Ivan Lynn Etheridge of Gloucester, was called home on April 5, 2025. Ivan was born into a Navy family on July 31, 1957, in Okinawa, Japan. He lived all over the country before settling in Gloucester in 1992 with his family. He was preceded in death by parents, Ray and Frances Etheridge; brothers, Ronnie, Larry and Robbie Mills; loving wife of 27 years, Shari, and his beloved dog, Pugsley. Ivan is survived by daughter, Casey (Mike) Arden; son, Ray (Kayla) Etheridge, many nieces, and countless friends.

The family would like to send a special thank you to Connie Leigh for her help and support over the last year, Riverside Cancer Center, and Riverside Hospice for their care of Ivan in his final days. The family will be holding a celebration of life at a later date.
