As one of Ian’s friends, I’m sorry I couldn’t attend his funeral, I didn’t know how to feel, he was one of closer friends in 3rd grade and he was a really funny kid, when he passed I didn’t want to accept it. I remember endless nights of Fortnite, I wish I could’ve stayed in touch with him. I am sorry for your loss I know it hit you guys the hardest, I know Ian is resting easy. My prayers and condolences
