Isaiah Jamar Woodley was born on September 9,1977. In Uniondale New York. To Angela Cobb and the late Isaiah Woodley Jr. Isaiah was raised and educated in the Nassau County school district and attended Baldwin high school. Isaiah departed this life on Wednesday May 3, 2023 at his home along with his wife Meleny. Without warning, notice or understanding God in his Infinite wisdom called Isaiah and Meleny to be in eternal peace and fellowship. Although our hearts are heavy right now we can still smile knowing that he will always be in our hearts and memories that unfold as we think of him.
Isaiah was a person who lived his life the way he wanted and no one could ever change that. Forsaking the well traveled roads in this world to travel on in the next. His departure is still shocking, and even though he's gone he will never be forgotten. We promise you that. Isaiah loved his family even through the many ups and downs. He loved being at family gatherings which he was the life of the party, being around his family and friends where he could be himself making jokes, dancing, laughing and enjoying a good home cooked meal at the barbecues and family gatherings.Isaiah was surrounded by the people who brought him the most love, peace and joy. He will truly be missed by family and friends.
Just know when I was afraid I put my trust in you; Psalm 56; 3-4. In life we must know that God's word will never fail us; Luke 1:37. For with God nothing will be impossible. John 3:16, for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have every lasting life. Isaiah knew Gods assignment for his life. In life we learn many lessons one important one it to love beyond measure. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart Colossians 3:15. God is forever omni presence in our lives and he will never leave or forsake us, just keep holding on to God's unchanging hand.
