Celebrating Izaiha's Legacy of Love

I'm not sure if you know me, but I'm IZAIHA'S (Shrimps) sister BREE (Munch). "If you know, then you know."

I'm here to celebrate my little brother's "Legacy of Love."

IZAIHA loved everyone unconditionally and would help anyone with whatever he had to give. Whether that be time, advice, or just his precious soul. He had an unforgettable smile and would light the room with his presence. He grew up fast, did what he had to, and took care of his responsibilities of being a man at a young age. He sacrificed his youth for his kids; he loved his daughters and loved being a dad and giving them the world.

He was young and had so much more to live through and experience. He was a protector for his family and had a warrior spirit. He has a mother and father he leaves behind, a brother and 3 sisters, uncles and aunties, and cousins. His fiancée and kids, and other baby mother and oldest daughter. His extended family on her side. Friends and family, co-workers and their family, his friends and sports family he played with, coaches and buddies I've missed. I can't even imagine how this loss has voided everyone who knew him and the great things he had taught everyone: to keep your loved ones close and tell them you love them no matter how long it's been or how close you are. Telling your loved ones you love them is a beautiful thing. Together we can find the strength.

Unfortunately, he won't get to be here any longer to see his daughters face to face and tell them how much he did love them.

But I don't want his name or his legacy to be remembered in vain. I want everyone who knew him to remember his original ways and don't forget that laugh and the feeling they felt when his love and presence was around. He loved everyone and spread his presence with love and kindness, patience, dignity, and respect.

IZAIHA RAUDENBUSH GONE TOO SOON. REST YOUR WORRY AND REST IN PEACE BABY. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HERE IN SPIRIT AND YOUR DAUGHTERS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU BY YOUR "LEGACY OF LOVE."

GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

(If our love could bring him back.)

Please remember that if you or someone you know is feeling down about life or if you want to talk but feel like you can't, talking to somebody, anybody around you that will listen, even writing how you're feeling down, please. If you're having a bad day, there are people here who care about you, love you, and will be here to support you. Even though you may feel like you have no one to turn to, please find the strength to ask for help or ask for resources that can help with your struggles because you're not alone.

Mental and emotional healing is right around the corner, you just have to reach out, speak out, ask for guidance, or just ask for help. A listening ear or a shoulder to cry on will not be too much to ask for. You can find help. Talk with someone. We love you through it all: ugly, struggle, pain, grief, depression, addiction, and mental health, and have no judgment. Just ask for help. If you can't find the strength to work it out, you can and will with support and help.

Any donations made are going to Izaiha's cremation and memorial services.

Thank you for your time and love support at this time of grief.

Everything is so much appreciated.
