Corwyn (Cory) William Zimbleman
Tucson, AZ (formerly of Champaign, IL)
Age 53. Born April 18, 1952 to the late Willard and Gilda (Ebert) Zimbleman, died June 10, 2005. Throughout his life Cory was an extraordinary artist. His artistic talent and imagination would bring awe to all who viewed his work. His works grace an LP cover and numerous books; using Computer Aided Design (CAD) he designed home and business exteriors, interiors, and furniture for several architectural firms. His talent went beyond the fine arts as he added sculpturing, woodworking, metals, and other mediums to his repertoire. Having never gained the recognition he deserved in his own lifetime his family hopes to publish a book of his works. Another of his passions was herpetology. As a child he was always bringing home reptiles. His friends nicknamed him "Snake." He even built a turtle pond in his backyard. An avid atheist, he studied the bible and religion with more fervor than most Christians. He had strong political opinions and followed Amy Goodman's radio broadcast "Democracy Now." Alas the stolen election of 2000 and living with right-winged Americans finally brought him to his early demise. Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled. Cory, a great man, so very talented, compassionate and intelligent, dedicated to the arts and humanities and the environment, will be greatly missed by his wife, family, and friends. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Montiel; his step-daughter, Esperanza Hernandez both of Tucson; his brother, Mike (Dana) of St. Louis, MO; his sisters, Susan St. Claire of San Jose, CA and Laura Zimbleman of Ypsilanti, MI, and his turtles Heidie, Skinhead and Studley and many other pets. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, June 21, 2005 from 6:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m., please call 883-2862 for information. Cremation has taken place.
Man, I hate when that happens.
Yep he will probably have his tombstone say "killed by freepers".
I think the stress of being a failed artist may have been what caused the disability.
I almost feel bad that I laughed. Almost.
Why would somebody who claims he doesn't believe in GOD - study the Bible ..?? Hmmmmm??
Corwyn: "Yes, it is."
Angel: "So, tell me, what did you learn?"
I thought it was the funniest one I had ever heard when Rush read it today.
Look for that on a best-seller list near you. Or not.
Well, beats working for a living, I guess.
Liberaleese for "I can't take reality any more."
This obit makes it sound as though dying was d**ned considerate of him.
I wonder what kept him from moving to some socialist utopia like Sweden? Or least Canada or Cuba, could have gotten that free healthcare dontchaknow.
"Stress from living in this unjust country brought about several heart attacks rendering him disabled."
After hearing yet another obligatory rant against America, I asked my left-bent antiAmerican friend just what country would he prefer to live in. The answer: "INDIA! Because Gandhi..." In a bemused tone I interrupted with "You are out of your blooming mind. Why aren't you there now?"
the answer: "Gandhi is dead."
At least he died with his Birkenstocks on.
Obit said he had already been cremated. What it didn't say was that everyone downwind for a half mile of that crematorium got a hellacious case of the munchies.
And the book will be printed on Kleenex for the convenience of the bleeding heart liberals who will purchase Cory's masterpieces.
What reality? He was an liberal, artist, humanitarian and environmentalist who blamed social unfairness on his heart attack induced disability and built a pond in his backyard for turtles.
This guy makes Michael Jackson look as grounded as William F. Buckley.
Sadly I have to agree......I never heard of the guy. That being said, I think I have finally found my runaway turtles.........
I'd laugh at this loser, except I fully expect the next thing will be PTSST, post-Terri Schiavo stress trauma.
Studies have shown that artistic types do have a greater vulnerability to stress. And as far as being a "failed artist", well, he set himself up for that, thanks to outcome-based thinking, who knows?
