Ismael lived a full life, often enjoying the nightlife, partying and bartending where his heart lay in South Beach Miami with the ONYX family, tanning and listening to music at the beach. Ismael was a people’s person, an active member of his community and always helped those in need. He centered his life on bettering the community in any way he could. He stood up for equal rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, fought for people of color, Mexican rights, teacher rights, and was very vocal about what he believed in. He was extremely generous with those around him, and was a very supportive friend, brother, and uncle. Ismael was the life of the party, and cared for his friends, always assigning roles when they went out. He provided the best babysitting services to his nieces who will forever hold onto his humor, and carry him and those memories engraved in their hearts forever. Ismael will be remembered for the amazing son and brother, the beautiful human being he was and the light that he carried throughout every room. May he rest in the sweetest, most deserving peace.
