Ethan grew up in Lampasas.  He graduated High School in 2021.  He received academic achievements during his school years.  Since the age of 15, Ethan was a diligent worker.  He loved his entire family with all he had.  He also worked hard at giving all he could volunteering in his local congregation.  His presence brought peace to all.  His smile/smirk and quiet little laugh lit up any room.  He was laid back and calm, yet ready to help at a moment's notice without wanting any recognition. He had a witty sense of humor and enjoyed practical joking with his family and close friends.  He loved spending time at home playing games and watching sports.  He was a fantastic basketball player.  He loved to play golf, especially with his brother, Bedford Hale Jr.  He was good at every sport and game he attempted with an adorable competitive side that you couldn't help but love.  He had a love for Jehovah God and His creations since infancy.  He especially enjoyed caring for all kinds of animals and they loved him too.  He shared a close bond with his dog, Reggie.

Ethan is survived by his parents, Bedford and Deborah Hale of Lampasas; his brother, Bedford Hale Jr. and wife Caitlyn of Killeen; grandparents, Paul and Mary Hale of Lampasas, Marie McInerney of Lampasas, and Robert McInerney and wife Judy of Copperas Cove; uncles, PJ Hale and wife Darla of Clute, Norbert Hale of Kempner; his aunts, Heather Tovar and husband Rafael Sr. of Lampasas, Louise (Weezie) Hale of Lampasas, Rachel Barrantes and husband Alonso of Costa Rica; first cousins, Paige Skelton and husband Joe of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Rafael Tovar Jr. of Lampasas, Lauren Tovar of Lampasas and John Isaac Hale of Kempner.  Ethan also had lifelong friends and many others that are just like family.  Ethan sleeps in peace for now, but he will remain deeply missed and adored until we see him again.  (Isaiah 26:19)
