Interstate Family,
It is with extremely heavy hearts that we inform you of a tragic loss of one of our own. Yesterday evening around 5:45 p.m., Isaac Parks’ life was taken from him.
We are all in total shock and our hearts our broken. Please lift up in prayer Isaac’s wife Ashton who is also recovering. Isaac and Ashton have a 7-year-old son named Trace. For those of you who had the privilege to get to know Isaac a little bit, you would know that his little boy is his world.

As of this morning, we can confirm that Ashton is recovering well and is expected to go home this afternoon. This tragedy is beyond unexpected. We know there are hardly words to say.
Our hearts go out to each and every one of Isaac’s close friends and coworkers in the field. Isaac was an incredible plumber and had an extremely bright future ahead of him. Please know that we are here to support all of you as you mourn and try to make sense of this tragedy.

There has been a Go Fund Me page created for Isaac’s wife Ashton. If you feel led to give, you can do so by visiting the page.
We love each and every one of you more than you know. Please pray for Ashton and Trace and the Parks/Hornsby families. We will keep you informed if we find of ways in addition to prayer that you can help this family.
Psalm 34:18 | The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 147:3 | He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
In Christ with sincere hearts,
IMC Management
When I got the news yesterday, I was at a total loss for words. We love each of you so much. My hearts are with you guys who got to work with Isaac day in and day out. Please call or text me if you know of ways we can help. We will keep you all updated on arrangements. I’m sure it will be a little bit. My heart is broken. Love you guys so much
Utter shock doesn’t seem to convey enough. I’ve worked with Isaac for many years and on various projects. He always had a positive attitude and approached his work as a craftsman. Always driven to succeed and better himself in the trade.
What a senseless tragedy that took him away from his wife, child and Interstate family.
We will miss him!
Praying for the Parks and IMC families. Thankful my husband is a part of that team and family. Seeing you all really around those in need is so special. Thanks for being so much more than a j-o-b.
