<div itemprop="description"> <p> McDONALD, Ian Alexander </p> <p> It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our precious Ian on February 10, 2013. He will be profoundly missed by his loving parents Deborah &amp; Gordon, his adoring big sister Bronwyn, and his cherished girlfriend Hillary.&nbsp; He will also be deeply missed by his dear grandmothers Jeanne MacDonald &amp; Barbara McDonald, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and by all who knew him. &nbsp;Ian was predeceased by his late grandfathers Roy MacDonald and Ian McDonald. </p> <p> Ian came into the world as a beautiful, easy baby; grew into a happy, joyful child; and developed into a caring, sensitive, thoughtful and personable young man.&nbsp; He was a joyful addition to Deb and Gord's family.&nbsp; He was a faithful friend to Bronwyn - always easy-going, and the perfect little brother to hang in her gang.&nbsp; Ian's younger years were fun-filled with sporting activities, and he was a great all-round athlete.&nbsp; </p> <p> The family enjoyed many summers on the beaches in Invermere, and Gord, an involved dad, introduced the kids to sledding, skating, swimming, snowboarding, and wake-boarding behind the family boat.&nbsp; Ian loved basketball and having his dad coach him.&nbsp; Gord and Ian also shared a love of dirt-biking together. </p> <p> Deb, his devoted mother, understood and nurtured Ian's sensitive side, and they shared a very special bond.&nbsp; Ian's common greeting to his mother was, &quot;Hi Mama&quot;.&nbsp; Deb was ever-present, inspiring Ian with her words of wisdom and inspiration in every facet of his life.&nbsp; </p> <p> Ian graduated from Sir Winston Churchill High School, and over the last two years, has been exploring his love of the arts, fashion and culture.&nbsp; After travelling through Europe last summer, Ian embarked on a creative business venture birthing his own clothing and accessory brand under the name IA Co. - Ian Alexander Clothing Company &ndash; a brand carrying a message important to him.&nbsp; The business and website were set to launch this week. &nbsp;It is the mission of his family and friends to carry on his dream by launching the IA Co. brand in the near future. </p> <p> A Memorial Service will be held in the Chapel of EDEN BROOK MEMORIAL GARDEN &amp; FUNERAL HOME (17 Avenue South West and Lower Springbank Road) on Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 1pm, Condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.edenbrookcemetery.ca &nbsp;&lt;http://www.edenbrookcemetery.ca&gt;.&nbsp; &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to the Calgary Humane Society.&nbsp; Arrangements entrusted to EDEN BROOK FUNERAL HOME AND RECEPTION CENTRE 24223 Township Road 242, Calgary AB, (17th Avenue SW and Lower Springbank Rd). </p> </div>
