Ian,
You were one of my best friends as a kid, playing kickball on the playground at Spring Hill and hanging out. We met up again in High School but went different paths, and I am very upset to learn you had passed. I'll always cherish the memories of a happier more innocent time we got to share together.

Steve--I found out today about Ian and I am so saddened! You know all of the scripture and encouraging words better than most, so I will just tell you I love you and cherish all of the memories shared with you, Susie, April and Amy. Blessings, my friend!

Steve,
I recently heard about Susie and Ian. I can't imagine your pain. If only all of your dear friends could take a bit of the pain for you. You are so loved and honored. I often hear one of your former students comment on your greatness. I am touched to read all the wonderful comments about Ian. What a treasure he must have been and he had a treasure of a Mom and Dad as well. It has been a long time since I've seen you or Ian. I occasionally saw Susie at Baptist downtown when we worked there and was reminded how sweet you guys are. I know this is hard for you. Just remember, we know the end of the story, God wins!!
Keep the faith,

Our relationship all started years ago when I became a regular customer at Chapman highways Disc Exchange. He was an awesome employee, co-worker as well as friend. He always helped me out with whatever i was looking for wanted to listen to needed, or tried to get. We'd chill at the listening parties or when bands came to play in the store. etc. Ian even read my book I wrote titled. Me & My Tourettes Motivated By God he told me he really enjoyed reading it, especially the part where i said I was a "Renaissance man" just like he was Ian even said to me how was good of a writer I am. Disc Exchange wasn't the only place I would see Ian. We'd see 1 another all around K-Town, we'd chat it up for awhile, we kicked it at free Sundown in The City concerts every year.1 morning I was leaving out the Walter P Projects riding my Gary Fisher bike up MLK until i heard a voice screaming at me from behind Yo! Yo! Myles I looked back and it was like "oh snap my dude Ian is riding his bike I stopped instantly in front of Vine middle school as he caught up and then we rode all the way to downtown through Gay street until we split up. I told him thanks for the ride it was 1 of the best ever. He was a true bycylist who rode any and everywhere just like me a real Ruff ryder riding til the wheels fall off LOL!. All those times I'd see some white dude riding up or down MLK from my cousins Walter P project window or from Nanas front and/or back porch now I know it was ian getting his peedle on all along. I will always miss my fellow music lover and TRUE! bike rider 1LUV Ian Loope

You were one of my favorite teachers and I so enjoyed my time in your classroom...thank you for your positive impact on those in your world, including your wife and son.

Ian, when I think of you I think of late nights at Disc Exchange, with you, Chris & Zach jamming out week after week to At The Drive In. So many good nights hangin' at 90.3 on Wednesdays too. I remember Cotton Jones & David Gray & Crystal Antlers. Also giving you rides all over the place because it seemed like I ran into you everywhere. I will always remember you as someone who knew me and really cared, even if you sometimes showed it by giving me a hard time. I'm so glad I was able to spend so much more time with you over the past couple of weeks, seems like that was meant to be? Love & miss you already, & KILL UGLY RADIO will always live on.

I was Ian's senior year English teacher at Fulton High School, and I still use one of his brilliant essays as an example to my students. He constantly made me laugh and smile. I was only an intern that year, and he and his classmates taught me more than I ever taught him. I ran into him several times in the years since his graduation, and he never failed to make me proud of the person he had become. I am so extremely sorry for your loss. It is truly a loss for us all.

Steve,
It has been many years since we last spoke. I saw Ian's obituary, and then read that your wife had also recently passed, I just could not imagine the sadness and grief you must be feeling at this time. You were a good friend in high school-( you always made me laugh),and a caring teacher for my son. My thoughts are with you, my heart hurts for you.

