Jo Loretta wrote a sympathy message

“Ivan will live well in the hearts of his family and many friends that dearly love him. Often outside our cabins in Green Mountain Falls, God blessed me with Ivan's friendship, honesty, and advice as we talked while he would putt golf balls down the road for the foxes to chase or walk his pup Otis. May his family remember God's peace and promises of eternity as they celebrate Iran's very blessed life. Jo Loretta Lester”
