Ian Wade McCuistion, age 34, born June 22nd, 1986, passed away in the early hours of October 1st, 2020. Ian was diagnosed with stage IV intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct/liver cancer. Ian’s cancer was extremely rare, and at his initial oncology appointment, the doctor gave him two weeks to live. God had other plans for Ian, and Ian was determined to fight for his life, and had 10 more months to enjoy his life.
Ian married the love of his life, Brittany Michelle Jerabek McCuistion on May 17, 2019 and they were married for only 7 months when Ian was diagnosed, and for just over 16 months when he passed. They were both so blessed and thankful for the extra time they had. Ian loved Brittany with his whole heart and his world revolved around her. You could see the love pouring out of him, and there was no doubt he was the happiest with her. It was only appropriate that Ian passed away in his sleep with the love of his life right by his side.
Ian was a wonderful, devoted, kind, caring, loving, thoughtful man who could make a whole room laugh and brought so much joy to people around him. Ian loved his dogs, guns, being an Eagle Scout, airplanes, scotch/bourbon, Nats baseball, The Capitals’ hockey, and Husker football. Ian spent tons of time with his mom, Judi McCuistion, watching Nats baseball and The Capitals and he enjoyed that time with her so much. Ian loved hanging out with his sister-in-law, Chelsea Jerabek, and it was a joy to watch their relationship grow into a true brother sister relationship. He loved picking on her and treating her like his little sister, his only sibling, his PIMA. Ian enjoyed his many hours with his in-laws, Scott and Kim Jerabek, eating Kim’s food, talking guns with Scott, and exploring new places with his whole new family. Ian will be deeply missed but he will never be forgotten and he will never stop making the room laugh.
The Memorial and Life Celebration for Ian will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at Raintree Lake, 111 SW Cole Younger Drive, Lee’s Summit, MO 64082.
