Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer officially proclaimed Saturday as "Faturday" in the state to honor the late Andy Isaac, a beloved Detroit sports superfan and popular social media personality.
Isaac, a native of Sterling Heights, Michigan, died Thursday after a long battle with Hodgkin lymphoma. He was 45. Isaac, who was diagnosed in 2006, entered hospice care in February.
"Michigan has the best, most passionate sports fans in the country, and nobody embodied what we're all about better than Andy Isaac," Whitmer said in a statement. "With his humor, dedication, and love for our teams, Andy helped make cheering on Detroit sports a heck of a lot more fun.
