Isaac D. Gehrke

Isaac David Gehrke, 42, of Sedalia, passed away Sunday, June 14, 2026.

He was born August 25, 1983, in Marquette, Michigan, a son of the late Fred and Diane (Dettman) Gehrke.

Isaac was a 2002 graduate of Knob Noster High School and graduated from State Fair Community College with an associate’s degree in criminal justice. He worked for many years as a security guard in Warrensburg.

Isaac enjoyed the simple things in life and found happiness in long walks, video games, and gathering with others to play Dungeons & Dragons. He was a fan of superheroes and especially enjoyed The Hobbit. He never hesitated to share his political views, but he also enjoyed making people laugh and joking with those around him.

More than anything, Isaac loved his son, Draven, and cared deeply for his dogs. He was a gentle and peaceful soul, an empathetic listener, and someone who would gladly give the shirt off his back to help another person in need.

He is survived by his son, Draven Gehrke; and several brothers and sisters.

Visitation will begin at 10:30 am Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Heckart Funeral Home with memorial services beginning at 11:00 am.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Sedalia Animal Shelter “Trooper Fund” in care of Heckart Funeral Home.
