My deepest apologies to Ian's family. I lived with Ian at the Brewer house. He was a good friend to have at a bad place in my life. He always had a calming presence about him and warm advice.

Where do I begin? Ian was an absolutely amazing person. He could light up a room with his smile alone. He would show up to work early and stay late, his hard work and diligence spoke volumes. He always had a kind word and brought JOY with him wherever he went. Our talks in the car to and from work will forever be embedded in my spirit. I am so thankful to have met and shared memories with him, as a coworker and friend. Ian, you will be deeply missed. To the Family and Friends, I am so sorry that you have to endure this, you are in my prayers and thoughts. With Love and Respect,

There are scores of people who have found their first little bit of hope in his smile, his sense of humor and the tokens of wisdom that he was willing to share so freely. Your family will be in our prayers and Ian's memory will be forever in our hearts.
