Ian was born on 23rd July 1967, the second child of John and Norma. He has a sister Kathleen (1966)
and a brother Jamie (1970). Ian was married to Karen and has a little girl Abigail.
He died on St Patrick's Day, 17th. March 1999 age 31.
Ian had had an accident when he was about 10 years old and this lead to him having epileptic fits.
He grew up in as normal an environment as he could but the fits still appeared every so often.
At the time of his passing he hadn't had any for quite a while and was looking forward to the
future.
On the morning of his passing he got up for work as usual, he was a builder and had men working for
him. Someone came to pick him up because at that time he hadn't got permission to drive again
(due to the fits, he had to go a certain amount of time between before he was allowed to drive) but
when he got into the van/car he felt unwell. He told his workmen this and got out of the car to go
back to the house. As he crossed the garden he collapsed.
He had had a brain haemorage due to quite a vicious fit.
Although the paramedics worked on him constantly, he needed to be put on a ventilator once in
hospital. Sadly, he was declared brain dead and the machine was switched off.
I will never forget that day, when my brother John rang me and said he had bad news. I never dreamt
it was about Ian.
It is 9 years since that day. Abigail was just over two years old when her daddy passed, she is now
nearly 12 and the double of Ian (especially round the eyes) when you look at Abigail it's like
Ian is never far away.
His family miss him so much, and today is special because he would have been 41 today.
Ian always wanted a BMW car, and he got his wish. He worked hard for the things he wanted. He loved
his family a great deal. God Bless Ian. Miss you xxxxx
TRIBUTE FOR TUESDAY,SEPTEMBER15 2009
Gone Too Soon
G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day.

"I am the one and only..........
....nobody I'd rather be.
I am the one and only...........
....you can't take that away from me".
The words of this song relate of your life,
from when you were born in July.
To the day that you passed and went onto things new,
we don't know the answers when people ask Why?
The only thing certain that mattered to us,
was that you were out of your pain,
and we know my dear Nephew, one day up ahead,
We will all be together again.
Love you Ian. xxxxxx Auntie Kath xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have been watching a Dvd of Auntie Marion's Wedding anniversary sent from Australia. There were so many on it that are no longer with us. Uncle Bob, Aunty Mary, Uncle Len, Aunty Betty, Aunty Maisie, Your beloved Grandma (my mam) and there was you. Looking as handsome as ever. I noticed on the screen that the party was on 23rd. July. Your 26th. birthday. Little did we know that less than six years later we would lose you.
We miss you Ian, so much.... Sleep well babe. xxx Auntie Kath
I have put music on your site now Ian, hope you like it. It is how I think of you.
Love always. xxxxx Auntie Kath
♥♥GOODNIGHT SWEET ANGEL ♥♥
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you LOVE AND HUGS ALWAYS SHANNON XXX
Hey dude
Well dude,
It's nearly 10 years ago when you went to God... can't believe it's been so long. I still remember the day when we went to see you sleeping peacefully and I even kissed your forehead. But I'll never forget that day, or forget you cousin!
Rest in Peace dude and look after your mum and dad
