Our beloved Ephraim passed away on May 10, 2024, at the age of 44. Ephraim Taylor Elwood Isaacs was born on November 11, 1979, to Randy and Janice Isaacs in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He lived a life full of love and adventure!
Ephraim’s family was his passion. He loved his wife and kids more than anything and cherished time spent with them. To quote from his journal, “I love these nights working in the garage. Music, beer, motorcycles, kids, and bonus when mamma comes to hang out.” Ephraim loved the outdoors, camping, fishing, and riding his motorcycles. He was devoted to his extended family and his motorcycle club, the Valiants.
Ephraim ran a successful handyman business in Northern Colorado, The Quality Handyman, and took great pride in his work and customer relations. His early career took him to the oilfields in Northern Colorado. He was great at his job, devoted to safety, and built a community of friends whom he called “brothers.”
Ephraim’s passing has left a cavernous hole in the hearts of many. He left behind a legacy of love, humor, and loyalty. Ephraim was goofy, intelligent, resourceful, funny, and above all, tender-hearted and loving.
Ephraim is survived by his wife, Tori Isaacs; 4 children: D’Angelo Green, Taylor Isaacs, Haley Bonde, and Corben Isaacs; granddaughter, Payslee Johnson; father and stepmother, Randall and Marilyn Isaacs; stepfather and stepmother, Douglas and Valerie Kosley; brothers: Eric Robinson (Rose Robinson) and Alex Kosley (Ashley Kosley); sisters: Adrienne Isaacs (Rick Hadley), Abby O’Halloran (Brian O’Halloran), Ashley Isaacs, and Josey Blincoe (Vaughan Blincoe); grandmother, Shar McClure; and countless nieces and nephews. Ephraim was preceded in death by his mother, Janice Kosley; grandmother, Norma Magruder; grandparents, Bruce and Adele Isaacs; and grandfather, Jerry Kosley.
We will have a celebration to honor Ephraim’s life this summer.
