Isaiah's warm spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

His aunt Linda Martinez and family held a special place in Isaiah's heart. Additionally, he was blessed to have godparents Pete and Dorothy Valdez and their loving family by his side throughout his remarkable journey. Isaiah's love extended far beyond bloodlines as he leaves behind countless extended family members whose lives were touched by knowing him.
