In 1992, Ian made his way to Park City to join son David. He was very active in the community, supporting several charities, including the National Ability Center, and served as a Board Member of the Make a Wish Foundation. In 1993, Ian married Nancy Pollard and played an integral role in the lives of Nancy’s children: Brodie, Getty and Pablo Pollard. Ian is fondly remembered for successfully integrating the two families and creating lasting memories of family vacations and experiences. While living in Park City, Ian pursued real estate development. Many will remember his iconic English accent on KPCW, “This is Ian Dowie for Goshawk Ranch!” Ian had a unique ability of connecting with his son’s generation of friends. In the small town of Park City, where most people came from somewhere else, Ian became a “second father” to many young people through his generosity, openness and desire to engage. He loved spending time with his daughter-in-law, Daniela, and beautiful grandchildren, James and Sophia. In 2006, Ian married Nicki. They moved to Salt Lake City to begin the next chapter in Ian’s life. Ian was proud of his English heritage and maintained a close relationship with his many cousins in London, which he has passed on to his son and grandchildren. We are so grateful that his cousins, Jackie and Alan, decided to attend his funeral to honor his life. The family wishes to express gratitude to the many caregivers at Cottonwood Creek Assisted Living and Envision Hospice, and to all the people who loved him.

The businesses I’ve asked for donations for auction items have been wonderful.” Some of the items up for auction will be a dinner made by Dar Hendrickson, a longtime Park City Ski Team coach, and the opportunity to go skate skiing with the U.S. men’s Nordic team. With the annual Spring Tourn- ee coming up, the fundraiser comes at a perfect time for the two teams. Excitement is beginning to gather in the area just half a year away from another Winter Olympics, so the team needs to ensure — through the Dream USA 2018 Gala — it’ll be able to make it there. “We’re just so grateful,” Macuga said. “We’re grateful to the Jeremy Ranch Golf Course for helping us out, as well as the whole community endeavor [to help us].” The Dream USA 2018 Gala will take place on Wednesday, July 26, and is scheduled to go from 6:30-9:30 p.m. at the Jeremy Ranch Golf & Country Club.
