To me ian was more than a friend. He was everything good in life.I rememeber the first time I saw him in class in elementary school and I remember the immediate spark I felt between us. Over the years that spark grew into a flame and soon a fire. There was not a day in middle school I can remember walking home without him walking me to my door. I can still remember our 8th grade romance to the first time he told me he was growing dreadlocks to the first time he decided to learn how to skateboard. I want you guys to know that He was the greatest person I ever met. There was never a moment in life when I can remember him speaking a harmful word. I wish I could truly express how much he meant to me, I know you understand though. he was truly and angel that I look to heaven in prayer for everyday. I know he loved you both so much and I am so proud and admire him for everything he was and continues to be in my heart. I love you guys and will continue to follow in your sons footsteps.

Dear Susie and Jim,
This is Carmen. Fortunately, I was able to come to Denver for Thanksgiving. That was my first encounter with Ian. I never really had a relationship with a cousin my age. We weren't able to spend that much time together but I could tell that he truly was a loving person. You will be in my prayers. And he will be truly missed. I love you guys.

Ian, I miss you so much and I love you bro.
We lost special friends today,
God Said they could not stay.
The hurt and anger we all feel,
to hide that this can't be real.
We all ask God "why,
they were just learning how to fly"?
"Well my children" he said "let it rest"....
You know I only take the best.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace,
Ian was a great friend. I have great memories of him and I will always keep them close to my heart. God Bless you both and always know that Ian touched many of us in so many ways.

Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, I am so sorry about your lose. I cant believe how hard it is to loose your only son. I only knew Ian for a short time but the time that I did know him was very good. He was a sweet person who loved life. But he is with God and everytime I get sad I remember that God wanted them to come home and now they are. My family and I are praying for you and wish you the best while you both are going threw this hard time.

Blessings,

Dear Jim and Sue,
Joyce and I were in Indiana for the holidays when we received a call from Trustco telling us of your son's death. Words can never express the pain of such loss, but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I only knew Ian as a baby before our Travelers paths parted, but you surely can be proud of the fine young man you raised and whose memory you will always cherish, as will the many others whose lives he touched.

I was informed of the loss of Ian through a mutual friend. Emily Thompson's mother, Cindy, had sent me an e-mail telling me of the tragic accident that had happened around Christmas time. From what Cindy has told me about Ian, he would be a pleasure to know. The kind of young man Emily loved and cared for a great deal. I'm inclined to think that whenever this kind of loss occurs it tears the fabric of our society enough that it affects people that don't even know Ian. I am so sorry.
Veronica Jackson

To the family of Ian Wallace:
The depths of your sadness over the loss of your son, we can only imagine unless we ourselves have experienced such a profound loss. Personally, I have a special fondness of beautiful smiles-what a smile that son of yours had! As a teenager I was a cheerleader, so Mom bought me a shirt that said “enthusiasm is contagious-let’s have an epidemic!” Clearly, from the statements and expressions of Ian’s peers and friends of your family, Ian was a testament to the truthfulness of that saying. Undoubtedly, he will be sorely missed, and please understand, our hearts Tracy (James), Veronica, Valauna, and Chase, ache for your loss.
Following the death of all ten of his children, as well as some other personal tragedies, the ancient patriarch Job said: “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning,” (Job 14:14, 15) showing Jehovah’s willingness to perform the resurrection.
May your family take comfort in God’s promises, as did Job, in the truthful hope for the future-Jehovah God, who started mankind off in paradise, has promised to restore Paradise on this earth under the rule of His heavenly Kingdom in the hands of the now glorified Jesus Christ. (Genesis 2:7-9; Matthew 6:10; Luke 23:42, 43) In that restored Paradise, the human family will have the prospect of enjoying life without end! (Psalms 37:10, 11)
Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth: “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”

Dear Jim and Sue,
I am deeply sadden by the news of the loss of your son Ian. I can't imagine the pain you are experiencing at this time. I have only had the pleasure of knowing you Jim and can only imagine that Ian exemplified the same character qualities of his father. Sue and Jim my heartfelt prayers are with you at this time and will continue into the future. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make his face to shine upon you, may He give you peace and hold you in the palm of His hand.
With deepest symphathy,

Dear Jim and Family:
I was saddened to learn of the loss of your son. Another person in my office had asked me about Ian, as he is a relative of Cleo Parker-Robinson, whose dance theatre I insure. At the time I did not put two and two together, but was later advised by an employee at Travelers.
Jim, I was never privileged to meet Ian. Only through our talks about family did I know of him. But I know of his father and so I know he was a great young man! I know that he will be sorely missed - remember and treasure up the great memories he left and know that he is in a better place. Wendy and I want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Wallace Family,
My heart breaks for you with the loss of your precious son, Ian. Ian was a wonderful friend to my daughter Emily, who misses him terribly, and will carry him in her heart throughout her life. I will cherish the memories I have of Ian taking my youngest son trick-or-treating last Halloween, his beautiful smile and his sweet spirit. What a wonderful son you have raised. I wish I had words to ease your pain. I am truly sorry, and will keep your family in my prayers.

Dear Sue and Jim,
I am so, so saddened to hear about Ian. I have so many wonderful memories of him while he was in Connecticut as he was like having another son and a brother for Jared. I will always remember the soccer games and Shady Glen afterwards or the never ending baseball games that Sue and I sat through watching the boys. I think about our trips to the fitness center and later pizza as a reward. I remember Friendlys ice cream where the boys wanted clown cones....Jared liked the chocolate and Ian always vanilla and how we would laugh at that. Ian loved basketball and I remember the hours he and Jared spent at his hoop in your driveway and later Jim Calhouns basketball camp. It seems like yesterday when the two of them were getting ready for Holiday Hill and the fun they had. There are so many happy and wonderful memories. I felt a great loss in my life when the three of you moved to Colorado and it was always fun to hear how Ian was growing and maturing and the skills he was learning and excelling in.
I will always remember him because their is a place in my heart for Ian and I pray for you during your time of sorrow.
All my love,
Sandee

Dear Jim and Sue,
Growing up with Ian is something that I will never forget. I'll alawys remember him knocking on the door bright and early so we could ride bikes, or have a lemonade stand or go swimming. He was like a big brother to me; always there to help. I remember when I got stung by a bee and Ian held my hand so I wouldn't cry. I also remember how he gave me his old rollerblades so I'd have a pair of my own.
Ian was an incredible person who touched the lives of so many people. He will forever be remembered by all.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love always,

We were blessed to have you folks living next door to us for six years in Manchester. We loved having Ian as part of our family. Memories of the countless dinners and lunches we all shared; the hours spent swinging and sledding in our backyards; sliding into the kiddie pools; roller skating around the neighborhood; and lemonade stands at the end of our driveway will forever warm our hearts.
We will pray to Ian to comfort you and give you strength to carry on your work here on earth.
We are with you in spirit . . .
