Isaac Godfrey Schulte, age 3, entered into the arms of Jesus on August 31st, 2020 at the Sanford Castle in Sioux Falls South Dakota. The entire day, he was surrounded by loving family. Isaac fought a very courageous battle with neuroblastoma for almost a year. He was held in his mother and father's arms until Jesus took his hands and led him to the Gates of Heaven where he will forever be pain free.

Isaac brought the utmost joy with his birth on July 25th, 2017 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He was baptized into the Catholic Church on October 7th, 2017 and received his first Holy Communion and Confirmation on August 31st, 2020. Isaac immediately made his place known in the family.

He knew what he wanted and would knock his brothers over and take it if they were unwilling to share, gaining him the nickname, Tanky. Isaac lived every moment with joy. Even through his difficult last year, he was joyous, playful and fearless. His favorite pastimes included playing farm with his brothers and riding in the loader tractor with daddy to feed the calves "hay hay and si-wedge".  One of his favorite drinks was chocolate milk and he would ask for it by saying "choc-wite pwees" He loved watching Paw Patrol and Blaze and The Monster Machines. He also loved "wocking" in the rocking chair with mommy. While hospitalized Isaac loved to play puzzles, play blocks, play playdough, race his go-cart around the nurse's station and scare the nurses, aides and doctors by jumping off of everything he could and being an overall wild man.  His infectious giggle will forever be heard in the hearts of everyone who loved him.

He is survived by his parents Patrick and Erin (Schwarz) Schulte and brothers Jack, Jhett, Owen and William. Grandparents: Mary Schulte and Bruce and Donna Schwarz. Aunts and uncles: Henry (Kelli) Schulte, Laura
