Adding Comments from Cassidy here in addition to the original comment on our About page:
Hello Wang Family,
I got a bunch of Ethan’s friends together to play Minecraft. As is customary, the game was preceded by an hour of IT troubleshooting, but miraculously it worked. Playing video games, it was a toss up whether Ethan was going to be competitive, or a carefree agent of chaos. In Minecraft he was usually the latter. It was really nice to get together and remember the jovial spirit Ethan would bring to games. Especially at a time of such loss. Ethan lives on in the community he has fostered, and the joy he brought, and all the goofy antics he wrought. I am forever grateful for this and that is what we remembered as we played. I sent Mrs Wang the beautiful house that we constructed (it was condemned the second it was built) to attach to the post. So you might see how the carefree agent of chaos bit thrived in our friend group.
One thing I particularly loved about Ethan was his ability to meet people where they were. While gaming he adopted different attitudes and playstyles to make sure everyone was included and having a fun time. He also stayed up way too late on school nights to accommodate the night owls (though i wish he prioritized sleep a little more). That’s the kind of person he was.
My friend, my brother, I wish you could’ve been here to see it. You would’ve been laughing maniacally, or satirically frustrated in the most endearing way. I miss the way we would discuss the trivialities of life or utter nonsense because the way you saw them brings so much joy into my life. I suppose the heartbreak of being cut off from that pales in comparison to all the years I’ve been your friend. I was talking to Sky the other day; you understood us in a way that no one else ever will. It was such a unique and treasured feeling we got around you. Anyway, I’m sorry I got soppy there.
I love you bro,
Cassidy
Thank you all for getting together and doing this! Almost the whole gang!! Your words are so beautiful in remembering the friend and brother he is to you. We have known you all for such a long time. Some of you all the way back to early days of elementary school! Thanks for reminding me of his laugh… takes my breath away. It is amazing and an honor to have you all join in the Game Days. I know Ethan is always on your minds and hearts. Know that you all are always on mine as well.
Also, I have received the amazing GIF you created from the Minecraft session and will be sharing that in our Memorial Game Days RE-Play. Thank you!
