Isaiah Michael Balderas, 20, of Waukesha, WI passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 6, 2024, in Milwaukee, WI.
Isaiah was born on March 1, 2004, in Milwaukee, the son of Michael and Alicia Balderas. He grew up in the Waukesha area and after completing his schooling began working as an apprentice carpenter for CG Schmidt Construction. Isaiah took pride in his work, was skilled with his hands and had a passion for his trade. Isaiah was funny, playful, kind, and wise beyond his years. He had a strong faith in Jesus and lived his faith by caring for and fiercely loving those around him. He will be remembered for his sweet yet firm disposition. Isaiah had many interests during his life and packed a lot into his twenty years on this earth. He loved anything that had a motor, whether it was cars, motorcycles, ATV’s, boats, or any other motorized vehicle, Isaiah was interested in all of it. He also enjoyed the outdoors, especially being outside fishing. Isaiah loved to wrestle, on the mat and especially at home with his brothers, Noah, and Elijah. His favorite “roomie” when it was time to rest his head, was his dog Bella. He was an absolute joy to his family and friends. Isaiah will be profoundly missed, but forever remembered by those he leaves behind.
He is survived by his loving parents, Michael and Alicia Balderas of Waukesha; his two brothers, Noah and Elijah Balderas; and his grandparents, Carlos Balderas of Genesee Depot, Frank and Delila DuBois of Waterford, Kathy Mittelsteadt of Green Bay, and Jonathan and Deb Cermele of Delafield. He is also survived by a number of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a multitude of friends.
In lieu of flowers, Memorials in Isaiah’s name may be made to his family.
