With heavy hearts, we announce that Ian passed away unexpectedly on April 5, 2022, at the age of 43 years.

 

He is survived by his children, Ashley and Owen; parents Richard and Denise; brother Craig; and many extended family and friends.

 

As a child growing up in the Maples, Ian was a typical Winnipeg boy who enjoyed playing hockey and long bike rides around the neighborhood getting into mischief with his friends. Ian graduated from Maples Collegiate and moved on to work at Fairview for many years.

 

As an adult Ian would say his biggest joy was his children. Ashley and Owen were the light of his life, and he would beam when speaking of them. One of Ian’s latest interests was motorbikes and motorcycles, recently purchasing the bike of his dreams. As we think of you now Ian, we hope you are racing down those golden roads with a smile on your face.

​

In Accordance with the families wishes, cremation has taken place and a private family memorial will be held at a later date.

​

In the meantime, Ian's family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
