Kobe Lynn Zavalar
Our precious baby boy, called back to God too soon
Kobe Lynn Zavala passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep in the early morning hours of Dec. 30, 2023. In his short time on this earth, Kobe brought joy to all who had the privilege to witness his calm demeanor, and infectious smile. Nowhere was Kobe more content than in the loving arms of his mother Hailey and father Jose.
Kobe was born at 5:03 a.m. on Sept. 5, 2023, at the Special Delivery Birthing Center in Arlington, WA to parents Hailey and Jose Zavala. He arrived without complication, and precisely one day ahead of his due date.
During Kobe's lifetime, he celebrated his father Jose's birthday on Sept. 7 at the ripe old age of two days, joined the festivities for his mom's birthday on Oct. 25, delighted at his first Halloween with older siblings Ellie and Kion, celebrated sister Ellie's birthday on Nov. 1, experienced the bond of family and gratitude during his first Thanksgiving, and marveled at the beautiful white lights and crinkly wrapping paper on his first and only Christmas morning. The highlight of Kobe's short life, however, was undoubtedly his one and only overnight trip to Seattle – just he and his parents – to help them celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary on Dec. 22, 2023.
Kobe's departure leaves a wound that will never fully heal, but his family is comforted in the knowledge that during his brief lifetime the only thing he knew was Love.
Kobe is survived by his parents Hailey and Jose Zavala, older siblings Ellie Zavala and Kion Zavala, grandparents Ofrecina and Eluterio Zavala, all of Anacortes, WA; grandparents Sally and Andrew Azure of LaConner, WA and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family.
