There are so many people I would like to thank, hug, be grateful to, etc. But I can't because a lot of addresses were not given. So to you people my everlasting thanks for all your kindness to my husband and me during this very difficult time. We always knew Ike was a special person {parents pride}, But even we didn't know how many peoples lives he touched. To the very special class of "91" who set up the "GO FUND ME" page, thank you a thousand times. I know Ike is smiling from heaven knowing his legacy will go on. God bless all of you! Ikes very proud parents, Louie & Nancy

Ike, thanks for the kindness you showed me during my treacherous freshman year at Johnson. I will always remember how you stood with the underdogs, Misfits, misunderstoods, and the marginalized. Now that's one with character.
BTW, I still have the Prince shirt you got me from the fair, which brought me so much comfort. Godspeed

Larsen Family,
Ike truly represented love,friendship, and human kindness. He had a passion to make people smile and a heart that could understand any situation you discussed with him. He was one of a kind and I will miss him dearly as so many others will as well. He made an incredible impact on so many lives as he was always "paying it forward". His legacy will be remembered as a true giver of self to others. An Incredible East Sider who loved his family and friends and we loved him back!!!
My sincere condolences and prayers to all of you.
RIP IKE! Love Ya, Brother!

Nancy, Louie, Terri and family - Ike has always been like a brother to me. My mom loved him to pieces. When she was sick and I was at college, he would stop by and visit and run errands for her. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Nancy & Louie,
Our thoughts ,love & prayers go out to your family.
Ike was a very special person to everyone that knew him. He spent alot of time @ our home with the rest of the Johnson group. They have a special friendship that will always keep them close. I guess us parents did something right to have such wonderful boys.
Ike will be missed but will always be in our hearts. Ike is looking down @ us with that beautiful smile.
You are in our prayers.

So sorry that life ended so soon for a dear son and brother. May God hold him and you in the Palm of His Hand.
And may Ike be drawing cartoon caricatures of the angels - like he and his mom illustrated bowling pins for my bowling banquet one year!

Each and every time I 'pay it forward' with a act of kindness I will remember you and what a generous heart you had! Ike a shining star of what a person should be, kind and giving. Always seeing the bright side.

Words are hard to find when the world loses someone like Ike. A big part of his legacy is that we all will be thinking more of paying it forward as Ike always did. Ike had such a good heart and always spoke so highly and lovingly about "Lou & Nance" never could say enough about how much they meant to him. My heart goes out to them both and his Sister. There's nothing more I can say except that the pleasure of knowing Ike was all mine. Shine your light on all of us Ike, we need it. R.I.P. You will be missed.
Sincerely, Marilyn & Russ Tacheny

I still can't believe this is real. We just chatted a couple days ago. I will forever love your kindness and humor. Love you Ike!

Ike
Gus, Boldt, Mills and I spent the day with Nance and Lou yesterday. Romey was there too- even from across the globe. Plenty of tears of course because we're all crushed. After that we covered all the fun stuff we could and ended up laughing our way through the night. We hoped you'd be good with that. We'll make sure to send you off right
Do me a favor and give DB a hug.

A beautiful soul gone to soon. If there is anybody on the East Side that didn't know what a wonderful, kind, giving man Ike was would only need to read all the posts on his Facebook page. In his passing I believe many of us will try to be a better person because of him. R.I.P. Ike you will be missed greatly.
