It’s taken me a minute to process Ivan’s passing and I’m not sure I will ever have the words to express how much he meant to me but here’s a try. Thank you to all that have reached out to me and the @imgmodels team during this time ❤️🥹💔🙏🏻 Oh my dearest Ivan, We were supposed to grow old together and dance until 5 am and then go find fried chicken anywhere we could at any day of the week! I just love you so much. Thank you for everything Ivan. You changed my life. You gave me a dream career that anyone could only imagine. Anything you touched became a star 🌟 Pure magic 🪄 but also you became not only my boss but my best friend. You believed in your team. You championed us. You challenged us. You are an inspiration to all. Some would say I married my job instead of getting married young, but who wouldn’t marry THE Ivan Bart! I said YES! And I learned something new every day from you. Your wit, energy, loyalty, and genius is one of another universe. Sitting next to you for 20 years and being in any room with you was nothing short of AWE! You made work and life FUN!! I truly don’t think you even realized your kindness, passion and power! But that’s what also made you special ... a sense of humbleness. You took time for everyone, saw beauty in everyone and everything, even in the darkest clouds. You cared so much. I can’t imagine doing life without you but I will do my best to carry on your legacy Ivan!!! I love you forever. Thank you from the bottom of heart ❤️ I miss you. “Red” “la Benz” “benson” ❤️🙏🏻
