He was 19 years old. Isaac, whose name means laughter, was the first of the 6th generation born to his dad’s maternal side of the family. He brought great joy to the Hatton and Dise families the day he entered the world. He was a bouncy, energetic baby boy, whose smile could light up a football stadium. Isaac was so happy once when he traveled with his family to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina to witness his cousin, Isaiah Maddox, graduate from the Marine Corps Boot Camp. He told his mom-mom Martina that “This was my best vacation ever!” He deeply loved his family and was raised in Laurel by his mom-mom, Colleen Yvette Dobson, and his pop-pop, the late David Donnell Dobson. Isaac was educated in the Laurel School District. He was an outstanding athlete, and he excelled in both football and basketball. His true love was football, beginning when he was a young boy playing Pop Warner. He later played on the varsity Laurel Bulldogs football team and assisted them in winning the Lions Club Trophy, beating the Delmar Wildcats. Isaac was a devoted fan of the Washington Redskins football team and the Golden State Warriors NBA team. He received his early Christian education at Rehoboth Temple of Praise in Laurel, Delaware, under the leadership of Bishop Leon Wilson. In his youth, he attended Sunday school and played the bongo during the service, receiving his first set of bongos from his great grandmother, Elder Martina DuPont. Isaac held several jobs over the years, working in the bakery at Tailbangers in Millsboro, Delaware, and most recently at Amick Farms in Hurlock, Maryland. Isaac celebrated his Native American heritage by dancing in his full Native American Regalia and participating in the annual Pow Wow held in Millsboro, Delaware. He was a very loyal person. He was passionate and dedicated to his family and friends.
