Zangaris, Jeffrey Michael Jeffrey Michael Zangaris - Pueblo Chieftain - February 8, 2012 - Jeffrey Michael Zangaris, entered this world on Oct. 6, 1976, perhaps knowing that his road of life was to be rocky and uphill. Yet, he persevered. Although his physical form may have had many ailments, his soul was sweet and pure. He taught everyone he touched numerous lessons: strength, persistence, understanding, quiet wisdom, unconditional love. The fates provided Jeff with two special moms: Bobbi and JoAnn. These two strong and wonderful women would stand by his side and care for and advocate for him. They questioned, argued with, and earned the respect of countless nurses and doctors over the years. And, Joe. Joe and Jeff were buddies. They had an extraordinary bond that many long for and never achieve. Jeff proved the medical profession wrong so many times. At first, they said he wouldn't be here two years. Then five, then 10 But Jeff persevered. He endured painful surgeries; pneumonia was an unwelcome companion. Many times, he came uncomfortably close to the precipice, but turned away to teach more people more lessons. And the lessons? Life is precious. Accept it, embrace it, grasp it, respect it, appreciate it. Jeff did all these things without ever speaking a word. As they say, the wheel of life keeps on turning. Our mortal shell wears out. Our soul becomes impatient. It needs to fly, unfettered and free. So Jeff's time arrived. Jeff exited this world Feb. 4, 2012, leaving behind a large extended family which will miss him dearly and remember him always with a smile. Survivors include mother, Bobbi Zangaris; brother, Adam Zangaris; nephew, Kade Zangaris; father, Jeff (Linda) Zangaris; special Mom and Dad, Joe and JoAnn Madrid; special brother, Sef Aragon; and special sisters, Selina and Samantha Aragon.
