Obituary
It is with heavy hearts we announce that our dear Isaiah has gone home. Isaiah was born on March 27, 1998 to proud parents Tracy Blackrider and Warren Bearchief.
Isaiah was an excellent sportsman who excelled in hockey and rodeo. He made it to Triple A hockey and was scouted by teams in BC and Lac Labiche. He also played for Strathmore Tiger Timberlands. Isaiahs hockey highlights include a 15 nothing win where Isaiah scored all the goals. Another highlight was when he scored 7 hat tricks, which brought his team to provincials, where they won the championship. Rodeo was another great time for Isaiah. He started with his sheep riding, which led to the wild pony races, where they represented Siksika in the stampede, he later went into Youth Bullriding, where he won the Youth Bullriding series. Isaiah will be remembered for his love and care he had for his sisters, as well as his mom and dad.
Isaiah leaves behind his mother Tracy (Chris), Warren (Christine), sisters Maressa and Kaitlyn. Grandparents Robert and Gwendora Bearchief, aunties Nicole (Darren), Jill, Katie, & Denise, Uncles Byron, Quinn, & Clayton, and great aunt Isabelle Olivier.
