On Thursday the late former U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson will be honored at a memorial service in Atlanta.
That service, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. at Peachtree United Methodist Church (3180 Peachtree Road NE) can be seen online via the Vimeo streaming platform by clicking here.
Isakson, 76, the longtime East Cobb resident who served a total of 45 years combined in the Georgia legislature and U.S. Congress, died Dec. 19 after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s Disease (official obituary here).
This week his former official social media accounts have been posting news about the service, as well as links to speeches.
After his retirement at the end of 2019, Isakson started the Isakson Initiative, a non-profit that conducts research into and raises awareness for neurocognitive diseases including: Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and related dementia.
The Isakson family is asking that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Isakson Initiative by clicking here.
Those planning to attend the memorial service in person are asked to have been vaccinated for COVID-19 and to wear masks.
