I'm writing this tribute in absolute shock and disbelief. The news of Ian's passing has truly shaken and deeply saddened me. I first met Ian in Croatia back in 2019, when he walked into my bar for the very first time. He was such a fine, humble man—someone who instantly made a warm, friendly impression on everyone around him. Life writes strange and sometimes painful stories, and this is undoubtedly one of the saddest. Rest in peace, my friend. You will never be forgotten.
