Dad, I can’t believe it’s been 16 years and i am just now seeing this. As you probably already know i getting married and to be completely honest it’s been so hard without you. planning all this stuff and i just want you to be apart of it. but instead i saved you a seat on the memory table along with papaw, grammy evie, and grammy joann. How are they by the way i miss them a lot and you.. I have decided I don’t want a father daughter dance because if it’s not going to be with you i didn’t want it. That is something special and no one can replace you and i don’t even want anyone to take your spot. I know you’d be so proud of me today. I am graduating college early. I bought a house with Justin. I really wish you got to meet him you would have loved him. He always comes up with these stupid hypothetical questions and eats gas station egg rolls.

It has now been 16 years since you left us. You are thought of, missed and loved. You have a beautiful family and the kids are such grown ups now.
Maddy is getting married and has picked a very nice young man to share her life with. She is so much you, her looks, her facial expressions, she is beautiful.
Hayden is an amazing athlete, and gives it his all, gets some of that from you and Kylie. He is a handsome young man and has a level head on his shoulders.
Kylie has done a great job raising them without you. She is stronger than she thinks and she does a great being a mom and dad.
We all love and miss you and you will never be forgotten. ❤️

Just feeling like I need to write something on here after seeing how many officers lately have been killed. I feel deeply for their families and the shock and hurt that their hearts are feeling. It does not go away, time does not heal it. Your family, friends and coworkers just learn to adjust with the fact that you are no longer there each day.
We miss you and love you and you are never forgotten.

Couldn’t be here on the day we laid you to rest my friend, but I committed someday I would come back to Ohio and honor your grave. Hired you, trained you and mourn the loss of your smile and vitality. Rest In Peace Ethan

In January it was 12 years since the horrible day in which you were taken from us.
We love the kids and try to go to some of their games and watch them. They are both such good kids, we love them so much.
On this past Saturday two Westerville officers were killed in the line of duty. Welcome them and let them know that their service did not go unnoticed, and they are being grieved for and that the criminal that killed them will be paying a great price for doing such a horrible thing, by taking them from their families and friends much too soon.
We love and miss you Ethan, we miss you still so much.

Its been 9 years. We all miss you very much, and we love you. Your kids are growing up so beautifully. You would be proud of them, and proud of Kylie. And Brendan, he loves Star Wars just like you! You guys would have had fun together. Miss Allie speaks of you often. Your brother misses you very much. We went to the cemetary today when they were having a memorial for you, its so awesome to see how many lives you affected, you defiantly have a lot of people that love you very much. Rest easy.
