Ian Bradford Forrester

Rehab at Gateway by Boregess. I was 24, and he was my friend from that moment I first met him! I'm so heartbroken,...I really wanted good things for Ian! He was so funny and just fun to be around! He will be soooo missed! My condolences to the family, I can't imagine what u must be feeling. Prayers are with you! Fly high Ian, youll be in my heart forever!!! Rest in Peace my friend!

Ian was an amazing person, he was a great friend and he will be missed very dearly !

It was November 2004, we were invited to join a good friend of ours, Thomas Morton, at an Edge Life Expo in Minneapolis! We were both trying to learn how to live life differently, we had many laughs & some not so funny stuff happen on this trip!! I will never forget it or Ian! He´s always had a special place in my heart!! Rest peacefully Ian!!! With love, Michelle S.

I knew Ian since I could remember growing up on West Lake four houses down. He was about 4 years older but always nice to us. Fond memories playing baseball in his yard. I appreciated him coming to my brother John´s funeral this past January. His honest and loving sharing of his struggles that were very similar to my brothers was touching. Addiction and mental illness is a noble struggle.

He was very kind to me , I met him when I worked at the treatment center and he worked at Borgess. My last memory with him was he gave me a pink recovery T-shirt!
