NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville businessman and former Metro-Nashville City Council member Jamie Isabel died on Monday. He was 61.
Isabel served one term on the council, from 2003-2007.
In addition to his work on the council, Isabel also owned Nashville Threads, a shop in Nashville International Airport that featured goods designed by local and regional minority artists.
Nashville Assessor of Property Vivian Wilhoite said in a statement, "Jamie understood that public service was about people. Our prayers run especially deep for his beloved wife, Karen, and his entire family."
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
