DAVENPORT, Iowa — Family, friends, and members of the Davenport community are mourning the unexpected passing of David Zamora, who died on August 15. His death has left his wife, Ashley Zamora, and everyone who knew him facing a difficult period of grief and remembrance.

Following David’s passing, Ashley and other family members expressed their gratitude for the prayers, condolences, messages, and support they have received. The family said the kindness shown to them during this painful time has meant more than words can adequately express.
