Ian,
I miss you more than you could possibly know.
I was planning on helping you move the day after you passed. I figured it was a little burst of antisocial energy when I didn’t hear from you. I felt like something was wrong when the next day rolled around and I still hadn’t heard form you.
I couldn’t wait to see you and catch up even though we just saw DJ Hodor together. That was a real blast, I’m so glad you thought of me when he came to perform. I loved seeing that side of you that you didn’t show many others. A happy, dancing Ian was an awesome sight to see. Dancing next to you at Fox Stevenson was one of my happiest memories of you. I remember you telling me excitedly that you remembered he was one of my favorite artists and that he was coming to Denver and you wanted me to come. I was so unbelievably happy when you remembered and even happier when we danced together.
I wish I expressed to you more how thankful I was for you to be a part of my life. I know you’d say fate is a load of crap but it all lined up so perfectly when you came back to Denver and we needed a roommate. I had already missed you so much when you left. And when you came back I was ecstatic.
You were such a wonderful roommate and even better cat sitter. When I wasn’t home Tiny Rick chose you. I loved all the pictures you’d send me of Tiny Rick all curled up in your blankets or being your own personal lap heater. I remember so vividly you walking around the corner with tiny rick in your arms either curled up like a baby or as a “loaf cat.” He is so needy all the time! You even helped me name him!
I remember coming home to a legitimate surprise party you, Alex, and Megan put together and having a blast playing drinking games. Especially the part where you violently quacked like a penguin right out the room. I also loved the time you dressed up as Mario to our Alice in Wonderland party. It was like Mario went down the wrong pipe!
I remember every time Id drive down Bowels I’d tell everyone in the car “There’s Ian’s house!” Do you remember in high school you and I agreed we’d keep a zombie named Gregory in your barn? We decided that when we figured we were both probably going to die in the zombie apocalypse. I always loved that you and I had a shared hate for high school drama. In fact it was a major part of what brought us together.
There is so much I wish I could have done with you. I wish money wasn’t such a major factor in our lives. You and I both had our share of medical issues I always felt your pain with migraines and I feel your pain when managers just don’t get it. They aren’t just headaches! If we had the money there were so many shows id want to see with you. I was always to shy to ask to go with your other friends, that was guy time I didn’t want to impede on. I remember coming home to find you guys snacking down on some munchies and watching video games competitions. I also remember coming home to you twitch streaming! That was so cool! I’m sad we didn’t play as many video games. We hosted lots of LAN parties but they died out when we moved to the new place. Overwatch in particular! I know you played a killer Ana but you never got to see my Lucio skills!
I was never one to have many very close friends. But you were among the few. We didn’t need to say anything. Just being in each other’s company watching shitty youtube videos and petting Tiny Rick was enough to make us happy. I just miss you so much. It still feels like I could message you right now and you be right there again. I know how much you love your naps. I hope this one is comfiest yet. I love you, Ian. I will never forget you.
