On this day, July 22, 2021, Ian lost his fight with his demons and went to live with his family in heaven.
He fought a tough fight and will be sorely missed by his loving mom, Sandra (aka Sandi) Benson (Greg), uncles: Wayne (Callie) and Gary (Mary); aunt Joan Best Gushue, uncle Tom, aunts: Aggie (Frank), Rachael, Mary, and Philomena and I'm very sorry if I forgot anyone. Cousins: Bruce (Christine), Gary Jr., Diana (James) and many relatives on the Gushue side. He had lots of friends, especially Dave Herker, Gracie Pangam and her family, and Michael.
Ian was predeceased by his grandparents Samuel and Katherine Benson, Matthew and Mary Gushue, his father, Joseph J. Gushue and his uncle Sam Benson.
Ian was born on Tuesday, March 6, 1973 at 4:35 PM in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He and his mom moved to BC in May of 1978. Ian was a very kind, thoughtful man, who was loved by all who knew him. He loved to make people laugh and tried to help as many as he could.
Ian was a hard worker and a very loving son. He loved learning new languages and meeting people. He loved the Indigenous ways of life and the Hindi spirit and could speak the language. He loved roaring around in his car (fast) and see new places-mostly in BC and Alberta.
BE FREE AND AT PEACE MY SON
Until we meet again xxxxxxx
Mommy loves you xoxo ♥
