I am so sorry for your loss and the pain and grief you are experiencing—such a senseless tragedy to happen to such a vibrant young man.  May your many wonderful memories of Isaia  sustain you and give you comfort. Your community weeps for you. Deborah Harbaugh

My deepest condolences and sympathy from our family to yours. Praying that the Lord will comfort you in your pain. 

May 28, 2018

I am so sorry for your loss; such a young person. It is my hope that Isaia’s family and friends may find comfort in our promised future.
John 5:28, 29 assures us that the ones we have lost to the common enemy of death WILL hear Jesus’ voice and come out of the memorial tomb. And Revelation 21:4 promises that we will never have to experience the pain of loss ever again. These things are made possible only by means of Jesus’ great sacrifice of giving his own perfect life for our behalf. – Matthew 20:28

May 28, 2018

Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort as you remember “Isaia” wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends and family for strength, and always remember how much you are loved.
Councilwoman Janet Diaz

You don’t know me but I’m praying for all of you- family and friends- for grace now and in the years to come.  Only God can truly comfort the broken-hearted but I pray for all to stay close, to love one another for many many months to come.

Como madre solo puedo imaginar el dolor que ha causado esta tragedia. Mi hijo e Isaia trabajaban juntos y yo lo veia llegar  cuando  llevaba a mi hijo al trabajo. Muy buen muchacho. El esta en el cielo ahora en manos de Dios. Este accidente ha afectado mis emociones y entiendo lo fragil que es la vida, pero no puedo entender por que esto ha sucedido de esta manera. Espero que esta creatura haya traido mucha alegria a sus vidas como padres en este corto tiempo que Dios nos lo presto. Espero que su espiritu este en muchos de los jovenes de ahora dando buen ejemplo. Espero que Dios pronto restaure el don de la alegria en su familia, Isaia queria verlos felices. Dios les conceda la paz en sus corazones y puedan ver las bondades de la vida nuevamente. Mi mas sentido pesame. Su familia esta en mis oraciones. Maria Ortiz.

dear family of Isaiah my thoughts and prayers are with you  hope they find who did this

May 27, 2018

Dear Isaia you didn’t know me and I didn’t know you. But I was one of the last people to see you alive and killed all in one instant. The horrible accident still replays in my head. I was already calling 911 right before impact and my husband was already running towards you to try and help in anyway. We cried when he told me he checked your pulse and you didn’t have one. You were so so young and had such a full life to live still.  For reasons none of us will ever know though ,God decided to call you home. This world wasn’t for you. You needed better than this .Writing this I am teary eyed at work and it’s crazy cuz I didn’t even know you. I never saw you before .I never met you .I don’t even know how you sounded when you talked. I don’t know what your favorite color was or your ambitions as a young man .I do know that it hurts me to know we lost another good kid .Thru absolutely no fault of your own .And it’s heartbreaking knowing your bday was the day after you got killed .I’m sincerely sorry to you and for your family. Regardless of what they give the guy who killed you ,it’ll never bring you back. So they’ll never truly be justice. May the Lord hold your family together in this time of need. And more importantly may you rest in peace bud . I don’t think I’m gonna ever forget this. It’s implanted in my head .I’m sure you were scared and wondering how this could happen to you and why. I’m sure you prayed before you left this earth .I’m sure you knew your entire family loved you very much and they always will .My sincere condolences .Nothing I say will make this better .Just know a complete stranger is praying for you and your family. <3 sincerely Jasmin Mary Sepulveda and Julio Enrique Sepulveda Jr
