Ethan was a smart, inquisitive, affectionate and sensitive young man.  He would often go up to family members and friends and say, “Can I have a hug?”  He was very good and patient when playing with younger children.  He just finished attending 7th grade at Glenwood City School.  He loved video games, puzzles, Legos, connect-the-dot, coloring, and reading.  He was an excellent swimmer and enjoyed fishing.  He loved his fur babies, Destiny and Calypso.
