I am so very sorry for your loss!!! This hurts my heart! I was the admin at the DI when Ian was hired. He was so pleasant to be around and had an amazing work ethic. I recall Costco coming in one day to do a membership event. They were so impressed with Ian, they wanted to hire him on the spot. I know Ian will be dearly missed! Know that my prayers are with you.

  I worked with Ian at DI from February-August 2023. He was always super hard-working and helpful. Definitely a person I look up to. I send my condolences and prayers to the family.

    Hey, Ian. I remember when they finally finished building that house in Crystal Lake when I was in middle school. Although we only talked here and there through the end of high school, I recently wondered what you’d been up to since. I heard about what happened just now, and it seems like you’ve done well for yourself since we last spoke. I’ll make sure to drive by that house next time I visit home. Rest easy.
