Isaac Gabriel Benjamin, 5, of Pownal, passed from this life to the next unexpected on Sunday, Nov. 14, 2010, as a result of an accident. A tree accidently fell on him where he was playing in his grandfather's yard
He was born on Oct. 2, 2005, in Catania, Italy, the son of Jennifer (Gowen) and Shawn Benjamin. He had been attending Children's Odyssey in Portland for the past two years.
Isaac was a normal yet exceptional youngster who had a zest for life and enjoyed being a boy. Happy, trusting, gentle, outgoing, smiling are words that readily describe Isaac. He had a big heart to fit his big personality and easily introduced himself to anyone within range.
He will be remembered for his Wii talent, his wit - even at age 5, being a great dancer, adding drama when needed, having an inquisitive nature, paying attention to details and 'making a deal.' Isaac had very high empathy and compassion for those in distress and proved that to his mother and father any number of times with his kind heart and kind eye.Isaac is survived by his parents, Jennifer and Shawn of Pownal; his sister and brother, Shawna and Jacob of Pownal; his grandmother, Dianne Thompson of Pownal, his grandfather, Chris Gowen of Pownal, his grandmother, Norma Benjamin of Maryland; his great-grandparents, Judy and Clint Norton of Florida; special uncles, Parker Chipman and Zach Chipman, Auntie 'Cole'; his 'adorable' new cousin, Colby; and a 'slew' of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Isaac was predeceased by his great-grandfather, Merle Thompson, and his great-grandmother, Maxine MorganBurial will follow in Burr Cemetery in Freeport.
