You will not be forgotten. What a delightful young man you were. Joyful young boy I remember.

Ian was my bestfriend, he was such a beautiful person and never let anything really get to him. He loved playing guitar and doing things only an Ian would do. He has been my bestfriend since we were 11 and I’ll never forget the first time I ever talked to him or saw him. I would do anything in the world just to hear his voice again and see his beautiful eyes. If I had one wish it would be to talk to him just for a few hours or minutes. He was an amazing person! And he’ll be forever in my heart. 

I love you Ian. Forever.❤️
-Coby H.

Ian was one of the smartest guy I new. He was always making me laugh and making  jokes. He always had a way to help others and make them laugh. He would always light up a room when he walked in. He was the sweetest, kindest person you would ever have met. I remember all the times he came over and would hangout. I miss you Ian ♥️ You will forever be in are hearts 💕

I remember in middle school he used to throw crayons at me in science class and we would just throw them back and forth whenever I was sad he would always give me a hug and tell me that it will be okay I loved him like a brother I hope now he’s in paradise with nobody to hurt him ever again❤️

Ian helped me through one of the hardest times of my life. He helped me become who I am today. I wish I could thank him for everything he did for me. He supported me no matter what happened. I never imagined this would happen. Heaven gained an angel. I miss him more and more this doesn’t feel real to me. 

I remember the days we would go up to our elementary school when we were bored and climb over everything. Play make believe till we got hungry, then we would walk back to my house and have pizza rolls and chocolate milk

I still remember giving him an electric guitar that was his favorite color and he learned how to play Hey There Delilah for me.

Ian drew this picture when he attended church camp in Colorado with us. It will always  be a reminder to us that he was there with us. And continues to be in us in our hearts. That you for sharing your boy with us. It was wonderful to get to see him dance freely and with joy while playing 9 square. 

The void left by this adorable young man is infinite. The joy he spread to others is unforgettable.  I will always remember Ian, although I only met him one time. I was given the pleasure of watching him grow through pictures over the years. My dear Nichole, I'm so sorry for your loss. And Zoey, your loss is immeasurable. Condolences to you and to all of Ian's family and friends .

Ian was the comedic relief all of us needed, no one hated him. Loved by all, rest easy Ian.

Ian was such a positive person and made school a better experience for me. he was always so funny and so sweet. i always looked forward to going to the class with him. the best memory i have with him is when we were in math and he drew a picture a spongebob and patrick, i found it so funny and i couldn’t stop laughing. he was so genuine and kind to everybody. 

When we were about to close me Makayla Council and Ian were all at the same part of the waterpark. We were mixing a lot of different sports with our invisible ball, and we’re messing around and laughing so hard. We will miss him so so much, it’s going to be hard without him. I am praying for all of his family. 

He was a good kid ,so sorry for your loss ,God bless his soul ❤️.

I knew Ian Dell, he was my friend. I met him through one of my old friends. I called him pickles because I'd give everyone a nickname only I could call them. He used to play minecraft with me and even left a build in one of my worlds. I met his sister and I though his family was nice just by observing on FaceTime. He beat me in a game of tennis , which I encouraged him to join the team. Eventually he told me about his lifegaurd certification. I started coming to adventure oasis and he happened to be working there. My favorite memory's with him was there at the park. He'd give this adorable little wave saying hiiiii sunnnyy! He was always so excited to see me and he'd watch me float by as he was sitting in the lifeguard chairs. His usual spot was at the end of the water slides. Occasionally I'd go down the water slide and make silly faces when he could see me so his job could be a little more entertaining. I miss him. RIP beloved friend 🥒 

you were my very best friend for a good long while. just wish i would've paid better attention. with love, rest easy doll. <3 

Ian will always hold a special place in the life of each and everyone of us. He was a beautiful soul that was always quick to make us laugh or be a friend. He was charming, funny, kindhearted and so thoughtful of others. He will always be a part of my tribe as he lives on in our hearts and memories. He will always be a part of our story.
