Ivory leaves a massive hole in the hearts of his families and friends, who Ivory constantly entertained by his hilarious sense of humor. Ivory was the life of the party. He was passionate about family and loved to have a good time. He loved to dance, joke, and sing. Ivory also loved to cook. He could make the meanest fried chicken and loved scrambled eggs that you could "bounce off the wall," as his mother would say. Ivory wasn't large in stature, but his deep voice was larger than life and often projected through his favorite saying, "You feel me?" and his favorite song, Fantasia's "Lose to Win."
