Ian contracted Meningitis on 4th January 2009 and after a courageous battle, he lost his fight on 8th January. Ian was a competitive character in many aspects of his life; sports, silly games, drinking and eating, but mostly he was a dedicated partner and father to his 5 children. He leaves a gaping void in many lives as a result of his passing, but also some wonderful memories. 27th March - The memories continue. It would have been Ian's 40th birthday. Fundraising is continuing in earnest in Ian's memory following a sporting theme. Friends and team-mates queued to take part in a charity rugby match on 20th March. Take a look at the Gallery of pictures from the event. Team Devo parachute jump 27th June - new pictures on the Gallery!
