Our Story

The Ethan Carlos Foundation was created in loving memory of our son, Ethan Alexander Carlos - a young man whose life was defined by faith, kindness, joy, and a deep love for others.

Ethan had a rare gift for making people feel seen, valued, and inspired. He lived each day with purpose, guided by a simple but powerful set of promises rooted in self-belief, perseverance, and compassion. After Ethan’s passing, our family felt called to honor his legacy by continuing the work he began of uplifting young people, strengthening communities, and spreading love through action.

Today, the Ethan Carlos Foundation empowers youth to overcome adversity and reach their fullest potential through scholarships, mental health initiatives, community programs, and acts of kindness - all inspired by Ethan’s heart and his unwavering belief in others. We’ve vowed to carry on his legacy of selfless giving, helping others, and spreading his message of hope, love, and perseverance.

Live Like Ethan. Love Like Ethan.
