I dont understand all of this Ethan, you was more popular than anybody in our family ever has been. You had a ton of friends,family, mama had just gotten you your first car.she would give you how ever much money you asked for every time you asked.you had just got an upstairs bedroom that youve wanted forever and some of your closest friends living with you.your relationship with your mom was getting alot better.i cant understand what made you decide to do this. Hopefully in time I'll understand but for now all I can do is miss you.it hurts so bad every time I think of you or see a pic of you.i pray that I'll see you again someday and you best believe you've got some explaining to do. I will always love you Ethan and I got your game ball from your one last game to send with you.
Gone too soon! Rest in love young man. Prayers for everyone that was near and dear to him.
