Issac Alejandro Delgado - July 28, 1997 - May 11, 2024

Departed: 05/11/2024 (El Paso)

Obituary Preview: Philippians 4:13 Issac’s favorite Bible verse: “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.”

Issac Alejandro Delgado was a God-fearing young man, who without a doubt, called out to our Lord and Savior in his time of need. As great a God we have, He took him and spared him of any suffering quickly to be by His side.

Issac, who lived a full 26 years, was welcomed into this life on July 28, 1997, by his proud parents, Elizabeth Ruiz and Jorge Antonio Delgado. He is survived by them, his wife Chelsea Martinez who were together for the past eight years. Those eight years were filled with traveling, concerts, sports events and so much more. They played, loved, and fought like all couples do, but above all else they loved each other till the end!! He also left behind a legacy of five brothers: Derik, Andrew, Gabriel, Nicholas Ruiz and Zet Contreras, not to mention the numerous first cousins who played just as big a part of Issac’s life and brought joy to him. However, Issac was the one they all looked up to and found strength and guidance. He was also his mom’s rock as he and his brothers were growing up. He provided her with encouragement and will to keep going forward and succeeded while helping take care of his younger brothers.

Some of Issac’s most cherished past times were spent outdoors with his father, brothers, and uncles. Whether it was fishing, camping, or shooting, it will never be the same for them. He will forever be remembered and honored each time they go from now on.

Issac was a wonderful grandson to both his grandparents. He would always be there for them without failure, just as they were always there for him. They were willing to drop everything just to be by each other’ and when they just needed to see each other. He had a special place in his heart for each grandparent on both sides. It goes without saying he loved his babies. To be clear….his fur babies. They will forever miss him and wonder where their daddy went, as we all will! God needed another angel and got one of the best!
