Issac Teal funeral: tributes paid to 'caring, kind and happy' 21-year-old

Emotional tributes have been paid to a “caring, kind, happy and intelligent” 21-year-old as he was laid to rest. Isaac Teal died last month and mourners gathered for his funeral and wake in Doncaster this week.

The 21-year-old has been described as “one of the politest people” and a “kind, caring” man. A celebration of his life was held at Rossington Hall.

A spokesman for the venue said: “Today we said goodbye to one of our own , Isaac Teal. Isaac was only 21 years old.

“He was one of the politest people we have ever known and an absolute pleasure to work with . We were honoured to hold his life celebration event today as he had requested . Rest In Peace Isaac, your RH family will always remember you.”

His former school, Worksop College also paid tribute, posting: “It is with broken hearts that we inform you of the passing of recent leaver Isaac Teal. Isaac was a proud member of Shirley House between 2018 - 2020 and immersed himself in to both school and house life. Our love and deepest sympathy goes to Isaac's family and to all his friends and staff who cared so deeply for him.”

The funeral took place at St Nicholas' Church, Bawtry followed by burial at Tithe Green Burial Ground, our sister title Doncaster Free Post reports. A GoFundMe page for Isaac, which you can donate to HERE has already raised more than £6,000 for his grieving family.

Fundraising organiser Charlotte Balme said: “To all that knew him, Isaac was a caring, kind, happy and intelligent man, with a bright future ahead of him. Isaac was a very special person, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and a great friend to many that knew him. He will forever be deeply missed by us all.
