Ian, you are the second friend I lost this month to the same thing. Really enjoyed working with you at Sam’s club. You were one of the reasons that place was tolerable. You will be missed!

Ian...Man we had some good times in the Air Force. You will forever be remembered as that one friend I could count on for anything. You got me thru more tough times than you'll ever know, and I will forever be grateful that I was able to have you as a friend. You were a great person and always put others before yourself! The world needs more people like you! From South Carolina to Utah, whenever I knew you were going to be at work, I always knew things were going to be ok and we'd get thru whatever the Air Force threw at us that day. Thanks for always being that shining beacon that EVERYONE looked forward to being around. Rest in peace my friend. And thank you for being one of the most genuine human beings I've ever met. My condolences go out to your entire family and anyone else who was devastated by this news. Until we meet again. Rest easy! Gonna miss you buddy.

Ian I can’t believe you are gone- way to young, way to soon. We have so many memories of Grandma and Grandpas-horses, John Deere, grandmas cooking, cousins, and crazy uncles.
Aunt Sue and Uncle Chuck-my heart is with you both and I love you both so much.
All my love, Kim Carpenter❤

Ian, thank you for your service. Whenever Zane and I talk about times living in Utah it is always met with Zane mentioning "Mr. Ian took us for waffles". This happened almost anytime Zane stayed over for an evening. We are here for your boys when/if they need us.
