Isaac was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in October 2021, the same week he turned 12 years old. He gained his angel wings to be with God as he was just about to turn 15 years old. The news of bone cancer was sudden and devastating for all of us, and this battle over the past 3 years has been tough. Isaac was a strong warrior and he never let this cancer define him. He inspired our family and many others during his journey. He was extraordinarily brave and showed astounding resilience, even during his darkest days, Isaac chose to focus on the joyful parts of his everyday life. He kept his sense of humor, his smile and his love for his close friends and family. He continued to focus on his passions which pivoted from sports before to gaming, design and chess online after. We thank God for guiding us, giving us peace, and directing favors from medical professionals, pharmaceutical and distribution companies around the world to help Isaac access the best suitable treatments. While Isaac was taken from us all too soon, he wants to raise awareness about Osteosarcoma and continue to raise funds to help find a cure for this currently incurable cancer with limited advancements over the last 40 years.
