Isaiah
Sorry it took so long to find you. I know we weren't in the same unit and I was just some random guy on the same base but you were always nicer to me than anyone else out there since I was just some pog, but your hello or smile when I saw you always brightened my day. Still can't believe you are gone.

Hello,
We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Isaiah Calloway US Army Corporal.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Hi Daddy, It's Alexus, I know it has been a while but I think about you every single day and even though you might have already seen it I have a tattoo of a soldier's memorial on my arm for you. It came out really nice. I miss you a lot, I still go to your grave and clean it really well and put new flowers. I can wait to meet you, we have to catch up with all of the daddy-daughter dances you missed :) I love you so much

Isaiah, I don't know you. But, I know your wife. When I tell you that I have never met a stronger woman. She is determined to keep your legacy alive. The love she feels for you to this day is unmatched by any other. Your kids are beautiful geniuses. I met them an immediately saw how special each an everyone of them are. You should be proud. Alecia showed me during the brief time I've known her is to not to give up. To rise through the darkness and push yourself to the light. When she speaks of you, I see the love shining from her eyes. I wish I had the opportunity to meet you. Because it sounds like you were an awesome guy. From one vet to another, thank you for your service and your sacrifice. May God bless you and continue to keep your family safe.

My father always wears the bangle with his name on it. I never asked him much about it. He served with Cpl. Calloway so I didn't want to delve in to anything too personal and ask him about it. I took it upon myself to look in to it and search his name. From what I hear about him, all that I read, he seems like exactly the type of person my father would have been happy to serve alongside. God rest his soul and I thank him and his family for the ultimate sacrifice that Cpl. Calloway made in the name of God and of the United States.

Thinking of you and your family on this Memorial day. You were an exemplary man. I remember writing the Soldier's euology for you with Eric Boyce in Jacksonville like it was this morning. The world is a better place for having had you in it and the lives you touched enriched. Rest in peace brother.

Missing you always my love. There is never a day go by that I am not thinking about you. Our children misses you everyday. It still hurts them you are gone, but they know that you are working for God now and when God say we can see you then that is when they can see you again. They know you have special duties in heaven and one of your duties is to be a guardian angel for them. Your son wants to be just like you. He says he has your spirit in him and he is strong just like you.Our children watches your videos a lot. They see how silly you was on there. We wish you was here so you can play with them. They miss your laugh. I miss there being an "US". Now it's just "ME". It hurts so bad. I miss you so much. My heart is never the same since you been gone. It still hurts. Even though I know you are doing great, my heart still hurts. My love for you is still so strong. Wow, who knew, a skinny little 10th grader will be part of my soul. When you left, a part of me is dead. You are my heart my love. I miss you so much. I can't wait to see you again my love. I just had to write you this letter, to say in black and white how much I love you. Even though you know since I tell you all the time...lol Missing you always my love, my heart, my soul. You are my everything. Until God say we meet again. What an awesome reunion that will be. I love you baby. My strong, true and brave solider. You are the meaning of bravery, hero, father, husband and a man. Kisses always.

Alecia,
Though you and I never met, I was in Hohenfels when the men were deployed. I only saw your husband once, but what I saw that day was locked in my brain for some reason. We were at the company bbq before the deployment and he was out in the grass playing with Isaiah Jr. It was such a beautiful moment and I am thankful that they were able to share it.
I was so happy today when I found this page and saw you speaking about your salvation, your peace in knowing that he is with our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I praise God that he was saved when the Lord called him home. I praise God that one day I will be able to meet and thank Isaiah for his sacrifice for our nation. I pray that the Lord will continue to mend your heart until all you feel looking back is happiness and peace. Never wonder if he is forgotten, he is not. I know many people in 1/4 who may never find to this page but who also loved him and miss him. I don't think there is a single wife from that deployment who will ever forget either of you. You and your children are in my prayers.

