Our beloved son and sibling passed away May 13, 2024, after a prolonged illness. He was
surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of his own home. Ian’s passing has left a giant hole in our
hearts, and we will miss him dearly. Ian left behind five siblings: Jennifer Wild, Nathan Hess,
Brianne Hess, Christopher Hess, and Aidan Connors, as well as his parents Gary and LaDonna
Connors.
Ian had many passions in life. Professionally he was able to live his dream of performing rap. He
could often be found as a featured artist on SoundCloud and performing at WhySound. Through his
creativity he wrote many lyrics and poetry. He was also an accomplished gamer earning a living for
a time playing with professional teams.
His family included his siblings and countless nieces and nephews whom he loved. He enjoyed
spending time with them, particularly playing pick-up basketball. He frequently played basketball
locally on teams comprised of friends and siblings. He also had several pets that brought him
comfort at difficult times of his illness. Ian’s parents would like to thank all Ian’s friends. They gave
him great joy and comfort.
Ian’s family will be holding a celebration of life at a private location Saturday, May 25th.
Anyone who knew and loved Ian, and who would like to join the gathering, please reach out to his family
members for details.
