We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of Ian — a deeply loved husband, father, and friend. His passing has left a profound gap in the lives of many, especially his wife Helen and their sons, Patrick and Aidan.

Ian and Helen built their life and business together, and his unexpected death has brought emotional and practical challenges that no one could have prepared for. While Helen is finding strength to carry on, what she and the boys need most now is time together — to grieve, support one another, and begin to heal.

Many friends and family have asked how they can help. In addition to the option of donating to the Woodland Trust, a cause close to Ian’s heart, this fund has been created to help cover travel costs for Patrick and Aidan — so they can come home more often, be with their mum, and stay closely connected as they face the future without him.

Your generosity will allow them to be together when it matters most. No gift is too small, and every gesture is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your love, care, and support.
