Mr. Ethan Lewis Hahn, 24, of Hildebran, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 20, 2023.
Ethan was born on April 27, 1999, in Catawba County to Mark Hahn and Holly Sain Hahn. He graduated from East Burke High School as the Valedictorian in 2017 and went on to graduated Suma Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Appalachian State University. He was currently employed as a software engineer for ECRS. Ethan was a member of Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Boone and attended East Valdese Baptist Church here locally. He traveled on numerous mission trips, participated in a firewood ministry at Mount Vernon for the needy in the Boone area, and was preparing to travel through the United States to continue to spread God’s word to college campuses. It would be wise to say Ethan would point out his tragic passing as a way to ask friends and family if they were ready to meet their Lord & Savior, and that the moment could be upon any of us at any time.
Surviving in addition to his parents, is his sister, Kaylee Hahn of the home, his grandparents, Joe and Mary Ruth Hahn of Newton and Ralph and Judy Sain of Hildebran. Also surviving are numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 11:00 A.M. at East Valdese Baptist Church with Rev. Chip Stallings officiating. Interment will follow at Burke Memorial Park.
While no formal visitation will be held, Ethan will lie in state from 10:00 A.M. until 10: 45 AM on Saturday, at East Valdese Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Gideons International or to livingwaters.com.
