The family of Sgt Ethan David Reardon, age 23, and the U S Marine Corps have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero from the mortuary to the airport as he is returned home to his family in Oregon, we will be honored to do so.
Ethan was born on June 27, 1998 in Niskayuna, N.Y. to Kendall and Lisa Reardon. He passed away in Oceanside, CA on November 21, 2021.
Ethan grew up in Hermiston, Oregon and graduated from Hermiston High School in 2016. He loved the outdoors and would spend as much time as possible fishing, hunting and camping. Ethan was a member of the Boy Scouts of America for many years and earned the title of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement attainable in the organization.
Ethan enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in November 2016 at the age of 18. Ethan served in the Marine Corps as a field radio operator for five years. Sgt. Reardon was stationed at Camp Pendleton, assigned to the Combat Logistics Battalion 11 (CLB-11). Ethan and his unit completed a six-month Western Pacific deployment aboard the USS Boxer in 2019.

He was a loving husband, beloved son and grandson, dedicated Marine and devoted big brother, and cherished time spent with his wife, Sevana, their three dogs and two horses, his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and his Marine brothers.
He is survived by his wife, Sevana Reardon; his mother, Lisa Reardon; his father, Kendall Reardon; his brother, Isaac Reardon (U.S. Marine); and many U.S. Marine Corps brothers and extended family and friends. He will be dearly missed by all and never forgotten.
