He was born on February 4, 2005, in San Antonio, Texas and passed away February 19, 2026, at the tender age of 21. He was surrounded by those who loved him and leaving an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Isaiah was diagnosed with cancer on December 24, 2021, and fought the courage battle with his vibrant spirit and infamous smile.

Isaiah was a bright light in the lives of his family and friends, particularly his loving parents, Matias Carrasco and Marisol Martinez. As a special needs young man, he possessed a unique outlook on life that touched the hearts of everyone around him. Isaiah had a passion for video games, music, Marvel movies, DC movies and the epic tales of Star Wars, going to festivals, and going to the beach finding joy in the worlds of imagination and adventure. He loved dance and enjoyed drinking his favorite chocolate shake from Dutch Bros and drinking Dr. Pepper. He loved going to eat breakfast at his favorite restaurant, Selly's sitting at table 7 and ordering 3 potato and egg tacos with a chocolate milk.

His high energy and infectious laughter could brighten any room, and he had a special talent for lifting spirits with his vibrant presence. Always did everything with a smile.
