  3. Gary — I remember Ivan as a little boy, and as a teenager when you brought him to a special program at the Commission. My daughter, Liana, also participated in that program, and I believe that the four of us had lunch together. Over the years, I have enjoyed your pictures of your travel and adventures with Ivan. How wonderful to spend so much time together. He was such a handsome young man with a face that radiated happiness. His death is such a devastating loss, and I send deep condolences to the entire family.
    Sincerely,
    Deborah

  11. Ivan was my best friend growing up. I still remember all those times we hung out, played, and shared life experiences together through Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, School, we were inseparable. I was devastated to hear this news and feel bad that we drifted apart due to college and life but he would always try to tell me jokes, remember my birthday, and always remember me on the holidays. I should have been better to you Ivan and I’m sorry for everything you went through. You are now a void that can never be filled and you touched so many of our hearts over these 35 years. Now, you are with God and I’m happy you are resting peacefully and I will miss you and have missed you. Lighting a candle for you my friend know that I am sorry again for growing distant and sorry for your family’s loss of a son who left this world way too early. Rest in heavenly peace Ivan.

  12. It’s difficult to put into words the shock and heartbreak I feel knowing that a light like Ivan is no longer in this world. Ivan and I worked closely together, and he was always such a positive, soft-spoken soul. He had a quiet sense of humor, a gentle spirit, and carried himself with so much kindness and grace.

    We shared work trips together, and I will always remember what a true gentleman he was. He never let any of the women carry our luggage, always opened doors, and carried himself with a level of chivalry that is rare to see. He was a joy to be around, extremely intelligent, and he had a way of sharing interesting stories and little fun facts that made conversations with him memorable. I will truly miss our talks, and I feel incredibly grateful to have met him.

    While I find some peace in knowing he is no longer suffering or in pain, the space his passing leaves behind will always be felt. Ivan’s kindness and positivity touched so many people, and the world feels a little dimmer without him here.

    I am sending my deepest prayers and condolences to his family, his friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. I am so deeply sorry for this loss. Ivan was a wonderful peer and friend, and he will be missed dearly.

  15. I am incredibly saddened to hear about the loss of Ivan. I had the pleasure of working with Ivan at Navy Federal and from the first moment I met him, I could tell what a bright light he was. Ivan was genuinely one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and funny people I’ve had the opportunity to work with. When I went on my first cruise, Ivan was was so excited for me and he couldn’t wait to share his tips and tricks for cruising.

    Ivan was 1 of 1 and he was always able to effortlessly light up a room. He will be sorely missed but to the parents and family of Ivan, I hope you know you raised an amazing man who was kind, thoughtful, and caring. While his time on earth was cut short, it didn’t stop him from making and lasting impact on me and everyone who had the pleasure of crossing paths with him.

  16. Receiving the devasting news of Ivan’s passing made the week emotionally heavy. Ivan was a special and sweet soul. I would tell him he’s extra special because he’s a Christmas baby and he always humble about it.

    I had the pleasure and honor of working with him on several projects and initiatives at Navy Federal. All I can say is he was genuinely a great person who was a joy to work with. He exuded kindness, warmth, caring, and respectfulness towards any and everyone. Let’s not mention how funny he was! He would say something funny during our event preparations that would leave us in tears. Or during meetings like two school children holding laughter during class. He literally was a breath of fresh air on high volume days. I could have had a stressful or busy day, and Ivan would come by smiling and that immediately made me genuinely smile. You had no choice but to smile when he came by or you saw him because he was a walking ray of sunshine filled with positivity, good vibes and activated happiness. Without hesitation, he would stop what he was doing to help me or anyone. As a matter of fact, he was always eager to help more after he finished helping. I would always tell him, “Relax, you’re fine. The assistance you provided was more than enough and I appreciate you.”

    His passing has truly left sadness and a void. He is and will always be missed. To The Seigel family, Ivan’s loved ones, closest friends and all whose lives he touched, I’m sending my prayers and deepest condolences to you all. May the beautiful memories he created with you live your hearts forever. I pray you feel God’s comforting arms around you in times of sadness. And in those times of sadness may good memories you made with Ivan overtake your sadness and cause you to smile instead of crying.

    Ivan, thank you for your kindness and everything. You left a positive footprint and are most certainly missed. Friend, you have helped more than enough and I will continue to keep you and your family in prayer. May you now relax and rest so peacefully. “Relax, you’re fine.”

  17. It is incredibly difficult and heartbreaking to know that such a beautiful soul and a bright light to this world has passed on. Ivan brought so much joy to all those around him. His kindness touched everyone he crossed paths with. His presence always lit up the room.

    Ivan, thank you for crossing paths with me, I can truly say I know an angel.

  18. I’m shocked and heartbroken to hear of Ivan’s passing. He was always so warm, helpful, and enthusiastic whenever we crossed paths at work. Even though I didn’t have the chance to work directly with him, every time I stopped by his desk to say hello, he would light up, make small talk, and bring such positive energy. Those brief interactions left a lasting impression. He made such a difference to those around him at work in a short time, I can only imagine the impact he had on his family and friends. He truly was a bright light and will be deeply missed.

  20. I can’t even think of what to write here as I am still in shock after hearing of his sudden passing. I knew Ivan for a short time as we were colleagues at Navy Federal. I rememeber passing by his desk to always be greeted with a warm smile and welcoming demeanor. We became friends during the last few months of last year and he was so kind to be during a tough time in my life. He was a good friend and a congenial colleague who brought kindness, warmth and competence into any interaction I have had with him. I cannot fathom that he is gone but I am so glad to have crossed paths with him.

    I hope God gives his family all the strength you need to get through this unbareable time.

    Ivan, wherever you are, thank you for being a good friend to me. I hope you are resting in peace.
