I'm so sorry that you lost your son. I hurt as well since we were friends. He was like a brother to me and helped me and gabi in our tough times. It hurts that we all lost him in a short time of him being here with us. I can't go a day not wondering what he would do or say if he saw me doing the things I am doing. I miss him so much and I image you do to.

I am so sorry for your loss. Ian was such a fun-loving young man. I have great memories of him in middle school. Ian had an infectious smile and always said hello to staff, which is something not all kids do. His passing was too soon for a young man with such promise. He will be missed by so many at Woodward-Granger!

I have worked with Ian for over a year now and we always had a great time. Ian was a great person to be around, always talking about cars and sharing experiences, never a dull moment. I will miss him a lot

I am absolutely heart broken about Ian's passing. I wish I could talk to him one more time and see that grin that would make anyone have a better day. I can only hope that your grief is taken away by knowing Ian is no longer struggling or in any pain. May he rest peacefully for eternity. <3
