We had 4 years that I will never forget and I know that I always kept a small space in your heart and you will always keep one in mine. Thank you for being a special part of my life and for preparing me for my future. To the family,I am sorry I did not know about this sooner. I hope you know how much I cared. I will remember Isaac for the good memories that will remain with me forever.

Isaac, I have finally visited this webpage, after more than 4 months following your tragic and early death and departure from this world. I am heartened by the messages left by your friends at work and in the community of Olympia were you lived your young adulthood, that you were appreciated and loved and very much missed. You are loved in Houston and Galveston too, and even in San Antonio by people who only knew you through pictures and my stories about you. I will not recover from losing you too early, little one, because I was stil needful of learning from you, and laughing with you and trading obscure new words and art work, as I am certain was Felix.
Your 34th birthday is coming up next Saturday, and I am left with being unable to get you another birthday gift that you can use or read, nor can I again celebrate with you, and that makes me ineffably saddened.
I do know that love extends far beyond physical death, but I miss you beyond capability of expression, Isaac.
Love, Mom

I'm heartbroken. I helped raise Isaac from 3 to 13 years old, when I was married to his mother. It is great to see what a successful young man he became, and my heart goes out to his family. It was such a pleasure living with him, such a good child/person. All my condolences to the family.

Issac: My condolences to your family and friends; I will miss you very much. It is hard to say all that could or should be said, and I hope perhaps the simplicity of a few words may sum up my feelings of loss and grief at this time. I am thankful for the opportunity to have known you as a coworker at both the Hospital Diversion House and at Crisis Resolution Services for Behavioral Health Resources. I'm glad for the many times you shared your insight and knowledge with all of us at HDH and CRS, and I will remember your input discussing the more intricate and thorny issues we sometimes faced in our work. I am sad to lose such talent , wit, and compassion, too soon. Thank you for your friendship, mentoring and passion for your lifework; I will always remember you as a one of the most sagacious and salient beings I have encountered. Adieu, mon ami

I met Isaac in Galveston through my brother Clinton around 1992.
Isaac was a truly unique,intelligent and loving human being. I am glad that he was a friend in our lives. We had many great in depth conversations that made me look at life in a different light. I can't believe that he is gone and I will truly miss my friend Isaac.
I will always remember the time when I was having a bad moment and without me telling a soul what I was going through...Isaac walks up to me
and tells me, "Jason, just keep the faith. You have to keep the faith."
To this day whenever I go through the same mess, I always hear Isaac and always will.
I love you buddy.
We'll see each other again one day.
My love to your family and friends.
-Jason

George,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I never had the pleasure of meeting your son but in reading the on line condolences it sounds like he was a very caring person, admired by many. It is so sad when one so young leaves us. I know how hard that must be for you and your family. I wish we could have stayed in touch more. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Isaac at Ball High School in Galveston, Texas 1992. We became great friends and remained friends ever since. He was a very big part of my life. He had such a positive influence in my life as well. I learned so much from Isaac and treasured any and every piece of literature, music and knowledge he would pass on to me. It is friends and family like Isaac who played a hand in shaping who I am now. And, I am proud to say I am going to miss Isaac, because he gave me something to miss. My heart goes out to his family, friends and everyone he may have touched throughout his life. I love you brother, and I will miss you. Until we meet again.

"It is said time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain, in time the mind protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it is NEVER gone" (Rose Kennedy). I found this quote fitting.
I met Ike in 2002, on my first night shift @ HDH. We talked all night long and from then on we were good friends. We both worked at the E&T and during our "4 month" training process we often passed silly notes and got in trouble for being disruptive. We would often hang out after work talking about work problems, philosophical ideas, and stories about Felix. I remember right after Felix was born he was telling me what supplies he still needed. The next day after we were off I told him to come over to my car because I had something for Felix. It was a breast pump, and he immediately started laughing and saying how only I would get that and not be embarrassed about it.
Isaac's had a profound impact on my life. My mind has been flooded with memories and images of Isaac that I will never forget. I miss you my friend, goodbye.

Isaac was a dear friend not only at work but to our family. He was my husband's best friend and was always there whenever Todd needed him no matter the time of day or night. I also worked with Isaac at BHR for 4 years and learned alot from him. Watching him was like watching a miracle every time. The way he saved so many people's lives and helped them in their time of crises was just amazing. I respected him and learned alot about who I was by listening and watching him at what he did best, listen and help them no matter what the issue was. When he was with Todd, it made my husband a happier man and would help my husband through so many of his own issues being a war veteran and living through so many wars and times overseas. I loved Isaac as a co-worker and a friend and it will not be the same without him. He will be dearly missed. To the family I met at the service and mostly at the "Wake", (especially Grandma and his son). You will all be in our prayers and "Ike" will always be in our hearts and lives. You could never have a better friend than Ike was to all of us. He will be dearly missed. This world lost not only a great person, but an even better Crises Counsler. May god be with you all.
R.I.P. Isaac "IKE"

