Israel Obando nació el 31 de octubre de 2004 en Amarillo, Texas, hijo de Erick Obando y Eduviges Obando. Fue el tercer hermano de cinco. Israel provenía de una familia pastoral y tenía una fe siempre fundada en Cristo. Desde pequeño estuvo involucrado en todos los deportes, le encantaba la lucha libre, el fútbol y el fútbol americano. Pasaba la mayor parte de su tiempo al aire libre, patinando, pescando y haciendo senderismo. A medida que Israel crecía, decidió practicar boxeo junto a sus hermanos. Cuando hablaba sobre su futuro, siempre se inspiraba en los autos; soñaba con convertirse en un técnico experto. Si querías que Israel hablara, Japón era un tema del que podía hablar por horas, siempre soñó con ir a Japón y viajar por el mundo junto a su Infiniti G35. Era un guerrero no solo físicamente, sino también espiritualmente, era un hombre de palabra con la mentalidad de un líder, aunque Israel trabajaba en turnos nocturnos, siempre encontraba tiempo para ir a la iglesia y se aseguraba de que su base estuviera en Cristo. El tiempo de Israel fue corto, pero lo pasó junto a sus amigos y familiares. A Israel le encantaba la comida y siempre decía que se convertiría en crítico gastronómico. Siempre organizaba parrilladas con sus amigos y se aseguraba de que sus steaks fueran tan especiales como él. Israel fue sobrevivido por sus padres, Erick Obando y Eduviges Obando, así como por sus hermanos Simon Obando, Isaac Obando, Zurisadai Obando y Emmanuel Obando. Sus cuñadas Jennifer Obando y Lupita Rodriguez. Fue tío de Samara Obando, Lea Obando y Urias Obando.
