We are absolutely heartbroken to hear about the loss of Ethan. He was such and still is a beautiful soul and we can't imagine the pain that your hearts are feeling right now. We pray God will continue to heal your heart and give you peace and grace. We love you and are here for you. Love your Simmons YMCA family (Sandra McPhaul)

My heart aches for you, Aaron. Ethan was such a sweet child...I will always remember his mischievous smile while at BH. He was so eager to learn and ready to play!!!  He melted my heart instantly. May your memories provide you comfort in the coming days. Love, Bethany 

My most fond memory of Ethan and Aaron and their love was way back when I worked with Aaron in Pineville! We had a small get together at her place and us gals had just started to gather, and here comes Ethan busting in the door, runs to his mom, gives her a hug, kiss and tells her he had to come give her some love before her big crazy girls night. I really knew then, they definitely where each others world! My thoughts and prayers are with Aaron, Cheri and the entire Bradley family, as I know how close they all are, and the love they share! God Bless you all! 

This is how I'll always remember you, Ethan. You were silly, rambunctious, funny, wild...and loved. So well loved by your family, friends and teachers. Rest easy, E.

So sorry for your loss, Mo. prayers and hugs to you and all the Bradleys.

my bestfriend 💜 he will forever be missed . not only was he a great friend but he was an amazing person wit such a beautiful heart & soul . my heart goes to the whole family ❤️ . forever LLE 🕊❤️ .

I was a student athletic trainer at Butler for 3 years. The football team is my family. They’re who I spent majority of my high school days with, even in the off season. Class of 2021 was and will always be my “little brothers” because I watched them grow from young freshmen into mature men as seniors. Ethan was always such a goofy person at practice, during pre-game, and ESPECIALLY during the game while on the sideline. There was never a moment he wasn’t saying something to make us trainers laugh. After I graduated, I took photos on the sidelines during Butler’s COVID year (Ethan’s senior year). Ethan ALWAYS wanted to be in front of the camera. Every chance he got, it was “Christine get a pic of me real quick”. I remember always getting so annoyed that he kept doing the same. pose. in. every. picture. But looking back, I’d give anything to capture that smile one more time. There were so many post game moments when I made sure he got a picture with his beautiful mom, who was always so proudly cheering for him & repping him in the stands. I’m grateful that I did, I’m grateful that I was able to give her more captured moments to hold tight. I will forever hold you in my heart, thank you for being a friend, until we see you again, we love you Ethan! #50Forever ❤️ 

To Aaron, I only knew Ethan for a short time  through my son Kimmie Hall. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Ethan will be truly missed, but never forgotten.

Ethan help my son Paxton for hours outside CSS with a dunk. They always played video games together into the late night hours. Prayers goings up. From the Broadway family 

Little Ethan, I thank the Lord for his gift of eternal life, it brings some sort of peace to know we will be with your happy little soul again one day.  I will miss your phone calls and the true friendship you shared with my son. The sleep overs and soda binges!! Lol! I will always hold those memories close to my heart. You will always be apart of our family always cherished and never forgotten. Thank you for being you ! 😘 

Ethan, you will be missed! Life of the party, beautiful soul inside and out. 

Love always-

Paternal Grandmother Bessy Cannon.

Paternal Grandmother Bessy Cannon.

I was at Bulter High School at the Candle Light Circle it was very nice.  Ethan had both of his Grandmother's there I Bessy Cannon was standing  on the left side of Aaron and Jennie Bradley was on her right side and that's how Ethan's life has been since he entered the world. They were saying some very nice things about our Grandson  but I know he had a Heart of Gold and he will always be in my Heart ❤️. 

I was lucky enough to teach Ethan for pe and also science. 6-8 grade He had a smile that would light up the classroom every time he walked in. He was such a happy kid- eager to impress his peers and his teachers. Every day, Ethan would come to my class, “how’s it goin Ms Hatcher?” ..nodding his head up at me.. that gold chain in his mouth again 😂 (he loved that chain necklace)  I’d answer and return the question and he’d give me a little shrug and a side smirk “can’t complain!” .. then start talking about football.  He was ALWAYS getting into a heated discussion about sports teams.. such an enthusiastic speaker- his hands would be in blades as he explained his point for the second or third time. 😩😂 I’ll never forget his smile or his huge heart. Ethan was one of the most considerate, appreciative, and kindest students I’ve ever had. My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to his amazing family. I hope you’re wrapped in love and comfort during this excruciating time. 

-Jackie Hatcher 

Joe and family,  I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to all of you at this sad time. 

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

Ethan. I taught him when he was on the 8th grade, at Charlotte Secondary. Ethan was very respectful, and a hard-worker. Continued prayers to the family, and his beautiful mother. Thank you for sharing your son, and you are in my prayers. 

-BreLinda Locke 

Ethan. I thought him when he was in the 8th grade. Very smart and respectful young man. My prayers to the family, and his  mother, who was so supportive of her son. 

Continued prayers.

I had the honor of having Ethan as part of our Staff at Shane's Rib Shack!  I consider him my work child, coming in to each shift with the biggest smile and telling us about everything from the football games, girls, family and friends, We never had a bad shift when he has on shift.  He would be blasting music and dance around the kitchen while grilling.He always stopped in on his off days, after practice to tell us everything and of course feed the team 🤣.   My deepest condolences to the family, I can't express how sorry I am for your loose. We will miss you, E!

Ethan and I grew up together; we lived on the same street, went to the same elementary and middle school. Although it was inevitable that we would part ways as we got older, that doesn't mean his impact and legacy fades from memory.

When we were kids, we would play basketball, football, or Pokemon at lunch, talk about cartoons we saw the night before during carpool, or adventure around in our elementary playground in the bushes. He was always the goofball, always having that cocky grin (sometimes missing a tooth) and iconic laugh that you knew was Ethan's. He gave me comfort in my lowest moment, I'll always be grateful for that.

Even though we didn't go to the same high school, I still remembered him and wished him well. I'll always remember him and the wonderful memories he gave all of us.

I only met Ethan once and at the time he was a small child, but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you now.  Aaron you have always showed such kindness and I know that you raised your son in the same way. His presence will be missed by none more than you. Know I am thinking of you. 

 No words can ease your hurt and sorrow.  We pray his smile and laughter will stay in your heart forever. May God hold your family tight and his Grace guide you thru the pain.
Prayers and Love The LeGrande Family

When I think about Ethan there are two things that come to mind: respect and dance moves. Ethan was a true gentleman and such a respectful young man. My favorite memories of Ethan always occurred around Derby Day at GrandDar and PJ’s house—Ethan loved to dance around their kitchen. He had some moves and his smile was contagious. Ethan will be in our hearts, on our minds, and on the dance floor with us forever. We love you!
