Help Zeb's Family Celebrate the Life of a True Warrior

Zebudy Carlyle, at 24 years old, has shed this mortal coil, after years of pain and suffering, with kidney disease. A stronger person, you'd be hard pressed to find! A true Warrior, to the very end!

He fought the kidney disease that robbed him of more than 12 years of being a normal kid, before he received his transplant! In that time, he was in and out of the hospital, for stretches of weeks and months. He had numerous surgeries and procedures. Also, he had Congestive Heart Failure, due to his disease. Even suffering near fatal cardiac arrests, he survived resuscitation, which took approximately 55 minutes, put him on life support, and beat the odds of brain damage with the prolonged lack of oxygen!

After his transplant, he was able to achieve a somewhat normal life, for around 6 years. He enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities, including exploring abandoned properties and buildings, for the excitement of it! Video and computer games were another passion. Driving was something that was delayed for him, but he got his license and loved to drive his Cadillac, given to him by his maternal Grandmother and her husband, his Grandfather!

You could always count on him to be a clown and make you laugh! His smile and laugh are going to be cherished and remembered fondly, forever! And he did not pull any punches! You could count on him to be brutally honest and fiercely loyal, and be real to everyone he came into contact with!

He leaves behind a huge family! Not only his Mother, Father, Brothers, and Sister, Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, but an extended family to rival all!

The hole he leaves behind is bigger than the Milky Way, never to be filled! Memories are all that remain of the Strongest man I have ever known! Zebudy will always be my Hero!
