Izeyah was born in Boise on Oct. 15, 1995 to Tera Yenter-Jones and Derrick Trask. He was the oldest of four children. He attended Maranatha Christian Preschool, followed by Spalding Elementary, where he was a fourth grader this year. Izeyah enjoyed so many different things but attending church, going to school, playing basketball and football, participating in Cub Scouts, telling silly jokes, rapping, watching movies, playing video games, fishing and camping, traveling, getting together with family and friends, listening to rap and hip-hop music, helping his mom take care of his little brothers and sister, singing in the Spalding Singsations choir, and showing off his hip-hop dance skills were among his favorites. He also loved to collect things including his treasured pressed coins, state quarters, Disney trading pins, pocketknives, and hats. After seeing Festival of the Lion King, a live Broadway musical show during his last trip to Disneyworld in January of 2005, Izeyah decided to adopt Timon and Pumbaa´s "Hakuna Matata" motto, meaning "no worries, for the rest of your daysÉ" and that is exactly how he lived each and every day. He was a friend to everyone that he came into contact with and he constantly went out of his way to make people smile. His kind and gentle charisma, as well as his selfless spirit touched thousands of lives and he will be dearly missed. Izeyah had many ambitions which included playing Optimist football in the upcoming season, joining the St. Paul Gospel youth choir, attending middle school at Lewis and Clark and high school at Mountain View, going on to Boise State University, getting married to Jadelyn and then taking over her dad Mike´s towing business, having two children, living in a mansion, working for his Grandpa Rob, and having lots of dogs. He also had plans of becoming an artist and a famous chefÉ.but God obviously had even bigger plans for him. Izeyah is survived by his mother, Tera Yenter-Jones of Boise; his father, Derrick Trask and step-mother Becky Trask of Boise; his brothers and sister, Davion Trask, Daeshon Trask, and twins that he referred to as the "babies", Alijah and Aaliyah Jones, all of Boise; his great-grandparents, Warren and Juanita Yenter of Boise; his grandparents, James and Polly Kasson of Nampa, his grandparents, Larry and Betty Hawkins of Meridian; his granddad, Charles Trask of Palmdale, Calif.; his nanny, Jacqueline Trask of Boise; his grandma, Vickie Martell of Boise; and his grandparents, Robert and Mary Fairweather of Bellevue, Wash.
