Ethan Benjamin Salazar

Ethan Benjamin Salazar, 20, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 7, 2025 surrounded by his loving family after a courageous  battle with cancer.

Survivors include his parents, Pablo and Mary Salazar of Jesup, Georgia and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and other extended family members.
