Ian confessed his love for Christ at an early age and loved The Lord and attending church. His favorite gospel artist was Tamela Mann and he loved supporting his mother and stepfather in their music ministry.

He attended both Bosse and Harrison High School.  He was a fashioniesta and a Jordan sneaker head; he went to school every day like he was in a fashion show. Ian enjoyed sitting on the porch cracking jokes, playing football, cards, and playing bingo.  He also enjoyed music from slow jams R&B, old school, rap and gospel.  Some of his favorite artists were Tink, Isley Brothers, and local artist Jamar Gutta Gambino. He felt like music would get him through anything. Ian loved to be surrounded by his family and friends.  He was a very proud father and his children were his everything.  He was truly a people person and never met a stranger and also a ladies' man.  He loved all his nieces and nephews and was a wonderful uncle to each and every one of them.   Growing up Ian was teased as being a mama's boy.
