The family received friends Thursday, May 8, from 4-6 p.m. at West Center Chapel with Memorial Service at 6 p.m.

He was born Oct. 17, 1994, to Carolyn (Warth) and Norman Hale in Colorado Springs, Colo. He was a brother to Logan Hale and bonus brother to Andrea Meazza. Ethan was a loving father to Vienna, Ariah and Cyrus who will feel his loss most of all.

Ethan was studying to start automotive painting. He had a love for painting and art and was working hard to turn his passion into a lifelong career.

Ethan was a free spirit who wandered through life chasing every interest and adventure he could find. We hope that everyone can take a little adventure from Ethan and carry it with them always.

Ethan will be forever missed and remembered by those who knew and loved him. A soul taken too soon, but with the smallest bit of hope finally reunited with his Dad with a big hug in heaven.

Survived by Carolyn Hale, Jeanette Warth, Logan and Kimberly Hale; nephews Grayson and Beckett, Aunts, Uncles and cousins.

Preceded in death by Norman Hale, Otto (Sam) Warth, and Christine Lebbert.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the fund for Ethan's children to support their future dreams.
