Ian paid tribute to his mother on Instagram last year in honor of her 50th birthday, writing: “Happy birthday, my coworker! I’m so proud of you and inspired by your passion, artwork, and gangster attitude! I’ll be eternally grateful for being able to watch you grab this life by the neck and make it yours.”

He went on to say, “But having you as my mother is the most precious gift I could receive. It’s incredibly astounding that you can be everything you are while still making time to be there for me, love me, and support me completely. You are the true superhero, and the entire Marvel universe has nothing on you! Mom, I adore you! YO DAY!! Today and every day!!”
