Born in Bennington on December 5, 1990, on his big brothers birthday, one year later. He was the son of Allen and Rebecca (Begin) Andrews. Ethan received his early education at the Pownal School and was a 2009 graduate of Mt. Anthony Union High School. A devoted and talented wrestler from the age of 5 until 16, Ethan earned many awards and accolades over the years. Some highlights are third at Nationals, earning an All American status, JV Most Valuable Wrestler, JV state champ 103lbs; 32-0 that year, undefeated.

He had formally been employed at Pizza Hut, National Hanger and Hampton Inn in Bennington. At the onset of his illness Ethan was employed at the Hampton Inn in Manchester.

Ethan was a jack of all trades who loved fixing and repairing all types of items for his family and numerous friends. He enjoyed four-wheeling trips to Sucker Pond in his Jeep with his girls and his dog, Clifford. He loved animals, nature and all types of wildlife. He forged knives and had an obsession to collect numerous different types of flashlights! He will be remembered as a person who did anything for anybody but his favorite times were those spent with his daughters, Layla and Willow. Ethan was always there to stick up for and protect those who could not protect themselves, he was always there for the "little guy".
