Words cannot express the sadness and shock I felt when I opened the paper and saw Ian's picture. Ian was a very significant part of my life for a long time, and although we went our separate ways five years ago, he has always had a special place in my heart and always will. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, his wife and his little boy. Nothing can completely heal this wound, but I pray that as time goes on, the pain will ease for all of you. I wish you all strength and sweet memories during the days, weeks and months to come. Ian, you will be greatly missed and always remembered!
Much love & sympathy,
Stacey

Ian was a great guy. I knew him through some paintball websites, and was fortunate enough to meet him in person at a few big games. He is a part of many great memories.

I will forever treasure one paintball marker I purchased from him- he included a very nice extra barrel with it as a housewarming gift since it was the first marker I bought when I moved. That's just the kind of man he was. I'll miss hm very much.

My deepest condolences to his family.

Ian was truly one of a kind. The word sadness does not come close to how I feel about the loss. I will remember the fun times we had together with the rest of the group. He was always so compassionate and caring. I will miss his laughter. My heart goes out to his family, his wife, and his son. The world lost such a great friend. I havent seen him in years but that doesnt mean that he was forgotten. He will always be in memory.

Ian was a friend of mine from HVCC. Glad we got to enjoy a camping trip to Roger's Rock in 2011. My thoughts are with his wife, son, and his entire family.

Ian, you were a ton of fun even when we were constantly yanking each others chains on the fourms. Your sense of humor will be missed at Mcarterbrown.com. and EMR. I hope your family will find out how many of us you made laugh over the years. Take care! I hope you are laughing it up and that they have paintball where ever you are now! - Schmitti
