Dinuba
Abraham Zapien, beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, was called home to be with the Lord on November 18, 2025, after a courageous 25-year battle with Parkinson's disease. Though he is no longer with us physically, we find comfort knowing he has entered eternal rest and is now healed in God's presence.
He is lovingly survived by his son Abraham Zapien and his wife Beatrice, his daughter Johann Zapien and her husband Adrian, and his daughter Jenny Reyes and her husband Anthony.
Grandchildren: Daniel Zapien, Kaitlyn Gonzalez & her husband Ozzie, Elias Garcia, Leeandra Reyes, Emily Reyes, Addisyn Zapien, Ariella Garcia, Ella Reyes and Abraham Garcia.
Great-grandchildren: Danny Zapien and Luka Gonzalez.He is also survived by his brothers Trino, Ricardo, Julio, Daniel and Samuel and his sisters Juana, Maggie, Blanca and Beckie, along with many nieces and nephews who cherished him deeply.
Abraham's life was a testament to faith, perseverance and love. His gentle spirit, quiet strength and unwavering trust in God touched every person blessed to know him. Though our hearts grieve, we rejoice knowing he has been welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, reunited with loved ones who went before him.
