William Duncan Zamora Obituary

In Loving Memory of William, who departed from this world unexpectedly on February 27, 2024, at the tender age of 27. Born on September 3, 1996, William brought an abundance of joy and kindness to all who were fortunate enough to know him.


William possessed the remarkable gift of conversation, able to engage anyone in discussion on a wide array of topics with his endless curiosity and enthusiasm. His vivid imagination breathed life into countless stories and adventures, captivating the hearts of those around him.


Above all, William cherished his family and friends dearly, finding solace and strength in their love and companionship. His sweet and kind demeanor touched the lives of all who crossed his path, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and compassion.


A devoted admirer of the Star War saga, William found joy and wonder in its tales of adventure and heroism. His intelligence and knowledge of the series reflected his sharp mind and passion for exploration.


William’s passions were always as vibrant as his spirit. Whether he was swimming, immersing himself in the world of video games, losing himself in the melodies of music, or grappling with opponents on the wrestling mat, William approached life with enthusiasm and gusto. But beyond his hobbies and interests, William was defined by his kindness and his capacity to love. His gentle nature and caring demeanor endeared him to all who crossed his path.


Though William’s time with us was tragically short. His memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who loved him. Let us take comfort in the knowledge that he is in peace and his memory continues to inspire us to live our lives with the same kindness, passion, and love that he exemplified. May he find eternal peace among the stars, and may his memory forever be a source of comfort and inspiration.


Rest in peace, dear William Duncan Zamora.


William leaves behind his father David Zamora, mother and stepfather Rebecca and Matthew Feemster, sister Charlise Feemster, grandparents Paul and Mary Zamora, grandparents Mary and Will Winkel, grandparents Nancy Feemster and David Barber, his many aunts, uncles, and cousins who all dearly miss and love him.
