Ethan M. Grimm, age 14, was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday March 15, 2008, after a courageous 9 year battle with cancer.

Ethan was born in Omaha on December 30, 1993 to Tracy and Marcy (Miller) Grimm. Ethan was a seventh grade student at St. Albert.

He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Robert J. Miller.

Ethan's life will be remembered for his love of family, his passion for his Iowa Hawkeyes and his St. Albert Falcons; his dog; Harley, and his cat, Zinc. Ethan loved playing baseball, basketball, bowling, and living a normal fun filled life with his family and friends. Ethan's glowing personality and determination for life made it easy to receive an out pouring of support from his St. Albert, St. Patrick, and Council Bluffs Community families for the past nine years.
