It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Isaiah Paiva, 23 years old, born on May 31, 2001, in Stockton, California. He joined the Paiva family at the age of eight and quickly became a cherished member of their lives. Isaiah is the beloved son of the late Daniel Paiva and is survived by his devoted mother, Melanie Paiva. He leaves behind his siblings: Sharmaine Bouche, Summer Paiva, Tanzi Miller (Keith), Angelo Paiva, Angelina Paiva, Apollonia Paiva, Anthony Paiva. He is also survived by his grandparents, Marlene and Lee Wageman, Rita Paiva, and the late Edwin Paiva.

   Isaiah attended New Haven Elementary School, GVA, East Union High School, playing freshmen football, and graduated from Delta Charter School in 2019 where he also played football.  A member of Grace Community Church, he was baptized at the age of 11 alongside his grandfather, Lee, marking a significant moment in his life.

   Most recently, Isaiah worked at Tesla on the production line, where he brought his enthusiasm and dedication to his role. He was an avid gamer who loved spending time with friends, exploring the latest video games, and discussing his favorite football team, the San Francisco 49ers, while keeping up with the stats.

   Isaiah had a flair for style, always looking sharp and smelling wonderful with the latest colognes. He enjoyed shopping and had a passion for collecting Pokémon cards and Funko Pops. A true lover of life, his goofy personality brought joy to those around him. He had a unique ability to make others laugh and always found the fun in every situation.  Isaiah's vibrant spirit and infectious laughter will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.

   P.L. Fry and Son is honored to be serving the Paiva family. A memorial will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. at Grace Community Church 850 J Street, Lathrop, Ca. For direct condolences to the family visit, www.plfryandson.com
