Memories and Condolences

Zeke was generous perfectionist who used his talents to create first rate sewn goods. His athletic prowess was legend. Apparently he slipped while hiking near the flatirons and fell to his death which was instantaneous. Tragic but at least he did not suffer. He was really a wonderful person.

What a gem! Fortunate to have worked and lived around the way from Zcreations on Pearl Street & 8th. Zeke made a terrific daypack for me to take to Southeast Asia adapted for my equipment. His creativity was brilliant. Saddened to hear of his passing yet assured he left this world a better place. Condolences to his family and friends, may you all find some peace the days and weeks ahead.

Zeke was ..literally one of a kind. I have too many memories to share just one..
maybe when he spirited Merry Poppins and herded a few "highly spirited" hikers and dogs safely through the Flatirons one sunny summer day...

Love, Spike.

Zeke was an Ultimate ambassador for Boulder Ultimate and a super friendly guy. It was so much fun to practice and attend all those tournaments & celebrate together over the years. Peace to all your family and friends.

Every work day, I still use with fond appreciation a custom-made soft briefcase made by Zeke in the 80's....and I still have and use fanny packs and small bags. Family and Friends, I am very sorry for your loss.
