born on May 24, 1979 to Charles and Pamela Buell in Bothell, Washington. He grew up in

Edmonds, WA and graduated from Edmonds-Woodway High School. He enjoyed

skateboarding, baseball and mechanical shop class. Following high school, he completed the

Lake Washington Technical Machinists Program and started his own machine shop business

with much success. He began with a simple lathe and over time saved enough to purchase a

CNC mill which enabled him to expand his business. From an early age, Isaac enjoyed

rebuilding car engines and soon started collecting Datsuns and joined the Datsun 510 Club. He

married his middle school sweetheart, Stefani Ritter, and they had three children together

Jacob, Hannah and Ava. They moved to Port Townsend where he worked as a machinist. In

Port Townsend, he developed his passion for fishing and boating. His largest catch was a 187lb

halibut. He later decided to change careers and went to school in the Wind Turbine trade. They

moved the family to The Dalles, OR and he worked for many years with GE as a Wind Turbine

Technician.

He is survived by his parents, Charles Buell (Sharon) and Pamela Paris; siblings Christina

Rowlands (Brian), Bard Buell, Steven Buell; children Jacob Buell, Hannah Buell, Ava Buell;

great-grandmother Lois Paris; many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

Isaac will be forever remembered for his love of life, specifically his children and his family,

fishing, taking his kids boating, hiking for days to catch an elk by bow and arrow then drag it for

miles over rough mountain terrain, geocaching and foraging mushrooms in the OR hills. He

loved making weekend breakfasts with the kids. He prided himself on precision and perfection in

his work. He loved to travel and explore, this included several trips to Alaska backcountry, sport

fishing in Cabo San Lucas. He pursued an entrepreneurial spirit making several trips around

Asia. He was a passionate and curious person with many interests and meeting others of like

interest who is deeply missed by all who love him.

May he rest in peace.
