Ian had gone to my elementary school and was in a couple of my classes last year. Every time we spoke he never failed to make me smile or laugh. He was always so kind to me as well as all of his other classmates. I wish I was able to get closer to him. He will forever be missed. ❤️

I’ve known Ian since middle school but we became friends last year in our AP World Class. He was always there for me and always cheered me up when I felt like I was going to fail or like I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. He would walk me around campus and to the highlands when I was alone. He was always there for me when I needed a friend and he always knew how to make me smile. His positive energy and humor made everyone around him feel happy and at ease. He will be missed so much.

i didn’t personally know ian but my heart aches for him and his family. as far as i’ve heard he was a great person who impacted tons. i’m sure he was, i wish i could’ve gotten to know just how good of a person people say he was. sending so much love to his peers. take care of yourselves. ian, rest easy man.

I barely even knew the guy in middle school, he probably wouldn’t even know me if you told him my name, but I remember the slightest interactions we would have scarcely in middle school and I can not remember a single bad or negative one. From someone who barely knew him, he will be missed.

Ian and I were best friends throughout most of elementary and middle school. We used to spend days and days laughing and making jokes with each other all throughout most of elementary and middle school. We even used to race to the pizza lines on Friday so that we can be the first ones there. We were in the same class pretty much all of elementary school. He was truly a special person. I remember him always having smiles on his face and finding something to laugh about even when we had tests or quizzes. We played four square every single day in elementary school, and if it wasn’t four square it was basketball or tag. In 7th grade I remember him telling me that he was going to transfer into my English class and I was so happy because I had no one else there. I even took him skating once, and the one time we could go he broke his arm in like 3 different places. He would always help me with math or English or even science when I needed and he never expected anything in return. He was truly a special person, always smiling, always happy, always laughing. My friend you will be missed by so many. Fly high

Ian was always a guy that had a smile on his face, and the first to strike a conversation with me. His outgoing, lovable, and friendly personality always made my day better. A great guy, an exceptional student, and one of the best damn swimmers I’ve ever met, Ian will be remembered in my heart forever, and in the hearts of those who had the privilege of getting to know him on a deep and personal level. He had a positive effect on everyone that met him, and one that will continue living inside of us for the rest of our lives. Prayers to the Carsten family❤️

Ian,
You were one of the nicest and most genuine people I had ever met. I vividly remember joking around with you in elementary school and was actually talking about it about a week ago. I cherish the moments we had I. elementary and middle school and I’m so sad to see you go. I can’t believe you’re gone and I hope you’re in a better place now. Rest easy buddy❤️

Ian I will never forget you. I remember when I met you at Ian Carstair's birthday party and you would always make so many jokes. You were such a good friend at swim meets, while we played games, and when we were at school. I won't ever forget those memories we had and those conversations we had. You inspired me to be a better competitor in the pool and I am 100% sure others feel the same.

I won't forget the times we were up all night playing squads.

I miss you so much, Andrew Ko

I didn’t know him well enough to personally say we were friends, but everyone who has ever brought up his name has spoken about the light he brought. He seemed like such a intelligent and kind person. He will be missed and he won’t be forgotten.

He was a kind soul and I wish we could’ve had more time to talk and be around. But in the times I did spend with him he was uplifting and always brought positive energy to everyone around him. He will be missed. All love brother. Fly high.

Me and Ian were friends in middle school and ever since then he was one of the most genuine people I’ve met. Rest easy, We all miss you. ❤️

Ian was in my English class freshman year. He would always help me with my work even though I would never understand. He was so bright and funny and I wish he were here to know how much people loved him.
Rest easy, Ian
You will always be in our hearts

ian and i used to play csgo together. we went to the same school, and he always had a smile on his face and was cracking jokes. when we played video games together, he always made fun of me and was a happy guy all around. it hurts to see someone that seemed so happy at the time do this. rest easy buddy. i hope you’re doing okay up there.

Dear Ian,

You were one of the nicest and smartest people I have ever met. You always made math one of the best classes, and we would always share music, and work together. We all miss you
Rest Easy

Dear Ian,
I am truly at a loss of words and cannot believe you are gone. I have known you since kindergarten and shared almost every class with you up until middle school. We re connected last year in our AP world class and sat next to each other pretty much the whole year so we became close again. You made me excited to go to class, knowing you would be there to make me laugh until I cried and you never failed to put a smile on my face. I will never forget your laugh and all the times you made fun of my dumb comments. I remember being upset when you weren’t in class because I knew it wouldn’t be as fun without you. Truly the purest and sweetest soul I have ever met. You were the best project partner and friend. I will forever cherish the moments I got to spend with you throughout our lives. You were the one who always gave me a pen when my ink ran out and I use it to this day, I wish I could tell you that now. You had the most contagious laugh, smile and the biggest heart ever. I am so lucky and grateful to have known you my whole life and I will miss you forever, rest easy❤️


Sending my prayers to the Carsten family❤️

Dear Ian,

Had a class with you all the way back in the beginning of middle school and knew you ever since. Wish we had the chance to become closer. Always had a smile on your face and super outgoing, seemed like you always lifted others up. Rest easy

I never had the pleasure of knowing Ian in elementary school, lord knows he would’ve made my life that much brighter then. I never thought in a million years this could happen and all of us have lost someone who was so special, kind, and funny. These words can’t even explain how great of a person was, and I’m really so sad as I’m sure many others are. Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face, and we’ll always remember you Ian ❤️❤️

Ian was one of the kindest, intelligent, and funny people i know. He was the kid everyone got excited when they’d come into class or would make everyone smile by just being themselves. Ian you will be truly missed thank you for being such a good friend and inspiring others.

Ian,

   From elementary school right the way through to high school, we always shared such good memories. Every nostalgic moment of past years brought back so many great times with you as a friend. You will forever be in my heart and in my prayers.

Love you Ian,
Mateo Pacelli
