Ethan Jr. was born May 27, 2014, at 3:05 PM and weighing 6 pounds 13 ounces at Bismarck, North Dakota, to Ethan Bendickson Sr. and Genevieve Silk. He was a happy baby and smiled at everyone. Even at his young age he could sit up on his own and was doing a crawl that would make us smile. He was attached to his family but mostly to his mom and dad and his big sister, Mini, who would hold him and keep him with her all the time. Our little angel is now with our big angel in heaven. His Uncle Joe, we know is smiling and holding our baby angel. Little Ethan Jr. will be forever in our hearts. Although we didn't have a lot of time with our son, we cherish every moment he gave us. He was our baby. Those he left to mourn for him are his parents; brothers, Ryan White Cloud, Ajilon Bendickson, Tristan Bendickson, and Samuel Silk; sisters, Mini White Cloud, Desiree White Cloud, Kiara White Cloud, Mariah White Cloud, and Ninieka Bendickson; grandparents, Christopher Silk, Nola Silk, Ivan Bendickson, and Karen Whitebull. Ethan Jr. was preceded in death by his two grandmothers, Patricia White Bull-Richard, and Rebecca Taylor; two uncles, Roger Taylor Jr., and Joseph "baby Joe" Eagleman; and aunt, Kasheena Rae White Bull.
