Isaac Otieno

My dear brother, you left a void that cannot be filled. We pray for you to keep looking out for Jacob and Alyssa and all your loved ones you left behind. Rest well big brother.

My dear Brother, may you rest in peace with the knowledge that you will never be forgotten. Your love still guides us in our lives.

My older brother and mentor you are missed everyday because I drive by Lakewood Cemetery everyday on my way to work. You remain a symbol of what is good in people.

Isaac my brother you have been gone for 10 years, but you are never out of our thoughts, I miss your conversation and wisdom. God grant you eternal peace and rest.

All of us here at Borton Volvo were sad to hear about Isaac. We will all miss seeing him in our store he was part of our family. I spoke with Kjell Bergh last evening and he was very sorry that he was unable to be here for the service. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

From the Shalita Family, our deepest sympathy and condolences to Mzee Otieno's Family and life partner Colleen. Isaac was not one to dwell on his problems, always ready to assist those with problems. He was the mentor of our African community, the one who helped those of us that came to settle in the twin cities from every corner of Africa. We have lost a pioneer of the twin cities african community and for whom we owe so much. May you rest in peace.
