Isaiah Raynard Martin

Isaiah Raynard Martin, age 3, went to be with Jesus on September 26, 2014. He was the beloved son of Raynard Eric and Lindsey Martin and big brother to Andrew. He is also survived by his grandparents Scott and Cyndi Gray and Raynard and Sharon Martin; and his aunts and uncles, Lauryn and Matt Byrdy, Amy and Aaron Massey, and Sarah Martin. Isaiah was a loving, kind, funny and compassionate child that lived life with a contagious joy that spread to all those who knew him. He loved big trucks, ice cream, playing drums, stuffed animals, dancing, riding his bike, going to church and being a big brother. He also enjoyed playing all sports, especially being a hockey goalie on the ice rink in his back yard last winter. He had already developed a passion for learning and enjoyed reading his many books, visiting the zoo and the aquarium, and going to preschool. He recently memorized his first Bible verse and would proudly share it with anyone who would listen, "God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9.
