Charles Thomas "Tom" Isaacs

Charles Thomas Isaacs (Tom), 80, peacefully transitioned on December 23, 2024, in Louisville, KY. He was born on October 8, 1944, to Thomas and Lavonne Isaacs (nee' McDonald). He graduated from Atherton High School and continued his academic and athletic pursuits at Centre College where he stared in both track and football.
After graduation Tom proudly and courageously entered and served in the United States Marine Corp as a 1st Lieutenant Infantry Officer. He dedicated seven years, five of which he was actively deployed, to military service during the Vietnam War. He served with distinction and was awarded several medals including the Purple Heart.
Tom became well known in his local community, Prospect, as a certified Reflexologist for over thirty years. He developed the website, "LivingpHure" exemplifying his vision to provide health, well-being, and ionized water nutrition. He shared his talents with both children and adults performing Crystal Bowl Meditation Services. Spiritually, great comfort was found in nature and he earned his ministry in order to officiate his friend's marriage. His expertise, compassion, and healing hands earned him a reputation among clients and colleagues. He will be greatly missed and thankful to all those he touched, supported, and comforted.
Tom enjoyed the outdoors and visits to Waynesville, NC. He completed several marathons and was an avid bicyclist. He worked early on fishing boats in the Florida Keys and Maine. His passion for football led him to the Louisville Rugby Club as one of the eldest members to travel and compete against Ireland's National Team. In addition to his parents, Tom was predeceased by his sister, Candy Saunders, (Bill) and nephew, Jason Isaacs.
