I enjoyed Izzy's music, which was distinctive , but he was a classic study of a tragic life (IMHO).
He suffered from morbid obesity his entire life and at one point was over 700 lbs. There is a video of his family and friends spreading his ashes on the surf and even the urn was "up sized".
RIP Izzy
