Blossom was his home and he took great pride in his job, especially mowing the bowl with extreme precision, making sure those lines were perfect. Some of his favorite times were with his friends and backwoods at Blossom. It was his favorite place to be and a huge part of who he was. Many of Ian’s coworkers watched him grow from a teenager to a young man and then a father. He earned a supervisor position under the mentorship of Jason ‘OJ’ Suggs, who considered Ian a son.

“This is so much harder than other (losses) because Ian just had such a bright energy, every time he walked in the door he was laughing and smiling.

His energy was contagious” Fly fast, Ian. Your impact on this world will not be forgotten.

Sharon K Hornbeck

Sharon Kay Hornbeck (nee Hartmann) was born October 15, 1940, to her father, Melvin and beloved mother, Dorothy Irene (nee Dixon) in Oelwine, Iowa.

Growing up in middle Iowa, her favorite past time was fishing with her younger brother, Denny on the Wapsipinicon River and spending time with her sisters.

Sharon moved to Colorado in the early 1970s with her (then) husband, Bill and established her family unit. She divorced in 1980 and raised her two young children on her own. Life held many difficulties for Sharon but overcame them one by one and gave her life to the Lord amid them.

In 2015, she moved to Akron, Ohio with her daughter and granddaughter and enjoyed her retirement doing puzzles and spending entire weekends with her granddaughter. Although she was unable to truly form a bond with her other two remarkable grandchildren by her son, she did love them and spoke of them often.

Sharon began a rapid decline into Dementia, moved into Pleasant View Nursing Home and Rehab in Barberton, and spent the last month of her life happy, social, and eating all the food she could. It was so wonderful to watch her flourish with the help of the amazing staff there, and the staff that cared for her from Heartland Hospice.

Sharon is survived by her son, Brian, his girlfriend, Nichole and their children, Hayden, Rylie, Anthony and Olivia all from Colorado; daughter, Aileen and her boyfriend, Patrick and their children, Rachel of Ohio and Tristin of Georgia; sisters, Colleen and Collette of Iowa and her nieces, Lori (Mark), Jenny, Kim, Danielle (Scott); nephew, Paige and several grand nieces and nephews of Iowa.

Sharon is peaceful now. Thank you, mom. We love you. Until we meet again...

Per her request, cremation has taken place.

Michael faced many challenges in life, being mentally challenged, deaf in both ears, and having a speech impediment. Despite these obstacles, he showed remarkable resilience and independence throughout his life.

At age four, Michael moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee, where he later attended public school in special education classes. His school years saw him return to New Orleans and later move to San Antonio, Texas. During this time, Michael learned essential life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and washing clothes, preparing him for a life of self-sufficiency. He worked diligently in both mainstream lower-level jobs and specialized workshops, always striving to contribute and grow. Despite these challenges Mike remained a beloved and cheerful presence in the lives of those who knew him.

After the passing of his parents in the late 1990s, Michael relocated to Murphysboro, Illinois, with his brother where he worked at the S.T.A.R.T. workshop and lived independently. Everyone loved Mike and he was very sociable in the area. In 2014, he moved to Akron, Ohio, and joined Windfall Industries, a workshop where he did piece work and found a supportive community. Michael lived in a group home for mentally challenged adults managed by Summit DD, Sevita Health and later supported by REM Ohio where he most recently resided in a group home in Barberton, Ohio. He took great pride in his work at Windfall and cherished the friendships he made with them and others in the Cleveland/Akron area.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his brother, his brother's wife, and three nephews. His life was a testament to perseverance, kindness, and the strength of the human spirit. Michael passed away from Acute Respiratory Failure following back surgery.

He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing.
