I was Zafer's music teacher at FMS.I taught hundreds of students there and Zafer stands out as memorable. He was happy, smiling, and kidding around in a good way. Such a joy to have in class! I am praying that God will wrap his loving arms around all of you and give you comfort and peace.

Miss Anne & Family. I am so deeply sorry for ur loss of little Zafer. It was such a shock when I heard the news. It not only saddened me, but can't even imagine u having to go thru this. Such a great loss it is. My prayers r with all of u. Hopefully when u feel saddened u will always have a happy thoughts of him. I've known ur family for 30 yrs. I watched little Zafer & my Ashley grow up. He always was a happy young boy & teenager & grew into a fine young man. I know u r so proud of him. And his smile!!! Like no other. He was one of the few young guys that always made a point to speak to me & of course that smile. Always made me feel good. He will be missed so very much but his great memories will live on. I Love & miss all of u very much. Wished I could be there for u.

We are truly saddened by Zafer's passing. We have known Zafer since grade school and watched him becoming a fine young man over the years. Polite, courteous, fun loving, athletic and big smile is how we remembered him. What a great loss to all of us. Our hearts go out to his family.
