With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Isaiah Dante Silvani of San Jose, CA.
These words are offered in his memory — small, but heartfelt.
Some days simply pass; others stay with us forever.
Isaiah Dante Silvani, formerly of Bordentown, New Jersey, died suddenly on April 22, 2026 at his home in San Jose, CA. Isaiah was born on September 18, 1997 in Pensacola, Florida and was raised by his loving and devoted mother, Shannon. He spent most of his life in the Bordentown area before relocating to California.
He is survived by his mother, Shannon Silvani, of Morrisville, PA, his father, Shane Gibson, of Hamilton, NJ, his grandparents (Debra Mullen and Clay Gearhart; Arthur and Mariann Silvani; Anelle [Dolly] Gibson), aunts Kristin, Jessica, and Martha, uncle Andrew, and many cousins and great aunts and uncles. He was the light of his loving family. Isaiah had a generous and gentle spirit, making the hardest days feel lighter just by being there. He found beauty in the world; he loved hiking in the mountains of California, sledding in the New Jersey snow, taking good care of family pets, and gaming with his friends. He was a self-taught and highly-respected Software Engineer working in his dream job in Sunnyvale.
He will be profoundly missed by his family and friends forever.
Memorial visitation will be held on Friday, May 15, 2026 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Hamilton Brenna-Cellini Funeral Home, 2365 Whitehorse-Mercerville Rd., Hamilton, NJ 08619.
