Adam E. Isley

December 1, 2023 at 6:01 p.m.


NORTH MANCHESTER – Adam E. Isley, 47, North Manchester, passed away Nov. 30, 2023, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne.
The son of Max Isley and Brenda Seibold Wadkins, Adam was born in Wabash on May 3, 1976.
Adam was a 1994 graduate of Manchester High School, where he played baseball. His love for the game continued throughout his adult life, as he played fastpitch softball in Wabash for several years and coached his daughter’s travel softball team for 10 years.
After graduating from Ivy Tech with an associate degree in engineering, Adam co-founded 3-G with his brother, Jason Isley, and best friend, Jason Miller. Together they created a successful business, but more importantly, an unbreakable brotherhood solidified between the three of them. On May 23, 2020, Adam married his soulmate, Rachel Elizabeth Probst. Though their time together was cut short, they shared more love in a few years than many do in several decades.
In every venture of Adam’s life, he possessed an extraordinary gift for making a positive impact on those around him. Others were drawn to his personality and sense of humor. Adam loved his family dearly; he was an incredible father, son, husband and brother who only wanted the best for those he held in high esteem. Adam touched many lives, and his passing leaves a void that can never be filled.
The loving memory of Adam Isley will be forever cherished by his wife, Rachel Elizabeth (Probst) Isley, North Manchester; son, Addison Isley, North Manchester; daughter, Avery Isley, North Manchester; father and stepmother, Max and Eileen Isley, Akron; mother, Brenda (Seibold) Wadkins, Disko; brothers, Jason (Angela) Isley, North Manchester; and Justin Isley, Akron; sister, Michelle (Aaron) Kosins, Warsaw; and best friend, Jason Miller, Warsaw. Adam was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, James and Marjorie Seibold; and paternal grandparents, Noble and Reba Isley.
Family and friends may call Tuesday, Dec. 5 from noon to 3 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. at McKee Mortuary, 1401 Ind. 114 West, North Manchester. A celebration of Adam’s life will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 1 p.m. with calling beginning at 11 a.m.
For those who wish to honor the memory of Adam Isley, memorial contributions may be made to the Wabash County Animal Shelter, 810 Manchester Ave., Wabash, IN 46992.
The family of Adam Isley has entrusted McKee Mortuary with care and final arrangements.
