In memory of Israel Iyabor

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of Israel, who was a very integral part of the lives he touched. Israel was a son, brother and most importantly a friend.

Israel would often be described as a very light hearted, jokey and full of ambition. He was a comedic and care free person. He relentlessly wore his heart on his sleeve. He was a shoulder to cry for those around him. It’s heartbreaking that he only had such a short but impactful and unforgettable time on earth with us. He had a deep love for sports, specifically martial arts and football, which he excelled at. He also had a deep devotion for his faith, actively participating in church and being involved within the youth sector at church.

Although, his life came to an abrupt end, he touched many hearts whilst on earth. His death was shocking and unimaginable as he was such a big part of the community around him including his school, football team and friends and family. Many teachers, friends, family have been left distraught by his abrupt death. He was truly a shining start and his memory will live on in all the lives he touched.

We are now reaching out for support asking to be able to provide him with the dignified farewell that he deserves. Our goal is to be able to fund the costs for his funeral, burial and memorial and support our family during such a devastating and distressing time.

Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a difference in our life and he deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give please consider sharing this page to bring awareness.
