Ethen Richardson Obituary

Ethen Taylor Richardson MT. PLEASANT - Ethen Taylor Richardson, 8, of Mt. Pleasant entered into the arms of the Lord from the arms of his mother on May 7, 2014. Ethen was born on June 5, 2005 to Stephen Todd Richardson and Brandy Herrin Richardson in Milledgeville, GA. He was a student at Pinckney Elementary School and was in the gifted and talented program (SAIL). Ethen was an old soul that had the kindest heart. Everyone he met loved him immediately and he gave the warmest hugs. He had a voice, with a little lisp, that could stop anyone and make them smile. Throughout his struggles and treatments he never complained and fought to the end. He is survived by his mother and father; his siblings, Elijah, Emi Sue, and Evan "Man Man"; his paternal grandparents, Syble and Homer Richardson, and his maternal grandparents, Sherrer and Van Herrin. Ethen is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and the enormous extended family of TEAM Ethen. There will be a Celebration of Life held today, May 10, 2014 from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Awendaw Green, 4879 North Hwy 17, Awendaw, SC. Friends, family and all of TEAM Ethen are invited to attend.
