Print In the eyes of his family, North Park resident Homero Zapata was a success in every way a loving husband, father and grandfather and a hard-working, self-reliant businessman who never let anyone else pick up the check. But after he died from COVID-19 on Feb. 6, the Zapata family created a GoFundMe page in his memory. The family’s humble fundraising goal was just $1,000 because daughters Brenda and Lizette Zapata say raising donations was never the primary reason for launching the page. Like many grieving local families, the Zapatas are using their page, titled “In great honor of our father Homero Zapata,” to share photos, stories, memories and eulogies of their loved one during a time when the pandemic has prohibited large funeral gatherings.
