Ethan Reese Kappel, 19, passed unexpectedly from diabetic complications on December 16, 2022 at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Ethan, known to many as Jesse, was enjoying his first year in college as a Communications Major.
Ethan was born on October 21, 2003 to Alisa and Matthew Kappel. They attended Chanhassen High School, graduating in 2022 where they were very active in Band, Jazz Band, Debate, and Drama.

They are also blessed to be surrounded in love by grandparents Lynda and Glenn Schull, grandparents Linda and Larry Kappel, aunts and uncles Josh (Lily) Schull, Sheila (Ben) Flikeid, and Justin (Stephanie) Kappel, and cousins Isabelle, Mila, Raymond, and Murphy.
