Isa was born on November 5, 1936 in Mercedes, TX to parents Juan & Eugenia.
He was raised in Raymondville, TX where he attended school. As a young man he and his family made a living picking cotton.
On February 9, 1958 he married Lionires (Nina). The following year they welcomed their first daughter, Irene. Shortly after, they moved to California to work in the fields. While there, they welcomed their son, Juan (Johnny). When they moved back to Texas they settled in Dallas where Isa became a licensed barber. He cut hair for over 30 years. Later, the baby of the family, Estella, was born.
Isa loved spending time with family and friends and he was almost always seen with a guitar. He self-taught himself to play at the young age of 8 and gave us a lifetime of the most beautiful music.
