Roy Alfred Isaacson

Roy Alfred Isaacson, 92, a resident of Avon Park, Florida, passed away at home on February 17, 2025 with family by his side.

Roy was born on January 29, 1933, in South Range, MI, son of the late Edward and Helga (Wayrynen) Isaacson. Roy was raised in South Range and graduated from Painesdale High School, class of 1950.

Surviving are: his wife, Erma (Maki), children Gail (Michael) Moharter of Fort Myers, Florida, Gary (Chris) Isaacson of Flint, Michigan; sister Peggy Ann Letvenow, 4 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren who will forever hold his memory close to their hearts.

Roy was a man of many talents and passions. He served his country proudly in the United States Navy, where he gained invaluable experiences. After his military service, Roy pursued a degree in Business Administration from Finlandia University and relocated to the Detroit area.  He enjoyed a long and engaging career within several divisions of General Motors Corporation, including Argonaut Realty and Chevrolet Finance.

Roy was a devoted family man, married to his sweetheart, Erma, for 68 years. Together, they built a loving home and raised two wonderful children: Gail, and Gary. Roy's greatest joy was spending time with his family, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories.

Roy was a faithful member of Union Church of Avon Park participating in the Jolly Gents and Serendipity Bible Study group.  Roy was also an active member of his community, volunteering time with Habitat For Humanity, and Hands for Homeless. His kindness, generosity, and warm spirit touched the lives of many, and his legacy will live on through the countless lives he impacted.

Roy enjoyed fishing, the local Palm Diner, cookies, and all manner of sporting activities.  He especially loved ice hockey and golf, and closely followed the local Florida teams.

Roy's family and friends will remember him as a gentle soul with a heart of gold, a man who always put others first and approached life with unwavering positivity and humor. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will continue to inspire and guide us.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Roy's memory, to Hands for Homeless, Avon Park, Florida.

Rest in peace, dear Roy, you will be deeply missed and forever loved.
