“Words cannot describe how much he will be missed,” said Zabarsky. “He has been a major impact on helping me become who I am today and I know that so many could say the same. He and his legacy will always be a part of our hearts as we remind ourselves that now he’s just smiling at us all from above – our angel simply got his wings”.
