Ian and I met my freshman year of high school when we both joined the same rowing team at the time I didn’t have many friends but Ian and I clicked we would talk about music games movies and so much more. After crew we started hanging out frequently and playing music together and soon he became my best friend I have so many fond memories of Ian that I will never forget. He brought an energy into any room he entered he was kind, charismatic, and just a good person. Ian was more than a friend we was like a brother to me and my heart goes out to his family if there is anything I can do for you don’t be afraid to ask.

Rest in peace Ian I'm really going to miss you

I was lucky enough to have Ian pass through the walls of my classroom in the 5th Grade at the Ryan School. I remember him being new to Tewksbury at the time. He was quick to make new friends and bring out the best in his classmates. Ian was intelligent, kindhearted, quick-witted, and always had a book in his hand. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Ian. Although I never met Ian I enjoyed hearing so much about him through the stories you shared in class. I recall thinking what a kind and thoughtful teenage boy he must be to surprise the family with breakfast treats after a shift at Trader Joe's. I was so impressed by his ability to do so well his first year at UMASS despite the challenges of Covid and "learning from his childhood bedroom" as you always put it! My heart breaks for you, Jeff and Marco and I pray you find healing and peace.

I can't believe he's gone. It's been so long since I last saw him and I regret it so much. He really was so nice and funny and energetic, and so so unique. To this day I never met anyone else like him. Being with him we're some of the best childhood memories of mine. I love every moment I can remember of him. At Bancroft we came up with a comedy show idea that never really got off the ground. I hope some day we'll see each other again and we can finish shooting. My condolences to his friends and family. Rest in Peace, Ian.

Ian and I shared a love for music with his Mom as the go-between. I loved when Laura would share a video of him jamming out to great songs. They introduced me to Dirty Honey, a current band that sounds like some of the best bands from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Thank you - I will always think of Ian when I listen to them. Lots of love and prayers go out to Ian's family. There's no doubt in my mind that he is "buying a stairway to heaven."

I met Ian at the Ryan school shortly after he moved to Tewksbury. He was a great friend to me and I feel so lucky to have shared so many memories with him through middle school and high school, including class trips and especially our senior year english class together. I think of him when I remember many of my fondest memories of school. Ian is a tremendous loss and I miss him deeply. My heart is with his family and friends at this time; he was such an extraordinary mind and soul.

I met Ian at an outpatient partial program in fall of 2018 where I remember his kind energy that he so willingly gave to others, a bright spot among teens struggling with mental illness. It saddens me that he was unable to show himself the kindness and positivity he showed to others despite all efforts taken to relieve the pain of mental illness. I find comfort in knowing that now he is finally free and at peace, and I offer my sincerest condolences for your loss of a wonderful boy who fought bravely and will be remembered fondly by all.

Ian was such a beautiful boy/young man inside and out. He was witty, curious, adventurous, creative, and loving. He was very talented with music, loved literature and prose. I already miss him calling me “Auntie Kat.” We both loved Queen and Freddie Mercury and George Michael! He would often send me videos of himself learning a new Queen song on guitar. He was like an old soul. I shared with him my struggles with Bipolar 1 and he often confided in his mama his concerns or worries for me. He was such a loving person. I just saw him 2 weeks ago when he came to AZ and he had concerns about my health. I can’t believe this amazing kid was worried about me… with all he struggled with in his own mind. I told his mama that I would honor him by investing time in my own mental and physical health so I can be around for a long time for my sons… I love you Ian. “Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy” - John Lennon

It is difficult to put into words the profound sense of sorrow your loss brings me. Ian was kind and thoughtful, with a wit and sense of humor largely fostered by his loving parents. I will always cherish the time we spent together in the NAHS library. My sincerest condolences are with you, Jeff, and Marco during this time, and may Ian's spirit live eternal in the lives he so graciously touched on this Earth.
