Where's Ian? Lynn, we met you and Ian last April in Marco Island, Fl. When we arrived this month, we fully expected to see him at "Ian's table" by the pool and hot tub. We only knew you and Ian one month but we loved his stories and his love of life. I searched his name and sadly found this obituary. I mentioned his passing to Enrique and Jesus and they were very saddened. Enrique told us many fond memories of Ian.
Our sincerest condolences on your loss.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories will help you cope. Ian created so many good memories as my partner and supervisor at Fleetwood Ambulance days. He was always so supportive and good natured about sharing his emergency care skills. Very up beat.

You will be so very missed. Such a big and bright personality, who always meant business when it came to our boys and their well being.

When we left the team last year, the one person Noah said he missed the most was you. He was so excited to have you in charge of his care again, especially your special spray.

Noah & I are very grateful that you were there for him on Saturday, taking care of him after being knocked out on the ice. You were so gracious and wonderful and we will all miss you terribly!

Sending much love to your family, and hope they know that your extended hockey family is here in anyway they may need.

Rest peacefully Ian, thanks for making such a positive impact on this world. You will never be forgotten.
