My deepest condolences to the Brown family. Ethan & I never met in person but through Facebook. I w have NF1 and Ethan and I both love baseball in through that began a friendship and messaged each other quite a bit back and forth on Facebook. When he shared with me that he was writing a book about his life I told him I was too and I connected him with my friend F Casey Cease with Lucid books and I'm so thankful that Ethan was able to get his book finished before the Lord called him home. I talked to Ethan about meeting up for a baseball game possibly for the Astros playing the Rockies I'm a huge Astros fan but I'm also a big fan of Ian Desmond and I got to meet him a few years ago he shared with me and special friendship connection with Ethan. When I saw that God called Ethan home my heart broke half of the tears were of sadness that I never had the privilege to meet him in person but the other half were tears of joy because I know that NF didn't win because Ethan doesn't have NF anymore he's running the streets of gold any no longer is praying for me but talking to Jesus face to face. Ethan I love you brother and I'll see you when the Lord calls me home. TIGER

Jan and Ricky, I was sadden when I heard of Ethan’s passing. I can remember him and his cousins out in Gary’s yard playing. They would always holler to Larry to let them come and pet Duby and Bitsy, sweet memories. I discovered all of Ethan’s accomplishments when I purchased and read his book. Despite his disease Ethan didn’t let it hold him back. He loved and in return many loved him. I know he will be missed more than words can ever say. Please know y’all are and will continue to be in my prayers.

DearFamily, You and Ethan bore this burden with such courage and faith until the end. I am not happy that Ethan is no longer with us, but he has lived his life to inherit the best eternal home with Jesus. Grandmother Bonnie and Ethan did not become angels. God created angels as angels,, but have new bodies and await our joining them. My first granddaughter Courtney, born May 22 ,'83 is there too. May God comfort you and sustain you in your grief. I know it isn't easy. You have been faithful , amazing Christians!! You are loved, as was your wonderful son!! ❤ his book. I reread part of it last night.
