Ian had an infectious smile! I was his 6th Grade Study Hall monitor at Woodward-Granger. He was among the many bright spots of that particular class. Never failed to acknowledge me in public, always with a huge smile and some joking words. I was terribly saddened to hear of his passing and hope that all the good things you learn about your wonderful son brings some comfort to your heavy hearts now and in the future. Blessings to you and the family. Ian, soar with the Angels babe, I know you'll be the very best one!

So very sorry for this tragic loss. I have a fond memory of Ian to share with you. About a year ago, I was at a garage sale in Woodward, and Ian ran up to me and gave me a big hug. I was a teacher of his, and I make students their favorite treat for their birthdays. When he was still a student at Woodward-Granger, he requested lemon cake, and he took home the leftovers in my container. At that garage sale, he said I have something for you, and he ran to his home and brought back my container. It had been about a year since he had been in school at Woodward. I will never forget the hug and the joy of making him lemon cake.
