Like Tara I just found out that Ian passed. Ian and Mike were my best friends as kids. Ian and I would go on these really long bike rides every weekend. We were practicing to ride to Flagstaff and then eventually the tour de France .😂 unfortunately we had a falling out and we didn't talk anymore something i had always regretted. Then years later i found him on Facebook and we talked there for awhile even made plans to hang out but we just never found the time. I miss you brother. Bill and Cathy my heart goes out to you. Thank you for all you did for us as kids.

I started talking to him in a chaotic time of my life, not long before his death. I often thought about him but I wouldn't actually contact him. I was that way with most people and still am! Years later I only recently discovered he was long gone! Such a positive and unique guy. Not only do I feel terrible that I pushed him off for work or school, but I missed having more of this great person in my life. If anyone reads this, ask yourself what is most important in your life, busy household work, negative people in your life you deal with, bosses that don't care, or the people you ignore who bring you warmth and happiness? Ian was one of those people. At least be sure to stay in touch with the good people in your life!

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Ian Garrett. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
