RIP Gary Thomas Zullo
Post written by Samantha Zullo (Gary’s wife):
At 7:10am on Friday January 1st, Gary Zullo left us. He ended up in the hospital on Christmas day because he was very dellusional and wasn’t peeing much. Turns out he somehow had pneumonia, sepsis, kidney failure, a bacterial infection in his blood and to top it off a fungal infection in his lungs which according to the doctors is almost always fatal for someone with a compromised immune system. He fought long and he fought HARD to stay alive but ultimately he couldn’t fight any longer and his heart gave up.
Gary has touched sooooooooo many lives in his short 33 years on this earth. He will be missed dearly by so many, but most of all by those that he left behind, his mom, his 2 year old son (Michael), and his wife (Samantha).
Thank you all for following Gary’s blog. He loved writing blog posts because it was his outlet against the thing he hated most, Cancer. Gary always kept things real even with his salty language (as he’d call it). Thanks again for following him throughout his journey.
Love,
Samantha and Michael

Gary was an inspiration. His sense of humor and warmth was felt through his blog posts. My condolences go out to you and your family.
Even those of us who have never met Gary, will never forget Gary. I laughed so many times reading his blog. You for sure had a funny guy on your hands! Gary, may you rest peacefully and continue to watch over Sam and Mikey, your light will shine forever…..
I was following Gary’s posts on Twitter and his posts were funny until he had to go in for chemo. I didn’t know him personally, but this announcement made my heart sink. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I enjoyed reading his tweets and may he rest in peace. Gary, you will be missed.
I’m so sorry to hear of this news. I didn’t really know the guy but I have seen him around on Surpass.
The only place I’d ever “met” Gary was on Facebook through another friend. I am very saddened to hear this news and offer my condolences to his family and friends.
