With deep love and gratitude for his life, we remember Isaac Henry Mintz, who passed away on September 30, 2025, at the age of 23.
Isaac lived with an extraordinary spirit — a seeker of truth, meaning, and connection. Born on December 4, 2001, he grew into a young man whose light touched countless lives. He was everyone’s best friend, a soul brother to many, and a source of comfort and inspiration wherever he went.
Isaac was known for his sincerity and wisdom well beyond his years. He disliked small talk and instead longed for conversations about life’s deepest questions, about God, love, and the search for truth. He lived with fearless authenticity, gratitude, and a radiant openness that made people feel truly seen.
A graduate of the University of Michigan in Political Science, Isaac pursued his own path with courage and independence. He was an adventurer, a photographer with an eye for hidden beauty, a dancer who lived with joy, and a healer whose presence brought peace. His travels took him across the world, where he formed soul-deep connections and captured both people and landscapes through the lens of his beloved camera.
Isaac loved nature, meditation, yoga, music, and above all, his family. He cherished Shabbat dinners, hiking, and meaningful time with his sister Eden, whom he adored, often surprising her with a rose when he visited. His gratitude was legendary — expressed in countless thank-you notes, conversations, and the way he moved through life.
In recent years, Isaac began dedicating himself to the healing arts, offering hope and safety to friends and strangers alike. His gift was not only in what he did, but in how he made people feel — that they mattered, that they were loved, that they were never alone.
Isaac’s spirit continues to live on through the Dharma Gates: Isaac Mintz Retreat Fund, which supports young people seeking the spiritual growth and meditation practice that meant so much to him.
He is survived by his loving parents Michelle and Eric Mintz, his beloved sister Eden, his grandparents Myra and Dennis Potocsky, Gail Mintz and Sidney Mintz, extended family, and countless friends around the world who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.
Isaac’s final blessing to us all was:
“May all beings be liberated and free.”
May his soul rise with peace, and may his light continue to guide us.
