Isaiah F. Johnson

Isaiah Fouche Johnson, 19, departed earth and this side of eternity on September 7, 2022, from
a motorcycle accident. He is survived by his mother Liat, his father Abner, his older brother
Bryan, maternal grandparents Stuart and Michele, and many more. Isaiah had more friends
than he realized but he cherished a special friendship and bond with his second family.
Isaiah was born on October 16, 2002, in Columbus Ohio. He graduated from Worthington
Kilbourne High School in December 2020 and joined the Ohio National Guard. He graduated
from basic training in August 2021 and returned home in December 2021 after graduating from
Advanced Individual Training. Isaiah loved being in uniform and was proud to be a Chinook
mechanic. He often spoke of going full time and was looking forward to flying.
As a boy, Isaiah was so bright, goofy and silly. He was caring for others, sensitive beyond words
and so loving of everyone around him. Isaiah was a beautiful kind and intelligent young man. He
had an intellectual mind and would have conversations about history, world events and
science. He really loved science and would get so vested whenever speaking on physics and
astronomy. Isaiah had many interests and passions including a long running interest in playing
guitars and making music. Many of Isaiah’s friends also know about his love of playing airsoft.
Isaiah also had a love for motorcycles and couldn’t wait until he was able to get his own. When
he was young, he was told that he could get his own bike when he was 50 years old. He would
be so sad that he had to wait that long. Isaiah’s dream came true when he got his bike and soon
after decided that he wanted to ride around the country vlogging his motorcycle adventures.
Isaiah never made it home from his first true solo ride, but we know that he left doing what he
always had dreamt of, and he was happy.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, September 19 at Epstein Memorial Chapel, 3232 E Main Street, Columbus. Email zoom1@epsteinmemorial.com for zoom link for Memorial service.
