We are heartbroken at the passing of David Isom, a member of Christ’s Haven’s Board of Directors. David was a wonderful leader for our organization and advocate for the youth we care for. We hold his family close to our hearts and in our prayers. He will be missed.
A few words of reflection about David from Christ’s Haven CEO, Cassie McQuitty:
“There are some people who come into your life and immediately make a mark. David Isom was one of those people for me. From the moment I met David, I knew there was something different about him. I wasn’t sure what, but I knew it was special.
As I got to know him as a board member, a friend, and a mentor, I saw him to be humble and kind. A still waters run deep kind of person. He was funnier than I thought he would be and had a habit of responding to emails with memes. One of the things I respected so much about David was his ability to recognize the strengths of those around him. He became an incredible cheerleader of mine, of our staff, and of every child we care for at Christ’s Haven. He was thoughtful about every decision he was making as a board member and wanted, more than anything, to serve our kids well. He was entrenched in our mission and believed in our values to provide normalcy, dignity and hope.
Knowing David and having him serve on the Christ’s Haven Board of Directors made me a better leader and Christ’s Haven a better organization. David will be incredibly missed.”
