Judy Perry

October 3, 2012

I am still so deeply saddened by this news. I just saw Isaac the Friday afternoon before when I was picking up a chicken burrito to go. There was someone in the restaurant buying shots of Don Pilar for everyone and one was brought to Isaac but he said no as he was busy writing up the beautifully artistic specials board with his colorful markers. it was then offered to me and I said sure but only a sip and was delighted at how wonderfully smooth it was. Isaac and I continued to talk about the neighbor next door and how one day being able to purchase the building to provide ample parking for all his customers. My burrito was up, I paid and bid him farewell. My sincerest condolences go to his family, friends and all of the people and communities he blessed with his graciousness. You will be forever missed Isaac. RIP. Judy Perry - Rockaway Beach.

Pedro Fernandez

Like Elvis, another king, "King Isaac" left us way too soon. A genius in business and as a chef, Isaac worked to help and make people happy.

Some people need "fiction" in their eulogy, pumping them up, but not the "King of Don Picos." A "great man" has left the building! Hasta luego mi gran amigo!

Isaac had a big joyous welcoming personality that greeted all who walked in the door at Don Pico's. From time to time I would go to Don Pico's over the years to visit and eat. I taught his sister's children in preschool many years ago. The Mejia family is a wonderful family. What a huge loss. Prayers and hugs to you all. Take care.

Dear Don Mejia, Dona Linda, Martha, Angela, Annabell, Florencia, Lucy, and Francesca

I am saddened by the lost of your son, brother, husband, and father. Isaac Martin truly did something with the he shared with us. His generosity and humanity was welcomed by all he knew him. I knew as a young kid playing in the vacant lot on Pennsylvania Street next your house. Isaac would play with the big kids unafraid he would make us listen to what he had to say. He grew up, found his voice and his words painted pictures of poetry and pleasant time. I remember Isaac in the sun light of the summer sun, and the green hew of the licorice jungles of Potrero Hill.

I will miss you, Isaac

My wife Judi and I send our heartfelt condolences to all members of Isaac's extended family; we just learned of his tragic passing a few minutes ago from his sister Martha! Although we didn't know him personally, from everything I've read, he had to be one fantastic father, husband, brother, son, friend and benefactor! All of you will be in our prayers and he's probably already been invited to enter St. Peter's gate!

To the Mejia Family,Lucy and Franchesca

May the wonderful memories of Isaac ease the pain of his passing. I knew Isaac for more than 25 years and he was truly a man with a great heart and soul. Isaac was a man with a unique gift to make us laugh at this unpredictable phenomenon called life.
His "gusto" for life was immense and uplifting.

We will pray for him and his next journey.

Dear family of Isaac Mejia. My deepest condolences. I have known Isaac since he first came to SFSU just after he got out of the Marines. OOOhh he was so charming and friendly he soon had a bevy of followers at the University. He began as my student, my advisee, my mentee, then my friend, then friend of the family. He was dearly loved and appreciated by all my family. We have all suffered a great loss. Our love and best wishes and prayers go out to all who are grieving for Isaac with us.

I was not fortunate to know Isaac but as many people, I was fortunate to meet some of his sisters. They are great people and I am sure so was Isaac. I wish God continue to guide The Mejia Family and make them strong to go through this very sad time.

Tina Canepa

I met Isaac a few years ago at the restaurant where my friend use to sing. I was told about Don Pico's from my sister Michele, who use to teach Francesca at the Carey School. What a delightful man he was as was his darling sister who worked there. I had such fun at the restaurant. My love and sympathy goes out to His wife and daughter and siblings and parents. What a great loss this is. May he rest in peace and may his family find the courage to go on and remember him with love. God Bless, Tina

I am truly saddened to come across this obituary. Issac, may you be at peace and I know you are with God. Your spirit will always remain and we will never forget the kindness that you shared with others. You always made us feel like family and we will miss you.


Somewhere beyond the sunsets end
The skies are bright and fair
No shadows dim, no darkness falls
The land is peaceful there

Someone with the power to heal
To guide and understand
Is waiting there to claim our fears
And take us by the hand

So when a dear one heeds the call
Our hearts should be at rest
For there beyond the rainbow end
A loving God knows best


God bless and god speed.

What do you say when someone so young is taken too soon? I met you, Isaac, through the Anguiano family. You were always a great guy and grew into a great man. At my father-in-laws funeral you stood up and spoke about him and it truly touched our families heart. When my own father died & we needed someone to cater his funeral, you stepped in and saved the day! I thank you.
To Linda & Isaac, Sr., I am so sorry for your loss. I hope I never have to feel the pain of burying a child. You raised a fine young man and thank you for sharing him with all of us.
To his wife & daughter, who I never got to meet, please know he may be gone but never forgotten by those whose lives he touched unselfishly. He was like a brother to my husband and his siblings.
Martha, Chata, Bebe, & Anabelle. Please accept my condolences on the loss of your only brother. He loved you all so much - it was obvious. Please keep all the good memories in your heart & don't hesitate to share them with anyone who will listen. I will listen.

I hardly knew you, but my daughter, Helen, and her family spoke so highly of you. I admired you from afar, and am saddened by your sudden passing. You always came to our table to greet us with your beautiful and loving smile. I know what a kind, gentle and loyal friend you were to my family. You were generous with your knowledge of your business and taught Gabe how to be the best employee he could be. I see Maxx driving your old Mercedes-Benz station-wagon: the perfect car for a kid with a cello to tote around. You treated staff and clients like family. You will definitly be missed throughout the area. There will always be a big unfilled void in San Mateo County. May your family find comfort in all their memories of you. And may peace and love in their hearts prevail so they may continue to serve the community a-la-Isaac Mejia. Food and libations just got better up there with you at the helm. Rest in peace.

I had a wonderful conversation with Isaac when he last hosted the Lions PCL dinner about being a chef. My daughter had just graduated and Isaac had many ideas for her to try. Isaac you were a generous, and kind person and I'm glad we meet. RIP

Dear Lucy and Family, We remember him as a great dancer and cook. Moving you around on the dance floor and you both smiling. He is dancing with our beloved father in heaven, watching over his bride and daughter. Kelly Flores-Nixon and Kurtis Nixon

Dear Mejia family, I am terribly saddened by your loss of Isaac. I did not know him, but most of the rest of the family has been taking care of me for years in San Carlos. Everything written about him suggested he was just as caring as the Mejia Medical team. My thoughts are with you, as I know what it feels like to lose a family member unexpectedly. Please give it time and you may someday take some measure of comfort in that he always lives on in your memories of him and how he has affected your lives as son or brother or husband. My deepest sympathies.