From the first time I met Isaac two years ago in the Providence Emergency Department, he touched my life and has continued to do so ever since. We were fast friends but I was initially impressed by his incredible competence and compassion with which he worked his cases. The Crisis Services staff could always count on Isaac to give his all and work toward a safe outcome for his patient. There were times when Isaac would be having a slow night over at his crisis unit and call me up and ask if I wanted help at my crisis unit. Busy or not, I would invite him over and share some laughter; Isaac's humor was as twisted as mine -- we laughed a LOT. Sometimes we would talk literature or philosophy or music; the depth and breadth of Isaac's knowledge was unbelievable. There were times when we would talk obscure psychological or philosophical theories until late into the night. I miss that. But we went to some amazing concerts... I will never forget how excited Isaac was about Exene Cervanka and John Doe singing an acoustic version of "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts;" it was as if they had done it just for him. Nor will I forget the light in Isaac's eyes when he would share stories about Felix. To call Isaac a proud father would be a huge understatement. His beaming smile warmed the room as he would relate Felix's latest funny story.
My heart hurts for Isaac's family and for his son.
I hope I see you again, my friend.

We feel such profound sorrow for all of you who knew, loved and worked with Isaac. It's obvious that he was a special young man with many special gifts and talents. It's also obvious how much he loved his son, Felix. God bless you all and give you peace, bless and take care of Felix and never let him forget how much his father loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The death of one so young and so gifted makes little sense to those of us left to wonder what might have been if Isaac had lived longer. But the gifts Isaac shared while he was with us will live on in my memory. During these past 3 years as I worked with him, I saw a young man who always put the client first. His compassion and ability to connect with some of the most difficult were deeply admired. He could bring calm in a difficult situation and lighten up even the most disgruntled or fearful client with his gentle smile and respectful manner. I always knew that things would turn out well if Isaac was involved. Isaac's LIFE and DEATH bring me a sense of wonder, so I sit in quiet prayer for him and his family. May he, and all who knew and loved him, be at peace.

Isaac, I feel so sad and shocked to know that you are no longer with us. I took for granted all the times I saw you around town, all the times I waited on you at the restaurant, and all the times you came into the record store when I worked there. You were one of the first people I met when I moved to Olympia and you made such a huge impression on me. I really admired you and always loved hearing your stories. I wish I would have told you that. Thank you for speaking your truth, for standing up for what is right, and for being so gentle and kind. I will think of you every time I walk through the park, and you will always be in my memory. Goodbye, Isaac. You will be greatly missed by those that knew you.

Isaac, you will be greatly missed by many of us. You have made a very positive impact on many lives for which I admire and will never forget. Your intellect, humor, sarcasm and great nature often kept me laughing when work was tough for me in the ER. Your generosity, positive spirit and compassion will forever be remembered by those you worked with, your friends and your family. I will miss you much as I always admired your spirit and dedication towards those who were hurting. I do hope my friend that you find peace. To Isaac's friends and family, I am so sorry for your loss if there is anything I can do please call and let me know.

Isaac, I remember that you were the first person that trained me on my first day in mental health and you made me laugh and you made it fun. Over the 5+ years I have worked with you and or seen the affects of the work you do I have noticed you were feircely compassionate and one of the greatest advocates for those in crisis in this area. I thank you for all the times you took to give me guidence and encouragement in the work we do. I thank you for all the laugher and irreverence at times made things much more interesting. I thank you for all the emails, most of which helped to expand mine and I am sure others vocabulary.
To Isaac's family I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers and heart are with you at this time.
We will miss you Isaac.

Ike was a dog soldier to the very end. No matter what my respect for you will never end. I am going to miss you, no one respected me for being who I am like you did and supported me like you did. The work you did for others was unreal i know it effected you much the same way it effected me, but your work was harder then mine and it reflected in how much you needed release and I was proud to be there for you to help but will always morn the fact that it was not enough. You shed your skin brother...
I keep thinking of a discography for your funeral... but your taste in music as well of your knowledge of it renders me unable... but I know that its punk and its intelligent and its wild and soulful beyond belief.
Next time i see you we are going to wrestle... sing some songs... and howl...

My work partner, or shall I say work husband? That's what we called each other. You made me laugh. You made me think. From you I learned how to do the job. We really did awesome things in these two counties and touched a lot of folks out there. If at the very least I know that our side show sure made an impact on our coworkers and either kept them laughing or irritated throughout their shifts--for this was always the goal. I am proud to have worked with you! I will greatly & deeply miss you, nevertheless I will carry on with the same compassion and strength that you modeled in our office. My heart goes out to your family. Please know that if there is anything any of in CRS can do we are but a phone call away. With love, my friend.

I didn't know Isaac well, but during my years at Orca Books he was a frequent and friendly visitor, who was always ordering books with daunting titles like The Conumdrum of Apocalyptic Spanish Architecture or whatever, and I'm sure all of us there thought of him as a gentle genius.

I've known Isaac since the late 90's when he worked at HDH on Puget Street in Olympia. After the takeover of South Sound Mental Health Services by Behavioral Health Resources in 2005, we worked together on the crisis team for nearly 2 years. Isaac was the smartest caring person I've known in the mental health field. His passing is sad in ways that are unutterable.
Isaac was diligent, compassionate and possessed an integrity that is rare in this world. I will miss him and hold him dear in my heart, for he was a friend.
