my social media passwords saved. One night he and my boyfriend decided to hack my entire profile and change everything over and made statuses on my profile and kept it like that for 40 minutes! … to this day my bio is still the same silly one he made because we laughed so hard our stomach hurt. It was always a good inside joke with us.

Ethan and I loved playing around with Snapchat filters. I swear one time, my story just had 15 photos of us making silly faces.

This was taken the same time I changed his song on the stereo LOL

This day, Ethan walked me home from work to meet his foster kittens! He absolutely loved every single one of his cats! He adopted spring around that time and would always share such great pictures of her. Ethan was a beautiful bright soul. When I first met him in high school, he told me he would always have my back if I needed something and he meant that when he said it.  I’ll never forget his laugh, it was contagious! He impacted so many lives while he was on this earth and will be dearly missed. My condolences and love to the family❤️

Karen, Brad, Josh and Ben,
We hope you feel the love that surrounds you, now and going forward.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers. 
Sending hugs and support!
Kathy, John, Jake and Kayla

Karen and Brad, my sincere condolences to you.  May Ethan be at peace and may your memories of happier times together provide some comfort. 🙏🏻

My sincerest condolences for your family's loss. Ethan was a friend I will never forget. As a kid some of my fondest moments were spent with him. He was an incredible person with a kind heart who uplifted everyone around him, and will be dearly missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Karen and your entire family.
Maybe Ethan rest in peace.

We were so happy to have a chance to visit at Christmas one year; and to see Ethan at home.

Think this was your 1st visit to Liverpool England

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can’t even begin to imagine the anguish you’re all feeling. Karen, I’ve  known you for nearly 10years now and see what a kind and gentle soul you are and can only imagine the incredible upbringing and supportive adulthood your boys have shared with you as their mother. Your compassion for all- especially those who are suffering and struggling with their demons does not go unnoticed- and he saw that, felt that, and knew that til the end. 💕

 There’s nothing that can be said that will make this loss any easier, so I will just simply say- rest easy to your sweet son.
