Mikey Zavala-Vasquez

May 17, 2005 - August 15, 2019

Mikey Zavala-Vasquez, 14, of Moses Lake, Washington passed away August 15, 2019. Mikey--- I sit here and try to find the words to say about my baby that would make people understand the amazing soul that I was blessed to raise. But there are no words. If you have never had a chance to spend time with my son, you missed out. He lit up the room. When Mikey was little he just wanted to be like his big brother. He wanted to dress like him, play sports like him. Act like him. He was his hero. He was so proud of his brother, especially that he was such a good dad. He loved Janiyah (his niece) so much. She could hang out in his room and play with his stuff. That was huge because he didn’t really like little kids. He acted like he hated his sister but he wouldn’t let anyone talk bad about her or pick on her. He was in the 1st grade when he beat up a 5th grader that was picking on his sister. (That was really awkward when I took him over to his house to apologize and the kid was 2 heads taller than Mikey).He would still crawl into bed with her and sleep in her bed. Then he would say, “Don’t make it weird Mari”. Mikey was that kid that put a blanket on his mom and kissed my forehead when I would fall asleep on the couch. Mikey would always ask me to check on his dad. No matter what, he always worried about him. He worried about his friends. Shanti, Neeko, Kanye, Ally, Jeremy, Emilio,Julian. He loved you guys. Mikey is survived by his dad, Mike Vasquez. His mom, Michelle Zavala. His brother Joseph Melo (Corina). His sister, Mariela (Mando), his spiritual brother, Adrian Zavala (Andreis). His niece Janiyah. Grandparents, and too many aunts uncles and cousins to name that all loved him dearly.
