February 9, 2004 - July 1, 2022

Isaiah Whittington Hall (AKA Billy) was born on February 9, 2004. He died, tragically, on July 1, 2022 of multiple gunshot wounds after breaking up a fight. He had just graduated from Joe T. Robinson High School and was scheduled to attend Pulaski Tech in order to fulfill his dream of becoming a diesel mechanic. He is survived by his parents, Richard and Lydia Hall; his siblings, Abigail, Emma, Sarah Grace and John August Hall; his grandparents, Nancy Scott (Rick), Dr. Whit Hall (Lisa), Patricia Gettings; his girlfriend, Amelia Johnson and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and wonderful friends.

As a child he was creative and artistic, he loved legos, comic books and he filled notebooks with detailed drawings of imagined spaceships, strange creatures and robots. He considered becoming an engineer until he discovered the joy of cars, trucks and 4-wheelers. He loved to drive and work on vehicles with his own hands. He spent many late nights under the hood of his '93 F250 with his friends as they learned together the mechanics of what made it go and how to fix it when it needed repair. He was always up for a good time and those good times usually involved turning a wrench, four-wheel drive, mud puddles, loved ones and probably a bonfire.

He also loved hunting, fishing and being outdoors. He was a good hunter and safe to a fault. He seldom took the first shot, and he rarely missed. He respected the wildlife, the outdoors and the fellowship with his grandfather, uncles, cousins and friends more than anything else about the hunt.

His gift was his humor. He was the opposite of a fashion statement. He was known to wear American flag cowboy boots, pajama bottoms and a leather jacket to school. He would stop by to get coffee from one of his favorite teachers or say I love you, even though he was interrupting or late to his own class. Without exception, and despite the fact he never turned in homework on time, his teachers and classmates adored him. He was the class clown and was able to turn an otherwise drab day into an unforgettable high school experience.

He held a special place in the hearts of everyone who knew him. He was always loving, gentle, kind, generous and never disrespectful to anyone. He was a peacemaker and the epitome of contentment. He loved God and he loved his fellow man and he lived this out when he literally "laid down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). His spirit will live on in this world, through classmates, family and friends for whom he gave that final gift.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to donate to Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF). Visitation will be Saturday, July 9th, from 5-7 PM at Bible Church of Little Rock, 19111 Cantrell Road. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, July 10th at 2 PM at the same location, with a graveside service for family held afterward.
