Ivan was a part of a special group of friends that considered each other family.
Each of these kids had troubles in their lives that brought them together and out of their depths and into the loving arms of each other.
Not only were they family, but they also made wonderful music together.
Each had a tremendous gift and exercised it as often as possible - usually together in their group, named Tuned.
To learn more about Tuned, you may read a memory by Chris on the memories page.
