Ian was a truly loved son, brother and grandson with many friends in Norwich and around the world. He died tragically, at home, on Christmas eve 2006, at the age of 24.
Ian was a 'people' person with a charismatic personality and a creative mind. He always aimed high and had many aspirations. He loved to travel and had happy memories of times spent in Africa where he had enjoyed working with children.
Your life touched so many!
I remember the smiles, the laughter and the the songs we sung in Africa and England. In Africa you played with a lot of kids, you brought joy to them. In Norwich we went to a camp with other kids and again you were a joy to those kids. Ian we will not forget , I will not not forget, they will not forget. For we can not write our own stories and not include you in our our life stories for you are part of our life story. I will miss you.
To Joy , Steve and Matt sorry for your loss. Be encouraged that IAN is in the hands of the Lord.
I will miss you my friend.

Stay safe in the arms of the Lord
Ian,
I first met Ian Cressewell on his first visit to Africa, Zimbabwe. Ian was so dear to almost everyone he met. Since then I felt that connection which God established between the 2 of us. We have been communicating thru emails. I really don't know what happened communication just broke down. My friend stay safe in the arms of god I will always remember you with the 2 worship cd's you blessed me. Moses Thomas
Hold onto those memories
I hope you and your family are doing ok as can be. I think it is true to say that memories do give us courage, make us smile and even remind us of the pride we had in our sons. Hold onto those memories they are precious.
I was going through a box of pictures the other day and came across some that Ian had taken for me around his town for a Geography class I was taking in college that happened to be on England. I met him when he was visiting Texarkana and we corresponded through email, but lost touch as people do. The Lord layed it on my heart to try to contact him, just to say hi and see how he was. I am so sorry for your loss.
A genuine friend that could instantly make others smile. We shared some great times together buddy, they will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace
To the family
I wanted to offer my condolences to you. I didn't know him personally, but my daughter talked about him all the time. He seemed to be a bright and loving young man. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know it's hard to understand. I wish so much that he had reached out to someone... it's obvious so many loved him, but that's some times hard to do. I pray for peace for all of you. Your tears are being caught in God's hands and He is crying with you. I pray also that you feel his arms around you. Ian was loved very much and he will always be in your hearts - our hearts. Peace and the endless love of God be with you.
Says it All....
This song by Casting Crowns says it all. I hope it helps. It got me through the death of my father back in September. Bless you.
I'll Praise You in This Storm
I was sure by now God you would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
that it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear your whisper through the rain,
I'm with you
and as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
And i'll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
you heard my cry you raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find you
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear you whisper through the rain
I'm with you
and as your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
And i'll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
And i'll praise you in this storm
and i will lift my hands
that you are who you are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
you hold in your hand
you never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise you in this storm
so sorry for your loss, he is a handsome young man, my thoughts are with his famly and friends at this time.
Rest in peace Ian
I was very sorry to read of your loss. Ian was so young to be taken from you and looks such a nice young man. I lost my 24 year old son in 2004 when he was murdered in Thailand. I hope you can gain strength from the memories you must have.
rest in peace Ian
