Ian Robert Tully was born in Corvallis, Oregon, to Connie M. Ash and Charles D. Tully. During his short time on earth, he was thrown many curve balls, yet he continued on, enjoying life and bringing laughter to those around him.
Ian had it figured out. He lived simply. He loved his dog, his pony, his home, football, westerns and any kind of music — but most of all, he loved his people, and if those people were with him at the beach, there was nothing better.
Ian went to Monroe Grade School through eighth grade and graduated from Philomath High School in 2017. During his brief life, he was a true warrior. He also enjoyed spending time with friends and support workers at CEI and Work Unlimited in Corvallis.
Ian is survived by his parents, his brother Isaac, and many cousins, aunts and uncles, whom he loved dearly. Ian will live on forever in our hearts and is sorely missed.
His ashes will be scattered at the Oregon coast, and a Celebration of Life will be held in late spring of 2027.
Memorial contributions can be sent to ARC of Benton County, The National Down Syndrome Society, Doernbecher Children’s Hospital or The Lennox Gastaut Foundation.
Arrangements have been made through DeMoss-Durdan of Corvallis.
