Ian Eric Minney was born January 14, 1976, in Chillicothe, Ohio to Arthur Michael Minney and Constance Jone (nee: Kiser). Ian fought courageously against squamous cell carcinoma for 4 years before losing his battle on November 19, 2022. Ian graduated from Athens High School in Athens, Ohio and attended Ohio University. Ian’s love for music began as a young man playing classical piano and later a self-taught guitarist. Ian was a free spirit which led him to explore the west, taking up residence in California. Ian was a wanderer. He was free, fearless, tough, and unapologetic. During his short life, Ian faced countless adversities with determination and grace. Ian’s greatest strength came from his love for his son, Nicholas Minney and his relationship with Dee Sylvester.  Ian is preceded in death by his loving grandparents, Arthur E., and Margaret Minney.
