Isa passed away on January 2nd, and while his presence will be deeply missed, his legacy of compassion, creativity, and service will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Isa was an artist at heart, a talented sketch artist whose creativity extended beyond the canvas. He crafted magnificent dresses for his performances at It’s a Drag to Give, where his artistry and passion for self-expression flourished. Isa was known for his unwavering kindness and his ability to lift others up with his infectious smile, reminding everyone he met of the kindness that still exists in the world. His life was characterized by his kindness and compassion. He always had a constant drive to explore new ideas of service and support for his community.

Whether it was through his leadership in local causes like the Long Beach Immigrant Rights Coalition, the Downtown Business Association, or his advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, Isa never had a negative word to say about anyone. His life was dedicated to bringing people together, creating a space where diversity was celebrated, and every voice was heard. Isa was a champion of service, always finding new ways to support others with an open heart.

A Buddhist, his faith was a guiding force in his life. It inspired him to live with compassion and courage, always striving to create peace and harmony in the world around him. His spiritual practice was a core part of his identity, infusing his actions with a deep sense of purpose and mindfulness.

He had a love of adventure and travel, and his zest for life led him to explore new experiences—like learning to scuba dive— Isa’s passion for fashion and his eye for design made him a visionary fashion designer. 

Isa’s legacy is one of boundless generosity, artistry, and unwavering positivity. He has touched countless lives, and his impact will continue to be felt in the ongoing work of the organizations and causes he championed.

We extend our deepest condolences to Isa’s family, friends, and the entire Long Beach community.  Isa is survived by his mother Rocio, father Hector, sisters Vanna and Josie, 3 nephews Abraham, Jayden, Naithan, and niece Evelyn.

Isa’s spirit of adventure, creativity, and kindness will continue to inspire us all. His smile, his heart, and his dedication to peace will forever be with us, reminding us of the beauty in service and the power of compassion.
