Staff and students of YouthBuild Boston were deeply saddened by the news of Isbraham Rosa’s passing just before the Christmas holiday. Izzy was a recent graduate of our Pre-Apprentice program. He was always on time to the worksite, very energetic, had a strong interest in the building trades and a promising career ahead of him. Words fall short of expressing our grief for this loss. We extend our most sincere condolences to his family and all who loved him. May our fond memories of Izzy bring comfort, and help to ease the pain of Izzy’s passing.
