🕊️ Remembering Ian Richard Olson.
After battling lymphoma for 10 long years, Ian finally received the news he had fought his entire childhood to hear — he was cancer free. He was only 18 years old and had his whole life ahead of him.
Just one week later, on December 21, 2018, Ian was shot in the back of the head during a robbery in Portland. His killer, Jeremiah Hannon, was 15 years old and reportedly admitted he did it simply because he “felt like it.”
Ian dreamed of the life so many take for granted — getting married, having a family, building a future. That future was stolen from him forever.
Now, the person who murdered him is scheduled to walk free before turning 25.
At some point, society has to stop pretending someone is “too young to understand” when they are fully capable of pulling a trigger and taking an innocent life.
Never forget Ian Olson. 🙏
