On June 17, 2026, our beloved son, brother, and friend, Sir Ethan-Dupree Jones, was tragically taken from us by gun violence. Ethan was a proud 2026 graduate of Hiram High School who was preparing to pursue a career in welding and had a bright future ahead of him.

Many friends, family members, and community supporters have asked how they can help during this difficult time. This fundraiser has been established by Ethan’s family to assist with funeral and memorial expenses, family support needs arising from Ethan’s death, and other related expenses incurred as a result of this tragedy.

We would also like to acknowledge that members of the Menlow Station community, where the incident occurred, have established a separate fundraiser in support of our family. That fundraiser is legitimate and has our family’s support and appreciation.

Thank you for your prayers, kindness, and generosity as we honor Ethan’s memory and navigate this unimaginable loss.
