I am so sorrowful about Ian's passing. I remember a good, kind hearted young Ian, who had a keen sense of humor and an easy smile. My son Wade, was friends with Ian since Jr High School and it was our pleasure to have Ian spend time with us on Beaver Island, MI. Ian was a delight and I have many memories of that vacation,from paddle boats to evening camp fires with stories,fireworks and s'mores! Ian was not exempt from trials and disappointments, but was aquatinted with this world's difficulties and sorrows. Yet he remained a beautiful, loving spirit. The world has lost a beautiful soul! And I am truly sorry. Ian was loved by many and will be sorely missed! Love you Ian. Audene Taylor (Wade's mom)

My deepest sympathies to the Kyle family. Ian was my son's guitar instructor nearly 10 years ago. My son was 11 at the time, and he always looked forward to his lessons with Ian because he was a "cool guy" with a guitar! Ian was a great teacher, a great musician, a great writer, and an all-around great guy.....may he rest in peace.
