It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Isaiah Jacob Grimins, who departed this world far too soon on Friday, June 19, 2026, at the age of 16. Isaiah was surrounded by the love of his family in Neenah, Wisconsin, his cherished home.
Born on an autumn Wednesday, November 4, 2009, Isaiah was a beacon of light and joy to all who knew him. He was a beloved son, brother, and friend, whose contagious laughter and zest for life left an indelible mark on everyone around him.
Isaiah is lovingly survived by his devoted parents, Jeremy Grimins and Marie Yelvington. He was the adored brother to Josiah Grimins, Jaiden Grimins, Mykiya Grimins, Olivia Grimins, Abrianna Grimins, Nolan Grimins, Isabella Grimins, Zella Yelvington, and Zara Seal. He is further survived by his cousins, Josh Ney, Jessica Meurer, Amber Hunter, Amari Coenen, Kalvin Coenen, Theodore Coenen, Marcus Richmond and Kaylee Ragsdale; grandparents, Judy Rife and Donna Yelvington; uncles, JR Yelvington and Benjamin Coenen; aunts, Kristen Coenen and Cari Yelvington; friend of family, Ellyna Miller; as well as many additional family members and friends. Each of them held a special place in Isaiah's heart, and he in theirs.
Isaiah was a lively young man who found immense joy in sports and treasured the time he spent with his family. His enthusiasm and passion, whether on the field or simply amongst his loved ones, were inspiring and will be deeply missed.
In remembrance of Isaiah, and in recognition of the impact he had during his brief but meaningful life, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to a memorial that will be established in his honor.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all who have reached out with love and support during this difficult time.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Fox Cities Funeral and Cremation. A special thank you to Bergstrom, Appleton West faculty staff, the Neenah Fire Department and the owner and staff at Cannova’s.
Isaiah’s spirit will forever live on in the hearts of his family and friends. While he may have left this earth, his legacy of love and warmth will endure in all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rest in peace, dear Isaiah. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
