Ian Doig Obituary

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Bob, Marilyn and Family,

My deepest sympathies and thoughts on the loss of Ian. May God give you strength in trying to understand and cope with your soulful ache.

Dearest Bob, Marilyn and Family -

I was so saddened when Bob Kayser emailed to let me know that you had lost your beloved son, Ian!! My heart hurts for you and I pray that Heavenly Father, your family and your friends can give you all comfort you need in this very difficult time of loss. I hope that one day you will be re-united with Ian in the eternities!!

Fondly,
Kris Young

I have seen many variations of this narrative to describe the passing of a loved one. I hope you enjoy it.

The Ship

A ship sails and I stand watching till it fades on the horizon and someone at my side says it is gone.
But it is only gone from my sight. It is still just as large and glorious now as when I last saw it. The diminished size and total loss from my sight is only in me, for at that same moment when I lose sight, there are others who are watching the ship come over their horizon, excited and celebrating a new ship arriving.

Bob, Marylin and Family,

We can't begin to tell you how sorry we are to hear about Ian's passing. May God, family and friends be of comfort to you during this time. Take heart and take care.

Love,

Dear Bob, Marilyn, Jordan and Michael:

Words cannot express how sad we were to hear about Ian's passing. He will forever live in our hearts as the happy-go-lucky young boy running with Allan in our backyard,playing hockey in our cul-de-sac, countless sleepovers and playing "you got teen spirit" on the guitar. They were the best of friends and distance did not affect the way the felt about each other. It was evident when they got together every time you came back to Chicago. May the love and support of your friends sustain you in these most difficult time.
You are and will remain in our prayers.

Love, The Milan Family

Dear Marilyn & Bob,

I can't even express the sorrow that overcame me when I found out about Ian's death. I am so, so sorry. I wish there were something I could have done (or any of us could have done). Everyone in my whole family was totally blown away. You have the sympathies of each and every one of us. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING we can do ... anytime. Paul

May you draw comfort from our Heavenly Father in the words at 2nd Corinth. 1:3 & 4, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God."

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. As a former Cheyenne student i can say Ian will be greatly missed and always remembered by us all. He was a wonderful man and i hope he finds peace.

Dear Bob & Marilyn, Mike and Jordan,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
I have always said that no parent should have to attend their child's funeral. I don't know God's plan that led to this tragedy, but we will find out when we are with Ian later.

I've known Ian since high school, we were very close and he was by far the funniest person I've ever met! Everyone enjoyed his guitar playing and that infectious laugh. He was very talented and could make anyone smile. He must have went through 15 hacky-sacks a week back in the day! And I remember driving with him the first day he received his license..I will always cherish the memories and he will be missed dearly by everyone who knew him.

Marilyn:
I am so shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Marilyn, Bob, Mike and Jordan:
I can't imagine your pain and grief at the loss of your beautiful son and brother. I will always remember being in Ft. Myers with Pat and gang for our 40th and you and Bob were staying at a condo on the other side. You guys came up to the condo with Ian in a stroller and he was adorable. That evening we went to a restaurant with you guys and Ian slept like an angel. I remember just staring at him. When I saw his picture, he is just as beautiful as I recall. I pray that somehow you all find some kind of peace. I am so very, very sorry and my thoughts and prayers will be with you and Ian for a very long time.
Love,
Jackie (Hein)
