Marc Willis, President and CEO of the Soulsville Foundation, said, "Isaac was unique and an inspiration to us all. His accomplishments as a musician are unparalleled. But more than that, he was a very dear friend and great supporter of the Soulsville Foundation mission, particularly the work we do with children. We will miss him and his wonderful presence more than we can convey at this time."
Isaac Hayes was one of the most genuine, humble, and sweet people we have ever known. He was always cheerful and ready to help anyone in any way that he could. He did that on a daily basis. Helping others was a tremendous part of his life.
Our thoughts go now to his family, particularly to his wife Adjowa and his children. Our thoughts are also with his dear friend and Stax pioneer, David Porter.
We will miss Isaac so much.

Two random deaths in row, it just wasn't a very good weekend. First Morgan Freeman gave us a scare, then Bernie Mac dies when people expected he was doing better. Now Isaac Hayes and the cause was unknown! I hope next weekend is better...
