Dearest Laura, Though I never got to meet your Ian, I've practically watched him grow up before my eyes. Twenty years have passed since so many of us met online. Since then, Ian and the other babies all feel like family. It is with gut wrenching sorrow that I extend my deepest condolences for your and your family's loss. It's clear Ian was an amazing young man and a beautiful human being. May his loving memory provide you with peace and comfort through this terrible loss. I send you a great big hug.

Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Ian once when we all met up at the Museum of Science many years ago, I know what a truly special and talented kid he was. My heart goes out to you, your family, and all that have been honored to know Ian.

I was Ian’s 7th grade English teacher. He was well-spoken, respectful, funny, and absolutely memorable. Based on what I’m reading, it is clear he had this type of impact on so many. Sending my thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Laura I am so deeply sorry to hear of Ian’s passing. You and all those who loved him are in my heart.
i remember during ian’s junior year i was invited to a beach trip with a few of his friends and one friend of mine. he noticed i was feeling uncomfortable and left out by not knowing many people and started conversation with me. it’s so sweet how he noticed and cared, we became friends after that day and hung out a few times watching twilight and cringing at their acting, he played some music for me and even let me try although i had no idea what i was doing. i’ll miss ian very much he was the sweetest soul. sending love to you all 🤍
I want to give my heartfelt condolence at this difficult time. I did not know Ian very well myself, but heard about him constantly from my daughter. They became friends and his presence in her life meant so much to her. His humor was shared through her to our family. He definitely made an impact on friends and family around him. Ian will be missed.
Laura,
I’m so incredibly sorry to learn of Ian’s passing. Reading through the posts in this memorial, it’s clear to see how special Ian was to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. You and your family will continue to be on my mind and heart during this very difficult time.❤️
We are so very sorry Laura, there are no words. Just know that we are all thinking about you and Jeff,Marco. Prayers and big hugs sent your way. Love Jim Kim , the boys and Jackie.❤❤❤❤
Ian was a sweet, funny, talented, tenacious and charismatic person. He had an empathetic spirit and gave the best hugs. I remember our time in the Wynn Middle School Drama club, where he never failed to make others laugh with a prompt witty comment. Even more so, I fondly remember sharing classes together in sixth grade and throughout high school especially sophomore chemistry and the Chinese food day! I thought Ian was kidding when he said he wanted to have a Chinese food party during class. He was a person of his word and determined to make this fun time happen!

I also remember Ian’s passion for music. I will never forget him on the TMHS stage barefoot and playing his guitar with such a fervent joy.

Thank you Ian for being authentic and always genuinely kind. You have touched the lives of so many. I’ve always wondered if God’s window from heaven allows one to see how much joy they brought to others. I hope that Ian is happily looking down and reading these posts, making a witty joke or two!

To Ian’s family, closest friends, and our community, I extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers. I hope that hearing about the profound impact that Ian had on so many brings some solace and comfort during this time.❤️

Laura, so many of we Weasels never met in person, yet love each other and each other's children as though they lived next door for the past 19 years. You've not been out of my mind since the tragic news. Thank you for sharing Ian's beautiful light with us, since the day he was born. From around the world, we are surrounding and holding you tightly, with heartbreak and love.
