Ian Ebsch
Organ Donor
/September 12, 2025
How do I even begin to tell you what an amazing son and father Ian was? His children were his whole world. The day he had a heart attack at 40 years old and I found him still haunts me. My heart is still broken in a million pieces. His dad and the paramedics did CPR, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I would have gladly taken his place if I could have. I love you, Ian. Life will never be the same. I miss you so much. I miss our talks and laughter. Your memory will never be forgotten as long as I have breath in my body. I love you always and forever
