Isaac Price Magoun
We lost our beloved boy on Tuesday, March 23, 2006. Isaac Price Magoun, 10, bravely battled a brain tumor for two years. His courageous spirit and sense of humor was an inspiration to all who knew him. Isaac was bright, clever, funny and had a pure heart. He was a loving soul and could express his affection easily. He was an inventor, a mathematician, a scientist, a swimmer, an optimist, a magician, a scout, a joker, a yu-gi-oh duelist, a fan of Japanese anime and a good friend. To know him was to love him. We are crushed that his life was so short and he leaves behind his heart-broken parents, Amy Price and George F. Magoun. He is also survived by his loving Tata and Dee; grandparents, Jack & Patricia Price and other Tata and Granny Bee, George and Betty Magoun. He also leaves behind aunts and uncles, Jack & Pam Price, Bill & Carole Price and Read & Melinda Magoun; cousins, Emily Price and Jack Morgan Price. There are also many great aunts, uncles and second cousins to make for big, loud and fun family gatherings - and Isaac loved a party. He will also be missed by his best friends, Daniel Blair and Michael Kenny. Having grown up in the Tallmadge United Methodist Church, he was lifted up and supported by Pastor Gary and friends there during his surgeries and treatments at Akron Children's and St. Jude's Hospitals. Our heartfelt thanks to them and to Mrs. Prochnow and all at Munroe Elementary School, also the staff of Akron Public Library, Children's Palliative Care and Anna of the Hospice of Western Reserve. Isaac touched many lives on his journey and we are all better people for having known him.
And when his vacant place I see
My heart will bound with joy that he
was mine for so long - my fair young son -
And cheer for him whose work is done.
