David Isleib

David Arthur Isleib, 60, of Enfield CT passed away peacefully on December 26, 2021 from complications related to lung cancer. Dave was a private person. He did not want to burden others nor cause them concern over an extended period of time, so his diagnosis was shared only with immediate family members and a few friends. He withstood the disease and the side effects of the treatments always trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and resting in God's good and perfect plan for his life. Dave was born in Manchester CT, living most of his life in New England. He was a faithful husband, loving father, proud Papa, generous neighbor, and a man of God. He was skilled at anything he determined to do. Dave was a veteran, serving proudly and honorably in the US Army as a machinist. He worked as a machinist at Pratt and Whitney, owned Mountain City Cycle bicycle shop in Tolland and was a licensed fire sprinkler fitter. He was known for his steadfast love and care for his family, friends, and neighbors, willing to help anyone as had need. David will be dearly missed and always remembered, but we know he is already in God's presence, where there is fullness of joy and pleasures for evermore. He is predeceased by his mother, Gail Benton Isleib. David is survived by his beloved wife Karen Isleib, his daughter Jessica Hastillo and her husband Allan of Ellington CT, his son Douglas Isleib and his wife Carly of Chesapeake VA, his father Douglas Isleib of Gilmanton Ironworks NH, his sister Kristy McAvoy and her husband Joe of Enfield CT, his sister Deanne Carter and her husband Michael Schutt of Tolland CT, his grandsons Allan Joseph Hastillo and Edward David Hastillo, as well as his nieces and many others he considered family.
