On Thursday, September 26, lives were forever changed for a Southside family.
Their loved one, Isaac James Oldham, 18, lost his life.
Issac, a 2019 graduate of Franklin Central, worked at the Kroger on Southport road in Franklin Township and was riding his motorcycle on his way home when he was hit by a drunk driver at the intersection of Shelbyville and Five Points.
A beautiful memorial has been placed in the grass where he took his last breath.
Isaac’s Mom, Melanie Oldham, is hoping to spread awareness of drinking and driving.
This tragedy has impacted family, friends and the community.
Isaac, born February 2, 2001 to Derrick and Melanie Oldham, was such a special guy, according to so many.
He was an artist and designed the World Cultures Club logo at school, he loved fishing, solving rubiks cubes, playing video games, bowling and listening to music.
He loved spending time with his Mom and siblings Ezra, Isabel and Eva, as well as, his Dad and step-mom, Tracie, and step-siblings, AJ and Kacie Sampson.
Family was important and his dogs, Fred, Amos, Cookie and Tallulah were a huge part too.
He was a hard worker, always helpful, incredibly intelligent and very witty. He was training for management at Kroger.
Isaac, the grandson of Pat Harris and Gary Harris, made the selfless decision to be an organ donor when he received his driver’s license.
A celebration of life took place on Wednesday, October 2.
If you would like to donate in his memory, please send to Biker’s Against Drunk Drivers, 300 S. Pointe Drive, Unit #606, Miami Beach, FL 33139.
The family asks that people continue posting memories and pictures of Isaac at

“I could share 1000 photos and stories but it wouldn’t tell you everything about Isaac. My absolutely beautiful, smart, strong, funny boy who was becoming an amazing man. Be kind. Show love. Do it in honor of my son.”

“So many thoughts and so many memories , no words can convey the love we all had for you . Your short time on earth was one we will never forget . I’m beyond proud to have called you my son, even prouder to hear all the people you’ve touched and to hear how kind you were to all.
Until we meet again , I love you dearly .. Dad”

“Issac always had a smile to share. He was in my US History class and served as my TA his senior year. I was always amazed at his artistic ability. He was always drawing (although he called it doodling). He was always so humble and I am not sure he truly knew how brilliant he was. As a favor to me, he designed our new logos of the World Cultures Club. I gave him our slogans and gave him free reign. His designs are so beautiful and truly represents our club. I am sad that he will not be able to explore his talent, however we will always honor him.”

“I only knew of Isaac by way of my grandson Drew. His curiosity was infectious as shown by the occasional road trips they went on. I’d like to suggest that Isaac was a gift from God to all who knew him and I challenge all his friends to hold his memory close for the rest of their lives.”