Steve, My heart is grieving for you with the loss of Susie and Ian. I attempted to attend the graveside service this morning and not knowing exactly where I was going I arrived at 11:00a.m. It looked as if the service had started and not wanting to interrupt, I left. Know that you are in my Prayers and in My Heart. God
promises Us that "Those of Us Who Wait for the Lord Will Gain New Strength: They will Mount up with Wings like Eagles, They Will Run and Not Get Tired, They Will Walk and Not Become Weary." Isaiah 40:31 Have FAITH because God Is Always Faithful!! I Love You and Will Come and Visit with you Soon!

Mr. Loope,
You would be surprised at how often your lessons of the English lessons still affect me today! I loved both of your classes, but I most appreciated your sponsorship of the school newspaper because we grew a special friendship. I remember the day you told me that you were bringing Ian into your family. How I rejoiced in your good news. Now, my heart is breaking for you in your loss. I will lift prayers for your mourning, your strength, and your ability to live your life with the continued faith you have always had. God bless you-

I worked with Ian for about 6 months at a restaurant downtown. I was his manager, and to be honest we were often at odds (as Ian was obviously meant for better and more meaningful employment than restaurant work). During my time with Ian I knew him as a smart, witty and profound. He made us all laugh, but he had the ability to make us think, as well. I am so sorry for your loss and would just like you to know what a lasting impression Ian made on me and his other coworkers; I know for a fact that there are many people still telling "Ian" stories.

Steve, There are no words that can express my sorrow for you right now. Susie was such a lovely person and Ian as I remember him such a cute "little" boy. They are rejoicing in heaven together today. That knowledge alone will keep you going from day to day as you try to understand. Only when you see Jesus' face will you truly know the reason. I love you and I am praying that God gives you super strength every day.

We love you and our hearts painfully ache with you over Ian and Susie. We are so broken for you over this loss, but know that we are lifting you up to our Father. It is obvious that you and Susie continually instilled Godly wisdom into Ian's life to make him the wonderful young man that he was. You are such an amazing testimony to God's unconditional love and the eternal hope that He offers us. Your faith continues to illuminate Christ to countless people. We love you dearly my brother in Christ!

I'm lifting you to the Lord in prayer as my heart breaks for your loss. Seeing your loving interaction with Ian and Susie set a wonderful example for me during my time at Chillhowee Hills, and helped prepare me for my future role as a father and husband. May you feel the presence of our awesome God close to you during this difficult time. Romans 8: 38-39

I never really talked to Ian much after highschool, but I was still his friend in college around campus. He was a crude and funny man and kept me entertained everytime he was around. I'll miss you Ian

Steve,
Our hearts break for you at this time. Please remember we love you and are praying for you to find the strength and guidance you will need during this time and the days to come. Ian was a very special boy and it was a pleasure to be one of his Sunday School teachers in his early years. He has certainly impacted Andy's life as he learned from Ian that ADHD does not have to be a disability but a different ability to impact the world around him. I am so thankful Andy had the role model of "his Ian" during his early years. What a comfort is was to Gary and I to know you and Susie were ready to stand in our gap to raise Andy should anything have happened to us. Please know that you are not alone and there are many people who will always be there for you. We love you Steve, and will continue lifting you to our Father. God never takes us through a trial but to prepare us to walk someone else through the difficulty down the road. As difficult as this is for you now, God is going to use you in a remarkable way to impact someone later on. We love you!

May 20, 2010
As we grieve the passing of Ian and Susie from our lives, we try to celebrate that they have, for the last time, arrived back home - for keeps! We should try to temper our grieving with the knowledge that their wait is over. There will be no more pain or suffering for them for they are in the care of our heavenly Father who heals all hurts and sorrows, all infirmities and sickness, and provides for all our needs for endless time to come. Imagine, Ian and Susie are celebrating the Master, In His Presence, for eternity. Steve, words cannot ease the
pain you are going through but know that we love you and God will bring you through this. He has a plan for you
that only he knows what that plan is.

