Ian F. DeWitt , I don't know what to say, you were so young. I have known you all the way back to 6th grade. You were an amazing person such a sweetheart would always go out of your way to help another person. You do not deserve to have your life taken so soon. I am aching so bad and I'm in complete shock I can't believe that you are gone. I literally spoke to you like months ago and you advised me on so many things about house buying. Like I literally feel like it was yesterday. My Good friend, know you will be missed and loved always by many. Many hugs to you friend. I will miss you and your posts very much.

Ian was a talented young man whom I held in high esteem. We enjoyed many hours of German class together and laughed everyday! He was a delight to teach and watch grow into the wonderful young man he became! He will be dearly missed.