To everyone who keeps my husband memory alive, I want to say thank you. It’s nice to know that a HERO, A Beautiful soul, an awesome husband and father, a best friend and just an awesome beautiful person that he is, is not ever forgotten. I miss my husband very much. What helps me cope with him being with the Lord, is just that, he is with the Lord. There is no better place. A place where you can always be happy and worry free. A place where you can protect your love ones here on earth, A place where you can see all the greats in the bible, like king David and Abraham and most of all GOD and Jesus. Who would want to leave from there? At least there, I know he is happy and even though I want him here, I have come to realize I can not be selfish. I want the best for my husband and the best is for him to be with the Lord. He has endured a lot of heartache and headache on this earth. He has been the best at everything at what he does and he still strives to do better then that. Therefore, with all his hard work and pain he went through, it’s only fair to let him have his time of peace and happiness that he deserves. Also, let him be with his mother he always wanted to be with. We had our loving time with him, now it’s time for God to have his time. Once God calls us home, what a GREAT reunion that will be and I can’t wait to see my husband beautiful soul. Till then let us live life to the best that we can and be full of joy, because now Isaiah, my one true love in finally getting all the rewards he deserve for all the good and joy he brought while here on earth. Remember, our bodies are just a temple, a shell. When God call us home, we are like a turtle that just leave its shell behind. Just remember our soul is what makes our bodies special, our temple. My love, Isaiah, is still very much alive and happy and that alone should bring us so much joy. May everyone have a bless day.

Still miss you Isaiah. A friend of mine has been shipped off to Afghanistan and I just have been in knots hoping for the best! I just know that either way you'll be looking after him and that is the only peace I have inside of me. I cherish the drawings you made in my yearbooks from high school because its all I have from you. However you have taught me sooo much and I thank you for that. You were so amazingly kind and gentle and so sweet. I wish I could have your traits and have been trying since I met ya. Rest in peace. I will write again soon. Alecia, you are in my prayers. I cant imagine how tough it must be. <3

Calloway family,
My name is Keith Burfield I was one of Isaiah's platoon brothers and present on that fateful day. I was a new private without much knowlege and isaiah was always there to help me with whatever I needed and taught me things I still carry with me today. Though I never had the pleasure of meeting you or your children, I feel as if I did as Isaiah always talked about his beautiful family. I pray for your family everynight and never take off my memorial bracelot so I will never forget the sacrafice such a great man made for our country. I have recently lost my grandfather and when I received the news the first thought that crossed my mind was "my buddy Calloway will be there to look after him during his crossing". Just observing your late husband I learned what a great father, husband, and all around person was and I will carry that for the rest of my life. As our old Platoon Sergeant Walker used to say "there's no such thing as a perfect soldier but Calloway is about as close as it gets". I will continue to pray for your family and if there is ANYTHING you ever need please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. God bless you and your family

Alecia!!!
I have been wanting to contact you for a long time now. I was looking for you on facebook, but decided to google Isaiah's name and ran into this website. What a great idea.
Firstly I want to say that I have been praying for you and your children from the time I heard about the tragedy. I do find comfort in knowing that he is at peace, but would much rather have him here with you and the children, and watching them grow. I saw you on the news during the memorial, and balled! You looked as beautiful as always, but so strong. I am so proud of you for how you have handled this situation.
I think one of the things that upsets me the most is that Isaiah is the type of person we need here in this world. He was always so happy, easy-going, ambitious and just peaceful. He was one of those people that just made this world a better place, but he didn't have to work at it, it was just his sweet nature. I also think about your children, I know that everyone tells them what a wonderful person he was, but it saddens me that they won't be able to be graced with his presence. Thank God they have a wonderful mother like you to raise them. You really are an AMAZING woman for many reasons, with a positive attitude and grace. You are the best role model for your children.
Isaiah has been missed. We need more people like him. Thanks to him, we have our freedom in this wonderful country.
You are in my prayers my dear Alecia.
love, Mrs. Bakkar (science teacher, EHS)

Alecia,
I was there at FOB Lane when Isaiah was killed. We all in the ETT team were sadened by the news. We heard the fire fight on the radio and could hear CPT Poole speaking. The SF named the Landing Zone after Isaiah, he was a good man. I had met him just briefly there at FOB Lane. I wish I could do more I would like to put him on We Sereved Together if that would be ok. You can mail me at [email protected]

