I met Isaac in Australia on tour. I never called him FATMAN SCOOP because he showed me his true heart as a person. We spoke every day on since 2017. I didn't realize his fame because again he was a true big teddy bear who loved the stage. You will truly be missed my friend. I love you forever

It is so sad to lose someone special, they be with us always, forever and i never heard the name Fatman that he took the stage at 8pm at the Hamden Center Town Park and I heard on the News 8 that he collapse during the performance at 8:30pm think they had a Medical Person in the audience when it happened.
