Ian was a friend of my brothers. He was sweet and always had beautiful energy. He was a smart kid and a hard worker. He worked for neighbors for extra spending money if he wanted something. My most sincere condolences to the family for their loss and pain. Sometimes god calls home the best of his children and they are here with us only a short time. I know you are missing him, but he is not missing you as he is there with you in spirit, all the time.
With a heavy heart
The Jensen family.

Sometimes, right when you think your life is getting better everything falls to pieces, and your back where you started. In those moments just remember that when your life seems, something unexpected will come along a new person, friend, opportunity, or discovery, that will help you put the pieces back together again. Don't hold together what must fall apart. The familiar life crumbles so the new life can begin things may be different but you will love your life in time.
Ian you for your young sweet age 22 left us way to soon but the good ones always do. You were one of the most but together people I know, with your high spirits, your kindness and your ever loving nature,you will not be forgotten and will always be missed. But your loving memory will live on, fly with the angels dear boy may the Goddest always be with you and yours
Love you
