Isaiah "Zay" Velasquez

Isaiah Velasquez, 21, passed away on November 6, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and whose lives will forever be changed by his absence.

Isaiah was an intelligent, quick-witted young man with a wonderful sense of humor. He had a way of making people laugh, often with a clever comeback or an unexpected observation. He could be quiet and reserved around people he didn’t know well, but those fortunate enough to be close to him knew there was so much more beneath the surface. Once he was comfortable, his personality would shine through. He had a sharp mind, a strong exterior, and a sensitive heart that not everyone had the privilege of seeing.

Isaiah’s life held both love and loss. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Kiley Lee. Her absence was a part of his story, and the bond they shared will always remain a part of his family’s memories.

Though Isaiah’s time here was far too short, he leaves behind a family who will forever hold onto the memories, laughter, conversations, and moments that made him who he was. His life mattered, his presence made a difference, and he will always be an irreplaceable part of his family.

Isaiah is survived by his siblings, his sister, Syanna Velasquez (Jose), his brothers, Ricky Velasquez and Stephen Ramos, all of San Antonio, Texas; and his longtime girlfriend, Val Amber Perez, who held a special place in his life and heart.

He was a beloved uncle to Christian “CJ” Ochoa, Joe Anthony Vallejo, and Santos Vallejo.

He is also survived by his great-grandmother, Vonnie Lee of Enterprise, Alabama; his grandparents, Robby and Marsha Lloyd of San Antonio, Texas, and Eddie and Shannah Lee of Enterprise, Alabama; his aunts, Nikki Lee French of Enterprise, Alabama, Jessica Lee Garvic (Joe) of Helotes, Texas, and Grace Lee Hinson of Fort Worth, Texas; his uncle, Tyler Lee of Enterprise, Alabama; and his cousin, Katie French of Enterprise, Alabama.

There are no words that can adequately express the heartbreak of losing Isaiah at such a young age. A life that held so much promise has ended far too soon, leaving behind questions, memories, and a love that will never fade.

Though his time with us was not nearly long enough, he will forever be a son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten.
