Theodore Matthias Isales was born at 21 weeks and 4 days on December 4, 2022, at 1:13am. He weighed 1lb 1.1oz and was 11.2inches long. Theo spent his time on Earth in the arms of his loving parents before he entered into eternal rest on top of his Mommy’s beating heart at 3:18am. He was able to receive his baptism shortly after birth while in the arms of his Daddy. He was told “I love you” countless times, given many kisses, held hands with his parents, and felt warmth through skin-to-skin time before he peacefully entered Heaven. His time on Earth was not nearly enough and he will forever be loved and missed.
As Theo’s parents, we often talked about what his future would look like. We envisioned him learning to crawl, walk, and then balance on a Stryder bike before becoming a future little sender on the mountain bike trails with his Daddy. We pictured him having patience, generosity, kindness, and an open mind. We knew that he would have the bravest heart; this we found to be true as he was able to show us his true bravery in his short time with us. We will forever carry his heart with us.
Theo was greeted with open arms in Heaven by his grandfather and great-grandparents. He will forever be mourned on Earth by his loving parents, German and Emily, older sister Stella, four-legged brothers Ryder and Archer, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and many others who loved him so much.
His family will receive family and friends from 1:30 – 2:00 p.m. Saturday, December 10, 2022 at Meyers Funeral Chapel, 1600 W. Main St, Blue Spring, MO.

I am so sorry for your loss! He will be greatly missed. I know how hard you guys wanted this sweet prince!
Emily, you were such a strength to us when John died. I wish I was there to try to offer you some solace at the death of your beloved son. Just know you both are in my heart and I grieve with you as only a mother who has lost a child can.
