Obituary of Ethan F. Sabatini - Villafane

Our beloved Ethan Francis Sabatini-Villafane, age 23, gained his wings unexpectedly on Monday, March 7, 2022. Ethan was born on September 7, 1998 in Voorhees, NJ. He is survived by those who loved him most including his mother, Dana Sabatini; father and stepmom, Omar and Rebecca Villafane; brothers, James Tole Jr. and Jacob Villafane; sister, Nicolette Villafane; grandmothers, Elaine Sabatini, Carmella Orlandini and Alicia Villafane; grandfather, Julio Rodriguez; uncle, Frank Sabatini Jr.; aunts, Melanie Sabatini, Vanessa Rodriguez-Arbona and Brenda Rodriguez; and many cousins that will miss him dearly. Ethan is predeceased by his grandfather, Frank Sabatini, Sr. Ethan graduated from Clearview High School in 2017. Aside from loving his family wholeheartedly, Ethan's greatest devotion was to the Military. He was an active duty U.S. Navy Sailor AT3 stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. Those who were lucky to know Ethan, knew of his passion to help others and lift them up, knew of his unmatchable energy and his loyalty to those he loved. Ethan also enjoyed music, poetry, clothes, of course, and let's not forget his car! Life is truly short and we are reminded of this every day. Love the people who are placed in your life and create memories that'll last a lifetime. Hug your kids tight and tell them you love them as tomorrow is not promised. Ethan's smile lit up the room and now he will light up the Heavens. When you see the sky shining bright, just know that is Ethan.
