Hi my name is Jodie Petruzzelli I am setting this page up on behalf of Issachar Howard's family. They are family to me Issachar was my son's best friend. On Saturday May 21, 2022 Issachar was a drowning victim at Uncas Pond in Lyme, CT. He and his family were long time residents of Hamden, CT. Issachar was only 16 years old and had such big dreams. He was a great kid very talented with his music and writing. He loved all animals and wanted to run a farm. His family have been long time Hamden residents. As you can see in the picture that big smile he was so full of life and had a heart of gold he was a friend to all and a great son and brother to his family. He would do anything for anyone. His family needs help with the untimely expense of his funeral. No amount is too small whatever can be done to help them. This is a tragedy he was so full of life and to be a victim of drowning is so hard to fathom for all who knew and loved him. Please whatever you can do will be so appreciated we're all at a loss over losing him. In addition Issachar's mother is now struggling with everyday expenses she has been unable to work due to this tragedy and her and her family are struggling with everyday expenses. Issachar's youngest brother is only 5 years old and keeps asking when Issachar will be coming home. This matter is still under investigation it is nothing short of tragic! Please anything you can do to help this beautiful family is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to share this page as well. Thank you again he is missed everyday he was one of a kind he was the best kid who just accepted and befriended everyone!