Steve, I considered Ian as one of my own sons...Corey and Ian, along with all their friends spent many hours in my home over the past few years. I cannot imagine the loss you are experiencing, but I know that Jesus will move, through all your friends and Ian's, to bring comfort and strength in this next season. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

Steve,
As an admirer of the written and spoken language and as one who has studied it and taught it for years, you know that no matter how vast the knowledge or skillful one is in the manipulation of the language, there are no words whether in the present, or ages to come, that can express what your heart and everyone who loves you are feeling at this lonely and sad moment...I could quote you numerous scriptures, but you already know and believe in them and honestly sometimes I think it's best just to stand with you in silence, because you would know with a glance that all of your friends hearts are broken too, we ache with you,we feel lonely because you feel lonely, we weep with you, and we certainly don't understand in this present age, but we will someday...Susie and Ian both know that they were loved and they had a ball being loved in the Loope Fashion Way...What a testimonial to the power of love and family !! You have always packed as much of life as you can in a single moment or a day and it's obvious that that philosophy carried over into Susie's and Ian's life as anyone who knows them will testify to. Ian's short but full life greatly influenced everyone around him as the postings here demonstrate. His legacy is deeply entrenched in the lives of his friends and families and is a direct result of the legacies that you and Susie have given him...He will be greatly missed by all who were touched by him, but one day we are all going to have a blast as we have eternity to share our stories with each other (and we have some !!)...We love you.

I am in complete shock that you are suffering this loss so very soon after Susie's death. Life is not fair and I wish they were both still here with you. I do celebrate that they are with our Lord. But as I know, you, your family and friends are left to grieve this loss. I'm praying you will have strength and that through this nightmarish journey your faith will remain intact. I have many memories of spending time with you when I was young and you have always been a brother I remember with love and laughter. I pray days of joy will return to you my dear friend. I love you so very much.

Dear Mr. Loope,
I went to Fulton with Ian, and I was in NJROTC with him. Ian was honestly one of the funniest people I have ever met. It was truly an honor to know your son. My whole life I was always told to just think about the good memories of someone when they pass away; I hope it brings a little relief to you to know that not only my self, but the entire Fulton H.S. NJROTC family has nothing but good memories of Ian. I cannot express the sorrow I feel for you in words, but I just hope that this entry along with the rest help you in your time of grief.
Jennifer Daniel
May 19, 2010
Steve,
I know that right now it may feel as nothing in this world can take away the pain and loss that you feel. Just know that when you feel most alone God will carry you through. Celebrate the wonderful memories that you have of your beautiful loving family.. rejoice in that they are with their creator and you will see them again. Sending all my love and prayers so that you may endure.
(Romans 8:18) 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
(II Corinthians 12:9-10) 9 He has said to me, "“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”" Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
We Love you Steve.
May 19, 2010
Mr. Loope, I continue to think of you daily and my prayers for you are unceasing. In the days ahead, please know that you will continue to be in my prayers, asking the Lord to pour His grace and peace on you anew each day.

I remember Ian as a small boy at Uncle Carl's and Aunt Rose's during the Loope Christmas party. He would come to me and Jennifer and make us smile even then. I just know that he is up there with his mother and grandfather and with grandpa Jay looking down and watching over you right now. If you need anything at all please let us know. We love you!!!

Mr. Loope, I am so saddened by your loss and feel so that I got the opportunity to meet the man that the little boy I used to hear so much about in English class became. I know your heart is broken right now and so many hearts are breaking for you. You have touched so many lives and I don't think you are even aware how many people were deeply affected by the time that they were blessed to spend in your classroom.

Steve
I will always remember the wonderful talk the Ian shared at Suzie's service. He concluded with "tell someone that you love them wile you still have time". His words come to mind often. You were truly blessed to have a son with the wisdom and insite that Ian posessed. Our Father tell's us that he know's our needs before we even ask. My prayer for you is that He will provide His grace and mercy in a supernatural way before you bring your request. Our prayers will continue for you, your mother and your family. You have been a blessing to us.
We Love You
