Isaac Benjamin Hazen

Our beloved Isaac Benjamin Hazen was born in Katy, Texas on January 6, 2002. He came home to our family when he was 3 days old. His adoption was finalized May 24, 2002. He was sealed to our family, for time and all eternity, June 1, 2002 in the LDS Houston, Texas Temple. Isaac is the youngest of our six children. Isaac was born with a terminal brain malformation named lissencephaly, meaning smooth brain. His brain stopped developing in the first trimester of pregnancy.

In life, Isaac was unable to talk or walk, but his sweet spirit touched everyone he met. Children were drawn to him and he had many friends. He was fully included in all family adventures, a trip to Belgium to visit his Belgium foreign exchange sister, picnics at the beach, working at St. Mary’s Food bank, camping trips, hiking trips including to the bottom of Bryce Canyon, and many excursions to Sea World and Disneyland. Isaac went home to his Heavenly Father May, 24, 2016. We know he is well and whole and watching over us from the other side of the veil. We know our family will be together forever.

Isaac is dearly loved and missed by his father Vaughn L. Hazen, his mother Jori Anne Richards Hazen, his sisters Lochsley Hazen Allred and Harmony Anne Hazen, his brothers Lehi P. Hazen, Helaman L. Hazen and Mosiah A. Hazen, his brother-in-law Jason Allred, his sister-in-law Rebecca Udall Hazen, his two darling nephews Liam and Flynn Allred and his grandparents on both sides, Vernon and Mary Ellen Hazen, and Ronald and Annette Richards.
