Isaias was born July 6, 1952 in La Pechuga Hidalgo, Mexico to the late Angela Aguilar Trejo and Guadalupe Fuentes- Gonzalez. He married Maria Guadalupe Paulin November 1974 in Hidalgo, Mexico.

Isaias was a deeply beloved brother, father, and friend. He was an inspiration of love, warmth, and kindness to all who knew him. He knew no stranger. He had an untiring love for his grandchildren, nurturing and guiding them with a heart full of kindness. His love for family was infinite, always putting others first and making memories filled with laughter and love. Isa loved the great outdoors, and farming. He was a fervent animal lover, he had range of poultry, goats, sheep, and pigs; showing a kindness that extended to every living being. He was the foundation of a strongly united family and a devoted Christian, leading by example with respect and humility. Isaias’ spirit, love, and presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of meekness will continue to inspire and guide those who were blessed to know him.

Isaías era un hermano, padre y amigo profundamente querido. Fue una inspiración de amor, calidez y bondad para todos los que lo conocieron. No conocía a ningún extraño. Tenía un amor incansable por sus nietos, nutriéndolos y guiándolos con un corazón lleno de bondad. Su amor por la familia era infinito, siempre poniendo a los demás primero y creando recuerdos llenos de risas y amor. A Isa le encantaba el aire libre y la agricultura. Era un ferviente amante de los animales, tenía una variedad de aves de corral, cabras, ovejas y cerdos; mostrando una bondad que se extendía a todos los seres vivos. Fue la base de una familia fuertemente unida y un cristiano devoto, que predicaba con el ejemplo con respeto y humildad. Se extrañará profundamente su espíritu, el amor y la presencia de Isaías, pero su legado de mansedumbre continuará inspirando y guiando a aquellos que tuvieron la bendición de conocerlo.