For those who write in the memory of my husband, I want to thank you. Your prayers are always needed for our family. I still miss my husband very much and it does get hard sometimes but I have to remember he is still very much alive but in a different form. My husband and I believe in Jesus and I realize that when we pass from this body, it’s just a new beginning. I’m happy that he is at peace and at a place where it’s just pure happiness. With me knowing he is ok and I will see him again makes me smile and I can’t ask for nothing more then that. Remember God is of the living not of the dead. Thank you everyone for your heart-felt entrees. That means a lot to my children and I. As we celebrate today and remember our heroes, let us not be sad but happy for their new beginning. I love you all. May God Bless you.

Dear Alecia,
As we celebrate tomorrow I just wanted to honor Isaiah who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I attended the memorial service for Isaiah and I still get chocked up when I remember that day standing outside with those who came to show our support for this amazing young man and for your family.
My son is still serving in the US Army and I am thankful everyday that I still have him in my life. I remember when he first deployed he told me, Mom tell people not to feel sorry for me; I am here because I want to be, I am here because I choose to be and I am here because I believe in what we are doing.
I am sure you have many such memories of your own. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I pray God continues to comfort you and your children.
Isaiah may be gone ~ but he will never be forgotten. He is a true American hero.
God bless you,
Debi

Alecia, I don't know you personally only through what I have read through the Guest Book. I have never been where you are, but I have lost love ones and as difficult as it may be, we have to move on. Go to a friend's house, take the kids to the park, swing in the swings, let the wind blow through your hair, laugh about a joke Isaiah told even though it was not funny, but most of all, move on for Isaiah would want you too. He died loving you and you should live loving him. Love him, yet move on. You will not be dishonoring his memory by living. If you have not done so, let the kids see you laugh, run and play. What I am saying this day, is coming from the heart of someone you may never meet or get to know, but remember God is able to do all things exceedly well. Be Blessed: Bertha Scott and Family

For those who are still responding about my husband and for what he has sacrificed, Thank you. I'm so thankful that he is not forgotten for what he has done for this country. It is still hard everyday but knowing that he is with God and his mother makes it a little easier, but everyday he is missed. My love for him is still as strong as ever if not more. I wish he was still here but God had other plans. For those who read this please pray for my our kids. They still miss their Dad so much. Again thank you for keeping my husband in your mind and hearts. It is a true blessing to still have people who care. Again thankyou.

It has almost been a year now since Isiah died a warriors death - he is still not forgotten by the men who served beside him. So far in my life I have never met a man so dedicated to the defense of our nation than Calloway. He always had a "hooah" book of some type in his pocket and would break it out when we had down time, most other soldiers would joke around or catch a quick wink of sleep. Calloway was what you think of when the phrase "Selfless Service" comes to mind and would have been an awesome Sergeant Major one day. I'd like to think that St. Peter yelled "AT EASE!" and heaven stood at Parade Rest when he walked through the Pearly Gates.
Gone but never forgotten. Party on, "Crunk Juice".

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

I would like to send my condolences to the Calloway family. While it is sad he lost he life he did however, die in a fine regiment, the 4th infantry. The regiment has sacrificed many a life in defense of liberty from places as near as Gettysburg to places as far way as the Philippines, France and now Afghanistan! Spec. Calloway was a brave and good man who now stands beside many that preceeded him in the Hall of Heroes!
God bless his memory!

