In loving memory of

Daniel Zavala
September 5, 1942 - October 29, 2023

We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved father, Daniel Fernando Zavala. At the age of 81 he passed on October 29, 2023. Known as Danny to most, he was born in Bellavista, Callao, Peru to Judith Rios Villar and Domingo Zavala Alejos. Danny served in the US Navy during the Vietnam War and continued his service in the US Coast Guard before beginning his career as a Stationary Engineer for Local 39. He loved to break out in song, dance, and for many years tinker on cars. Often, he would say "unconditional love" which will always be remembered. Those left to cherish his memory are his spouse Rosemary Zavala, brother Pablo Zavala, sister Judy Davies, and children Diana, Cynthia, Danny, Ron, Timothy, Daphne, Celeste, and Caleb who he raised. Followed by 27 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
