Born on April 22, 1968, in Flint, Michigan, Isaac was a beacon of warmth and kindness, whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Isaac was the beloved son of the late Jewell Smith and Annie Ruth Smith, and he is now reunited with them and his brother, Steve Smith, in eternal rest. His legacy of love and laughter continues through his cherished family, including his devoted wife of 35 years, Sonya Yvonne Smith, whom he married on a beautiful Valentine's Day evening, February 14, 1991. Together, they built a life filled with joy, adventure, and unwavering love. A dedicated father, Isaac is survived by his son, Isaac Junior Smith the 2nd, and his daughter, Alaya Smith, who were his pride and joy. His memory and spirit will also live on through his treasured grandchildren, Amarus Jones, Anitrius Johnson, Azarion Simpson, and Kendrick Smith, who brought immense happiness to his life. Isaac was a man of many talents and passions. After graduating high school, he pursued a career in the maintenance field, where he developed a remarkable ability to fix just about anything. His hands were never idle; they were always crafting, repairing, and creating. Isaac was also a self-proclaimed chef, delighting his family with culinary creations, from homemade cookies and pizzas to fresh-caught fish prepared with love. His mother-in-law, Trudy Mae Nelms, was often the lucky recipient of his beautifully carved fruit bowls, a testament to his creativity and skill. Isaac's heart found joy in simple pleasures and hobbies that brought him closer to nature and family. Whether he was woodworking, fishing, or gardening, he found peace and fulfillment in these pursuits. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, often engaging in lively board games and video game sessions that echoed with laughter. In his younger days, Isaac was a familiar face at the Dojo, where he honed his skills and discipline. He also enjoyed tranquil moments along the Riverfront, finding solace in the gentle flow of water and the beauty of the world around him. Isaac's life was characterized by his warm smile and animated spirit, reminiscent of the classic cartoons he so dearly loved. He had an infectious sense of humor that lit up every room and made his children laugh and his wife smile each day.
