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."
North Nashville lost a passionate advocate and historian with the passing of Lorenzo Washington. I had the pleasure to get to know him while working on a story and left with a wealth of information and appreciation for how Jefferson Street shaped the sound of Music City. Aaron Cantrell shows us how Lorenzo will forever be part of that.
