I consider myself blessed to have known Mr. Zepeda. I never saw him without that beautiful and bright smile on his face. It is said,” Some people make a room brighter when they enter a room and some people make a room brighter when they leave a room.” Mr. Zepeda would have made the entire Astrodome brighter when he walked in. Mr. Zepeda was an angel here on earth. God needed another angel so he called Mr. Zepeda home. Do you remember how bright the sun was the other day? That happened when when Mr. and Mrs. Zepeda were reunited in heaven.
Prayers to the family, knew him a long time ago. DeeDee Gutierrez Gonzalez
My deepest sympathy and prayers to the family in the loss of your beloved father and mother. I notice that your father was born on the same day as my mother a year later. I am reminded in the loss of my mother this past September, that grief is the price you pay for loving someone, and I know that your father was a dearly beloved man. My best memory is from little league when your dad was in the stands offering to buy Danny a Big Mac from McDonalds if he would hit a homerun, the parents got a kick out him, he was a great example of a loving husband and father, May God’s Blessings and Peace be with your family during this time of mourning and celebration of life.
Saddened to see this. Lost contact over the years but I will always remember his soft spoken voice and kindness. I’m so sorry for your loss. God Bless Marcelo and his wonderful family.
