More than $38,000 has already been raised through a fundraiser supporting the family of Ethan Assion Ramos, the 17-year-old Northwest High School student who died following a single-vehicle crash in Germantown.
The GoFundMe was established to help cover funeral and memorial expenses as the family navigates the unexpected loss.
“Our greatest wish is to give Ethan a beautiful farewell, one that honors his life, memory, and the love he shared with everyone around him,” the family wrote.
The family said any donations exceeding the cost of Ethan’s memorial expenses will be donated to a charity close to him.
Ramos, an 11th-grade student at Northwest High School, died following a crash on Riffle Ford Road near Seneca Creek Trail at approximately 3:19 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11. According to Montgomery County Police, the Jeep Wrangler he was driving left the roadway, struck multiple trees and overturned. Ramos was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
According to FOX 5, school officials remembered Ethan as an avid swimmer and a kind, thoughtful and respectful student who was deeply loved by his friends and school community.
“Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten,” his family wrote.
The Montgomery County Police Collision Reconstruction Unit continues to investigate the crash.
