Ian and I's lives intersected in high school. I got the privilege of driving Ian around, which gave us a lot of time together sharing Copenhagen and finding the next best Country music hidden Gems. Ian could always find them. We shared a passion for football and baseball and spent many hours driving down to Farmington, NM, for batting practice in preparation for upcoming baseball seasons. Ian was so kind and welcoming to me as the new guy. He welcomed me into his group of friends and truly made my experience of Durango amazing. I loved going to the McKnights' house and felt so welcome there by the entire family. Ian and I lost touch over the years, but I still remember that smile he'd give me when I first pulled up for a hangout. I am lucky to have called you a friend, Ian!
