I'm extremely heartbroken that I just now found out about Ivan's death. I have been travelling for awhile and made good friends with Ivan while selling Comcast door-to-door. His phone number kept changing so I wasn't able to see him for a few months until we met up outside of my job one day. We were planning to hang soon. That was around Nov or Dec of 2010. Now he's gone already, so soon. I can't believe I let so much time pass without saying hello. I had hoped of getting back in contact as he was such an intelligent person who truly thought outside of the box. He was a great friend, comedian, and all around good person who had a lot left to give. He helped me learn a lot about life that still sticks with me. I love you bro and I hope we meet again someday. Rest in paradise.

If anyone close to him knows how he passed, I'd appreciate hearing why. You can reach me at lewisdavid88 at gmail dot com or my cell 206-331-6788. Thanks so much.

Ivan, you were one in a million.
Your sense of humor will inspire me forever.
I can't believe you are gone!
