“I don’t want to lose memories.”
Those are the words of a grieving father. Dan Bryan lost his 16-year-old son, Ethan Bryan, on September 16, 2020. It was a regular day for Dan, who left work and realized he still had enough time to catch the tail end of his son’s baseball practice at West County High School in Park Hills, Missouri.

Dan got to the field in time to see Ethan hit a ball that drove in two runs, bringing the practice to a close. On his way to fetch his bat, Ethan looked up to his dad with a wave and a smile. Neither father nor son knew that would be their last encounter. Within an hour, Ethan’s life came to a sudden end.
