About Ethan Somedy
Ethan Grey Somedy was born on September 21, 1964 in San Bernardino, California, to John Edward and Judith Elaine (Abbott) Somedy. The family moved to Scotts Valley, in Santa Cruz County, California when he was young and he grew up there as an only child. Ethan earned his BA in Physics and worked as a Civil Engineer at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, in Vallejo, California, until it's closure in 1996. He later worked as a Smog Tech in Scotts Valley.
Ethan was a vibrant, intelligent guy, very animated and full of fun, and he had aquired many skills during his lifetime. Ethan enriched the lives of all of those who were close to him, and he will be missed very much.

- If i still lived in california i would have attended the memorial. I haven't touched base with ethan since the late 1980s. He was one very intelligent, brilliant, creative, and fun person getting a degree in astro physics from ucsc. We went to high school & cabrillo and during these years worked a part-time job together in capitola. We had a good time together i recall taking trips down to santa barbara to visit friends. Or, hanging out at parties after college. I always wondered what happened to ethan. Only today did i discovered he passed and i was very sad with a few tears. I know he had some issues(with the bottle and other) which may have prevented him from reaching his full potential in his life both personally and professionally. But, his life was way too short for somebody with his intelligence. Kindest regards, jim pelkey.

- Seeing ethan's photo and reading comments brings up a lot. Ethan had his own spark of life, his own personality, voice, laughter, etc. I didn't know him well or see a lot of hime, but he mattered to me and i'm glad to have met him. His being the father of my daughter's sister involves me. So, i reach in prayer to
join others on this road of grief. There's no answer i can offer to explain anything. Yet, we can all nod in agreement, affirming each other, growing together through these times. I hope even this forum will lead to opportunities to process things, and in our sharing become closer. May i suggest we honor the site of his passing, by planting something pretty (flowers, a bush or tree)that will be an offer of our ongoing rememberance of him. - - Mark Moore

- Ethan and i were neighbors on good old lockhart gulch road -- just across the street -- i remember the good old days of being (for the lack of a better term) nerdy and playing dungeons and dragons -- ethan was always the dungeon master because of his incredible imagination. We were always outdoors because of the somewhat pastoral setting in the redwoods with 'the creek' running behind his house -- we were always trying to dam that thing up (invariably without success) -- used to nab some matches and try out fire making skills in the redwood forest -- u know redwood doesn't burn so well. I also fondly remember playing frisbee with john (his dad) and his friends (especially marcellus) on the street where they would try to keep the frisbee from ethan and i. We used to ride our bikes to the end of lockhart gulch, hang a right on mt. Hermon road and head on down to felton; and sometimes ride all the way to santa cruz on hwy 9 -- it was the early 70's, what can i say. And on may 25, 1977; star wars was released -- we used to save our dollars, stop by camp evers grocery and get a bottle of coke (in the bottle with a deposit) drink the coke, return the bottle; then head down to the newly opened theater and watch star wars two, sometimes three times per week (nerdy, i know. ) then i moved away to high school in san jose and unfortunately we lost touch. I had a feeling earlier today that 'you know, i should look up ethan online to see if i can touch bases with him'. I was deeply saddened when the story that came up when searching for him stated that he had passed away last month. My deepest condolences to the family and friends; i'm sure he will be missed.

- Ethan and i went to school together in 6,7 and 8th grade at scotts valley intermediate school. We had alot of fun times both at school and at his home off lockhart gulch - especially when we rode the bus!!! i wish i had known he was in boulder creek. It makes me wonder how many times i passed him or saw him and it just didn't register (i thought he was on a oil rig out of texas that was what someone had told me). To his family ~ he truly was funny and vibrant!!! i feel for your lose and my prayers will be with you. With the warmest of regards, janie.
