Born in Kent on 27th July 1965 and died on
July 7th 2004He leaves behind his son Callum and brother
Mark - also a Commitatus member.
Ian was a founder member of the club and will leave a
space that can never be filled.
The funeral took place on 23rd July at Eltham Crematorium,
south east London.
The hearse left the Phoenix pub in Dartford and was
followed on the 8 mile journey to the crematorium by
around 180 bikes, followed by more cars. There were
approximately 400 present for the service, an Odinic
ceremony performed by Micky, a fellow club member and
Andy, a friend of Ian's for many years.
Ian was carried into the church by his brothers to the
sound of 'Sweet Home Alabama', his favourite song. The
service concluded with Lynrd Skynyrd's 'Free Bird'.
Ian's ashes are to be scattered in the garden of rest at
St Paulinas Church in Crayford, a beautiful 11th century
church local to his family and close friends.
We gave Ian the send off that we and all who knew him know
he would have loved, thank you to everyone who made the
day fitting for such a great man.
Rest easy brother.
