Izak Logan Hays passed away on Monday, May 10, 2021, at the young age of
 20, in Hays, Kansas. He was born on December 14, 2000, to Bryan and 
Tosha (Thomas) Hays in Hays, Kansas.
 Izak grew up in Plainville where he attended Plainville High School 
and graduated with the class of 2019. Through his high school career, he
 enjoyed football, school plays and competing in the Forensics meets. 
Izak was known to take center stage in all facets of life. As the class 
clown and a storyteller, he loved to make people laugh and smile; he was
 an all-around entertainer. Along with his vibrant personality and 
ability to capture the love and attention of his peers, he was talented 
with poetry, creating rap lyrics, singing, and playing other instruments
 as well. He was very computer smart and enjoyed I.T. type work, he was 
instrumental in helping his technology teacher create PHS’s Bird’s Eye 
View, as well as being the first student announcer for their broadcasts.
 Izak looked into I.T. as a future career. He was currently working for 
Mission Construction Company Inc. on a road crew. Izak was not only 
funny, but very headstrong and good at arguing. We can honor his memory 
by doing as Izak did, and stay unapologetically ourselves, live to make 
others smile, and cherish every day.
 He is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Van and Marjorie Strutt, Phyllis Hill, and Bert &amp; Margaret Hays.
