Accessed June 7, 2025
Isaac Jacob Williams, 18, of Chesapeake, Ohio, went to be with the Lord on April 17, 2022.

Isaac thought, "All people die, but not all people live." He was a lover of life, attempted many great things and he loved the nostalgia of the "Good ol' days." A gentle breeze, his life flowed like a river in search of the sea. Isaac in Hebrew means "He will laugh." His happy laughter and sincere smile provided courage and comfort to us all.
Isaac was born on September 27, 2003 in Huntington, WV son of Tommy Dale and Mary Christine Williams. Isaac was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Harold Allen Shank; and his uncle, Daniel Ray Callicoat.

In addition to his parents Isaac is survived by two brothers, Brandon and Jesse Williams; his maternal grandmother, Ernestine Shank; paternal grandparents, Charles and Dorothy Williams; aunts and uncles, Angie and Larry George, Chuck Williams, Maria Callicoat, and Jason Shephard; and cousins Katie and Tyler George.

Friends may gather from 4-7 pm on Thursday, April 21, 2022 at Expression Church, 115 Cheshire Way, Huntington, WV. A private funeral service will be conducted for the family. Reger Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.regerfh.com.
