Detected with terminal bone cancer on his 12th birthday of October 6, 1997. Zamael, or as his family called him, 'Bubba', fought a truly courageous and never relenting, nor complaining fight with his disease.
Born in Tucson, but raised in Denver, Colorado from the age of 5 until April of this year, Bubba was known by all who had the pleasure of knowing him as one who tried his best at any task he undertook: be it school, computers, baseball, or just making friends. He was a noble competitor, yet a lover of fair pay. Those who knew him will never forget him and it is hoped that they will continue their life in a manner fitting with his wishes–doing their best, when they chose to take action never complaining about the outcome or accusing others because things just didn't go the way they wished; and having the fortitude and backbone to get back up and trying to do it one more time with grace, confidence and knowing full well that our task while we are on this earth is only to learn, not complain.
