In Memory of Tech. Sgt. Ian Patterson
A loving husband. A devoted father. A leader. Our brother.
Some losses reach across an entire community. The loss of Technical Sergeant Ian Patterson is one of them.
On October 17, 2026, Ian tragically lost his life following a rappelling accident at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
He leaves behind his wife, Niki, their two young children, and a community of family, friends, and teammates who will carry his memory forward.
Ian devoted 15 years to serving our nation in the United States Air Force. As a Tactical Air Control Party instructor, he helped prepare the next generation of Airmen to shoulder the responsibilities of a demanding profession. His service and leadership leave a lasting mark on the community he helped build.
For Niki and their children, this loss is deeply personal. Behind the rank and the uniform was the man they loved - a husband and a dad whose place in their lives can never be filled.
Nine Line Apparel has partnered with the TACP Foundation to create this memorial shirt in Ian’s honor. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this shirt will go to the TACP Foundation in support of the Patterson family, helping our community stand shoulder to shoulder with those he leaves behind.
The design pays tribute to Ian’s love of the Colorado Avalanche. Its burgundy, blue, and white palette, mountain imagery, and hockey-inspired lettering reflect the team he loved. The TACP Airman and A-10 aircraft connect that personal passion with his military service. Together, these elements honor both the man beneath the uniform and the profession to which he dedicated his life.
In the wake of this tragedy, so many have asked how they can help. This memorial shirt is one way to honor Ian and support his family through the difficult months ahead. Purchasing a shirt, sharing this tribute, or giving directly through the TACP Foundation’s family fundraiser are meaningful ways to show up.
Above all, please keep Niki, their children, Ian’s loved ones, and his teammates in your prayers, and respect their privacy as they grieve.
Ian, we honor your life, your service, and the love you leave behind. We will carry your memory forward by standing beside your family and your teammates through the days ahead.
Wear his name. Honor his memory. Support his family. Here is a direct link to

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What is a Nine Line?
At its core, Nine Line is a give-back organization, striving to give back to the military and first responder communities that fought and died for our freedoms.
From first responders and military non-profits to disaster relief initiatives, Nine Line is committed to the ongoing support of charitable initiatives that better the communities they serve.
Additionally, Nine Line remains committed to the notion that if we need it here, we should make it here.
Since its inception, Nine Line has remained committed to these three main tenets and will encourage others to ANSWER THE CALL in their own way.
What does your logo mean?
In the military, the term Nine Line is a distress call. It is often the difference between life and death and symbolizes the trust our servicemen and women have for one another.
As a company, we aim to offer our customers a platform to spend their hard-earned money on apparel that reflects their values and give them the chance to wear their beliefs on their sleeves.
As a lifestyle brand, Nine Line aims to reinvigorate a sense of patriotism and pride in our country that has eroded within our society.
Do I have to be active military or a veteran to wear your apparel?
Absolutely anyone can wear our apparel!
This is a frequent misconception about our apparel and who it’s made for.
Our goal is to bridge the gap between civilians and service members, whether they are military veterans, law enforcement, or first responders.
At Nine Line, we know that only united can the American people fight injustice and preserve our freedom and independence. We aim to be a voice for the people, a channel through which patriotic Americans can make themselves heard.
Nine Line Apparel represents the grit and commitment of all Patriotic Americans. Founded on the principles similar to other value based organizations, Nine Line aims to promote the issues faced by all those who have served their country, on both foreign and domestic soil.
Nine Line encourages a conversation between those who serve and those who support them.
Why is your flag backwards?
Our Army has the flag retreating portrayed on their uniform, implying that we are always moving forward into battle and never backwards.
The blue field of stars on the American Flag should always be in the highest position of honor.
When viewing the flag on a wall, the highest position of honor is the upper left when displayed horizontally, and at the top (upper left) when displayed vertically.
When displayed on a "moving object" like a person or vehicle, the highest position of honor is the front, and not the rear; so the field of blue should be displayed to the front.