To Alecia and children:
Isaiah was truly a remarkable, talented and caring friend, husband,father, son and dedicated soldier. I was priviledged to know Isaiah as a friend and fellow JROTC Drill Team member and Commander of the joint Englewood/Wolfson unit. He was the most talented,humorous,caring and kindhearted person that I ever met during my High School experience at Wolfson. Isaiah will always be remembered for his leadership abilities in all endeavors, especially as a Hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our country. You are right, Alecia, when you stated that Isaiah lives on in spirit. He is your guardian angel, looking down and watching over you and the children, from heaven. My Mom and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.May God grant you peace and ease the pain of your loss here on earth. You have so many beautiful memories of Isaiah as a husband and father to cling to. Remember that this is a new beginning for Isaiah as he lives on with Jesus Christ. We love you and will stay in touch. God Bless you and your family.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family. I had the pleasure to know Isaiah during his time at Englewood High School through the Bridge Program. He was an outstanding young man, always very polite and pleasant. He was definately a leader and a good one. I wish there had been more of him and what a great loss to the community.
May God be with you and your family through this troubling time.

From the Tributes it sounds like Isaiah was a very special person and will be missed greatly. I had 2 sons who served in Iraq and I can only imagine the sadness your family is going through. My sincere smypathy and prayers are extended to you and your family in this tragic loss of your love one. I also send my deepest respect to your love one for the sacrifice that he gave in serving his country. May God wrap HIS arms around you and comfort you.

To the family of Isaiah Calloway: You have my deepest sympathy in the lost of a husband, father, brother and son. You have to know that Isaiah has completed the job that God gave him to do. He ran the course with courage and now God said it is time I bring you home. He will be missed for an eternity, but you have to rest assure that he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Be of good cheer. I have never had a brother or son to give his life for our country, but I have lost two brothers and I know I will love and miss them until the Lord calls me home. Be blessed and encourage through the word of God

To the family of Isaiah Calloway: May God give you the strength you need to bear the things that life may think are unbearable. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He makes no mistake because he is too wise. This is the road that Isaiah had to traveled. He completed the task that God had assigned him and now he was ready to go home. I know he would not want any of us to moan because when you are in the present of the Lord there is nothing but joy. I didn't know Isaiah, but I know he was a brother and I have lost two brothers, but not in the war or defending our country, but family is family. So be strong, keep the faith and God will deliver.

To Alicia and the Calloway family, I am so sorry for your lost. I too lost a son and no matter how you lose a child or a loved one it is still a loss. My heart goes out to you and your family There are not enough words hugs or time spent, that will erase the pain of losing a loved one, only time will heal some of the pain that you feel right now. As time goes by the dark cloud will lift and you will be able to to see the sun shine again. Your life will be forever changed, but with the Help of God he will carry you when you can't carry yourself. Lean on him and your family and friends for strength that you will need in the dark days to come. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

To the Calloway Family,
I understand the pain you are going through because our family lost a love one too who was station in Iraq last year. I can truly say that God does not make any mistakes, his will is his will. Isaiah left all of us here on this earth to go meet our Lord and Saviour. There is a reason for every season, hold your heads up with pride and look what at the blessings that the Lord gave each of you. The city of Jacksonville experience something that has not ever happen before in the history of our city, one common goal of seeking peace and determination to allow Isaiah to have a wonderful homegoing ceremony that will be in our hearts and minds forever. I too say thank you to the group in Kansas, because if it was not for their actions, we would not have had to pleasure of witnessing Gods love for his people. "Not hate, but pure love!
Keep yours eyes on the sparrow, lean on the Lord he will help you get through this time of sorrow. He will never let you down....kiss the babies for me, Isaiah and the city of Jacksonville and tell them we love them too! A huge HUG for you Alescia, my sister in Christ.

Mrs. Calloway & Children,
Words can do nothing to ease your pain or your loss. Please know that there are many, many of us here in Jacksonville that know and are deeply in gratitude of the sacrifice that your husband, as well as his family, has made so that we can all feel safer as we go about our daily lives. I did not know your husband, nor do my husband and I know anyone in your Family. We can only grieve with you for the loss of a true american hero. We were outside of your church during the service so that your children may grow up to understand how truly special their father was and how he will be a part of their lives as they grow up to be the fine young adults that we're sure you and he would want. Please remember that as you struggle with the next few months. Surround yourself with people that can uplift you and assist you as you strive to continue on.
Know always that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. When things get tough and you feel you can't cope, turn your troubles over to our loving God as He will always sustain you.
Thank you again and please accept our sincerest condolences and gratitude.
