We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved son, Ethan Daniel Crognale, on Friday April 12, 2024, at the age of 23, from brain cancer. Ethan passed away at his home in Middletown, PA, with his family by his side. He was a fighter throughout his life, having battled a previous brain cancer at age nine as well as the daily challenges he faced with Autism. Ethan attended the Vista School in Hershey from the ages of 3 to 19, where he had many enjoyable years. Even though Ethan had never spoken a word, he would always find a way to communicate to take us to where and what he wanted. He had an infectious smile, a fun-loving personality and was quick as a flash. As a child, he could be seen running from the house with his dad chasing him down. Ethan especially loved the water, whether it was the pool, the ocean or just the plain old bathtub.

Ethan is survived by his mother Lisa and his father Daniel in Camp Hill, PA, and siblings Mia and Nick at home. In addition to his parents and siblings, Ethan is survived by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins. He was preceded in death by his aunt Nicole and his Grandpa Al.

Funeral services will be private and handled at the convenience of the family.

In lieu of flowers and in honor of Ethan, please consider donating to United Cerebal Palsy (UCP) of Central PA , 55 Utley Dr, Camp Hill, PA 17011, UCP provided significant support in the last years of Ethan's life.
