Isaiah Illg

Isaiah Albert Illg, 38, of Monrovia, was suddenly called to finish his earthly journey on Monday, October 24, 2022. He was born in Danville, IN on July 31, 1984, to Lawrence “Larry” A. and Jody L. (Tindal) Illg. As a boy Isaiah spent his time kicking up dirt riding four wheelers and dirt bikes and was passionate about Marvel Comics and video games. A proud graduate with the class of 2003 at Monrovia High School, he was also a dedicated member of the football team. After graduation, he was employed with his father’s construction company, Illg Construction, as well as holding positions with Greendell, Sunco Construction, CEVA Logistics and Lowe’s through the years. Musically gifted and highly intelligent, Isaiah was a master on guitar, strumming the strings bringing sweet melodies to life. To say that he was tight with his mom would be an understatement-they served as each other’s rock spending many a day together, she, cooking his favorite, fried green tomatoes and he serving as her handyman and personal gardener. All in all, they were best friends and the ultimate mother son duo, watching movies together and playing cards. Although his little sister Tansie didn’t remain in proximity, Isaiah remained her biggest fan, cheerleader, and confidante, talking nightly or facetiming on the phone hearing stories about his treasured niece and nephew. Gaining the nicknames Bubber and Uncle Izzy, Isaiah was continuously thoughtful, strong, and a true jokester. He closed his big blue eyes for the last time, leaving this world all too soon and leaving family and friends forever devastated by his absence. Isaiah was preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Allen Illg, and Aunt Leah “Trudy” Carter. He leaves behind his beloved mother, Jody Lynn Illg; sister, Tansie Rose McClure (James); niece and nephew, Emi and Barrett; aunts and uncles, Albert Illg (Mary) of Monrovia, Patty Greene (Carl), Sandy Young, Willie Young, Kitty Butrum (Carl), and Jim Carter, along with a host of extended family and friends. Funeral and Cremation Arrangements are entrusted to Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel, in Monrovia. Friends and family are invited for a Memorial Gathering on Saturday, October 29, 2022, from 3:00 to 6:00pm, at the West Union Friends Church, 2038 W. SR 42, Mooresville, IN 46158, with a Celebration of Life Service beginning promptly at 6:00pm.
