Isaac Stecker
March 13, 2013
Isaac Francis Stecker was born November 16, 2012, in Des Moines, the son of Mark and Amanda (Weiland) Stecker. He passed away March 13, 2013, and is now cradled in the arms of Jesus.
Although he was here on earth for such a short period of time, he truly touched many lives with his beautiful smile, blue eyes, and his crazy brown hair.
In addition to his parents, left to cherish his precious memory are his grandparents, Cheryl and Darrell Weiland, Mike and Becky Stecker and Deb and Cory Helphrey; great-grandparents, Donna and Larry Walter, Jacky Stecker, Don and JoEllen Howard, Larry Helphrey, and Dick Schall; aunts and uncles, Chad (Holly), B.J. (Kelly), Andy, Jamie (Matt), Ali, Jessi, and Kelli; cousins, Zoey, Zack, Greta, Ethan, and Sammy; other loving relatives; and many special friends. He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Stan Stecker, Roland and Ivanelle Weiland, Pat Schall, and Barb Helphrey.
The family will greet friends from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Sunday, March 17, 2013, at St. Anthony Catholic Church, 15 Indianola Road in Des Moines, where a vigil will be held at 6 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m., Monday, March 18, 2013, at the church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family in loving memory of Isaac.

It greatly saddens me to see such a precious baby boy leave this world much too soon! But our faith in God helps us cope with the intense pain deep inside at a time like this. Sounds like your little angel touched so many lives in just a short amount of time. And please be at peace knowing that you will be with him again someday forever in a much better world. On behalf of my family, my sincere condolences to all of you and I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time in your lives. Isaac is alive and well in Heaven and will never suffer again, Yes, Heaven indeed has its newest precious angel.

Very sorry to read about the loss of your son. I live in Asbury, (Dubuque) IA. and I do not know you but wanted you to know I said a prayer for you. I lost my son Preston Spahn when he was 4 months old.
May you find some type of peace in your heavy heart.
