Isaiah was born on July 5, 2007 in Framingham, Ma. Throughout his life he was known to have a smile that would light up a room. Isaiah was also a huge New England sports fan and enjoyed attending games with his family. He was super competitive and loved playing any and all sports.

Isaiah was diagnosed at age one with Polymicrogyria, a rare condition that affected the development of his brain. Even with a full awareness of his disability, he never let it get in the way of living his life to the absolute fullest. After being granted a wish in 2015, Isaiah became an active family member of the Children’s Wishes of RI. He also was extremely involved with the Special Olympics of RI and The Outreach Program (TOPS).

Isaiah was a 6^th grader at Fredrick W. Hartnett Middle School in Blackstone, MA. His favorite pastimes were playing outside with his neighborhood friends, watching sports especially hockey and wrestling (WWE), and playing video games, such as Fortnite. Isaiah was kind, fearless, and loved to make everyone around him laugh. He especially loved his family and being a brother. He will be missed so much by many.
