In Memory of Ethan Roy Carroll:

Dear family, friends, and our kind–hearted community,

My name is Christine Molinar. My husband Gabriel and I are long time friends to the Carroll Family. We are creating this campaign in response to a real need, with the permission of Ethan’s parents and in response to so many who asked that I create a way for them to tangibly show their love and support to the Carroll family.

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we have to share the unexpected and tragic passing of Ethan Carroll, who lost his life battling Yolk Sac Germ Cell tumor on Saturday, July 26, 2025.

Ethan lived a life marked by love of family, friends, faith, and compassion. He loved God sincerely and served others with kindness and humility. His laughter, his love for art, his hugs and his presence brought warmth and joy to every room he entered. He had a unique way of making people feel safe, heard, and deeply valued. He reminded us all of the beauty found in simply showing up with love.

Though his time on earth was heartbreakingly short, Ethan’s impact was eternal. He taught us to love more deeply, to forgive more freely and to live with courage and wonder. His smile was unforgettable. His faith was unwavering.

As a community, we are rallying around the Carroll family to help carry the weight of this unimaginable loss. This GoFundMe campaign has been created to support the family with:

• Medical and memorial expenses

• Grief counseling and support services

• Ongoing practical needs as they walk through this season of mourning

Every donation no matter the size is a tangible expression of love and support. Whether you knew Ethan personally or are simply moved by his story, we invite you to give and to share this campaign with others who may want to help.

Please join in prayer for the Carroll family, Ethan’s friends, and for the entire community that is grieving this tragic loss.

"Dear God, we lift up this family to you, asking for your loving presence to surround them. Grant them strength, comfort, and peace as they navigate this tragic loss. Wrap them in your love and guide them through this sorrowful time. Amen."
