Isiah Johnson '05,
Remembered by HM Friends
Horace Mann School classmates of Isiah Johnson '05 gathered reflections about their friend following news of his death in March 2016.
Some are excerpted here. From: Libby Copeland-Halperin: I was so
sorry to hear about the tragic and untimely passing of my old friend
Isiah ... I have such fond memories of playing sports (he was such a
talented athlete, even from a young age. I remember his dominating the "Pacer" challenge in gym class every year!) and video games
with Isiah, or having arm-wrestling matches when we were little. One
memory that always makes me smile is of a playdate at my house playing
basketball in my room and singing "Baby Beluga" ... laughing hysterically
together the whole time. Isiah had such a wonderful positive energy
and embraced everyone around him. My thoughts are with his family
during this difficult time. Helen Lee: Isiah was quick with his wit, runs,
and to make friends. I was lucky to live near him and remember all of
our long commutes to school and home. Those rides could be thoughtful
moments talking about school, family, and life, or pranks of the highest
