The story behind Ians_Angel.

On Sunday (1/25/09) at a little past 3am, a group of college students were driving through northern Pennsylvania when they were involved in a fatal car accident. Two were killed, and the others were seriously injured. Ian was one of the ones who died at the scene of the crash. He was my cousin. He was just 22 years old and was set to graduate from college in May. He had his whole life ahead of him that tragically ended Sunday morning. Rest in peace, Ian, your memory is on our minds and forever in our hearts. <3

In his memory, I'm going to eventually turn Ians_Angel into a Rofling.

For those who might be confused, I'm not talking about Ian, the creator of Marapets. My cousin, Ian, is not the same Ian on here. Sorry for the confusion.

Poem written on a pamphlet handed out at his memorial service to celebrate his life:

Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets--
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
