In his younger years, Isaias proudly enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he honorably served his country. He lived life to the fullest, embracing adventure, hard work and was a skilled boxer. Known as a “Jack of All Trades,” Isaias had a gift for fixing just about anything and a personality that could light up any room. A jokester at heart, he loved making people laugh with his playful “white lies”. Even in his stubborn moments, his charm always shone through. Isaias found great joy in fishing, leatherworking, cooking for loved ones, and exploring the open road as a truck driver. He cherished the sights he saw and the people he met along the way. At home, he loved quiet moments spent reading his favorite Louis L'amour books, running, and watching his favorite westerns. Above all, he treasured time with his family and friends, who will forever remember his warm heart and playful spirit.
