“Some life lessons that I have taken is that life is too short to have hate in your heart and to appreciate everything you have because it can go all away at any given second. Focus more on the important things in life and do what you love.” ETHAN.
Life story
After a Heroic and Brave Fight, It is with immense sadness that we announce the unfortunate loss of the most inexplicably beyond amazing human being, son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, & friend, Ethan Rodriguez. 💙
Ethan is the epitome of an exceptional human being.
Ethan was the most loving, heartwarming, well mannered, amazing brother, extraordinary nephew, inspirational cousin, role model for his friends (the bestest friend to his friends) an excellent co-worker indescribable human being!! He was close a Perfect human being!! He worked hard on his own, for everything he had and had so many goals he wanted to achieve. He was just a great kid!! Always made good decisions, he was on the right path of life!
He was that friend that advised his friends to continue school and think big, not to make wrong decisions!!
Unfortunately his life was cut short by a rare condition that only has happened 30 times in history #SpontaneousEpiduralHematoma which caused 2 strokes .. he also suffered from a long battle of #SickleCellDisease and now after his passing, Doctors and scientists globally will research Ethan's case.. HE IS THAT SPECIAL... because of him, and new research, he will save the lives of many..
