Isaiah David Bailon was born on September 5, 2006, and passed away on April 30, 2026, at the age of 19. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, and friend, and his absence is felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.

Those closest to Isaiah will remember a young man whose gentle spirit and kind heart were evident in the way he treated others—with steady respect, quiet consideration, and a sincerity that did not ask to be noticed to be felt. He carried himself with a strong sense of responsibility, meeting life with hard work and a willingness to do what needed to be done. Even in serious moments, Isaiah’s humor had a way of bringing light, offering comfort through laughter when it was needed most.

Isaiah was artistic and loved to draw. Through his art, he expressed himself with care and imagination, leaving behind traces of his perspective—thoughtful, observant, and uniquely his own.

Above all, Isaiah loved his family. He protected and cared for them, showing his devotion not only in words, but in the steadfast way he stood close, looked out for those he loved, and gave of himself without hesitation. He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Cristal; father, David; sister, Aniyah; girlfriend, Nayeli; as well as grandparents, cousins, friends, tíos, and tías.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude: Thank you to everyone who reached out, donated, prayed, supported our family, and showed their love for Isaiah.
