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

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
