Just weeks after he got to see Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones' thrilling 77-yard touchdown run in the brightly colored cleats he designed, 12-year-old Ethan Haley has died.
The Rochester, New York, boy was diagnosed in 2018 with anaplastic ependymoma, multiple tumors on his brain and spinal cord. He had undergone multiple surgeries and more than 80 rounds of radiation before receiving palliative care.
Haley died Dec. 20, one day before Jones was selected for the NFL Pro Bowl. Haley is survived by his parents, Nate and Kristen; four siblings, Israel, Najma, Janoah, and Luda; and his dog, Milo, according to his obituary.
