On October 24th, 2025, our family experienced an unimaginable tragedy. My brother, Isaiah Seymour, was tragically killed in a head-on collision outside of Reardan, Washington, on Highway 2. He was only 23 years old — with his whole life ahead of him.

What makes this loss even more unbearable is that just one day before, on October 23rd, we had gathered to celebrate the life of my son, Drake Pakootas, who was killed by a drunk driver in Inchelium, Washington, four years earlier in 2021. Losing Isaiah the very next day has reopened wounds that had never truly healed. Our hearts are shattered beyond words.

Isaiah was the youngest in our family — full of life, laughter, and love. He had a kind heart and a gentle soul that touched everyone who knew him. Losing him has left an emptiness that words can’t begin to describe.

This GoFundMe has been created to help our parents and Isaiah’s girlfriend, Dekayla, during this heartbreaking time. The funds will go toward:

• Funeral costs and arrangements

• Travel expenses to and from town for planning and services

• Flowers and memorial items

• Financial support to help ease the burden while our parents and Dekayla grieve the loss of their beloved son and partner

Any donation, no matter the amount, will help our family navigate the difficult weeks and months ahead. We are deeply grateful for all of the love, support, and prayers from friends, family, and community members.

Please keep our family and Dekayla in your thoughts as we honor Isaiah’s memory and try to find peace in this unimaginable loss.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

— The Family of Isaiah ❤️
