Ethan was such a wonderful guy. Always had a smile on his face and was able to turn your frown upside down. Genuinely one of the funniest guys I have ever met. While working with him if I had a crap day we knew exactly how to cheer me up. My favourite shifts at maccas were the ones I would be working with him, always racing and having fun. My first ever overnight shift he was on it and I just remember the amount of fun we had and mischief we got up to that night.

Feels like yesterday I was playing minecraft, for honour and sea of thieves with you buddy. Missing those days. Wish I could see you one more time brother it’s been too long.

Ethan was so full of life and just loved everything and everybody. He understood me as a person and as my friend and would talk to me about things we both really enjoyed, like star wars. Ethan and I were both very nerdy starwars nerds and loved talking and sharing our opinions on new and old star wars facts, it was like our very own language as nobody else understood. I miss Ethan and I will forever cherish my memories with him. I didnt take this photo but I was jealous of his lightsaber

Ethan was a sweet, amazing, and caring person. He was a true friend—always there when you needed someone, even while facing his own struggles. No matter what, he made sure to be there for others. I will always be grateful for the kindness and support he showed me when I felt alone. He was always there to listen, to offer advice, and to lift me up when I needed it most. He taught me so much—about life, about people, and even about myself. He shared his knowledge, helped me grow, and gave me valuable life skills that I’ll carry with me forever. Ethan had a rare gift for brightening people’s days, even in their darkest moments. I’ll never forget the joy he brought to others or the smiles he put on our faces. My heart goes out to his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. I can’t begin to imagine the pain of losing someone so special, but I hope you find comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved and how many lives he touched. He will always be remembered.

Ethan is and was a beautiful soul. So kind, caring, empathetic; he has left his mark on this world and won’t be forgotten. My heart goes out to all his family, I can’t even begin to imagine the loss they feel with his passing Flu high, dude <3
