John Zavala Memoriam

January 8, 1956 –
August 23, 2021

How can it be a year already?

We feel your loss as fresh as the day you were called to the Lord.

We love you and miss you so much!

You are with us every day - in our private thoughts, in our words spoken, in our actions toward others.

When your favorite George Strait songs come on, we see your handsome face as the song plays out. We see you tapping your fingers and smiling.

The void you have left will never be filled but remembering the good times, eases the pain a little.

Life is not the same without you and this year has been so difficult.




We try to take comfort in knowing you are with your parents, many family members, and your Bobcat friends.

We treasure the time we had with you, and you are forever in our hearts.

Sylvia, Leslie, John Jr., Rudy, Betty, Cruz, Cortez, Camila and Corazon.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
