On behalf of Grace Zuniga (wife)
To my honey, the love of my life. You were an amazing husband and father. You have always cared for us first, before anyone or anything. You loved me most of my life, high school sweethearts, we have learned and shared every aspect of our lives together. Your love will continue through all our memories we spent together and our beautiful children. You know my habits, my cravings, what makes me happy and what scares me. You comfort me when I'm down and you are my number one supporter. You were so proud of me. I am proud to be your wife, you were a great provider to our family, you took care of everything so I wouldn't need to. You would wake up early to bring me coffee, put gas in my car, wash my car and so much more. You were wonderful in helping people, animals and family. You rode your Harley proudly and I loved riding with you. You were a supporter of your local teamsters, I loved how you stood up to what you believed in. You were tough but so soft with me. I know you loved me so much. I find peace in your love my honey. I wish I had more time with you. I find peace you are in the arms of our Heavenly Father. God bless you my sweetheart, until I see you again. I love you with all my heart and soul.
On behalf of Roberto Zuniga Jr. (Son)
My father was my best friend. The best role model I could ever fathom. He told me like his father before him would tell him "I would rather have one friend than one dollar." He inspired and looked out for just about anybody he let into his life. He showed me how to be a man and take care of my family. As he did perfectly himself. He introduced me to Rock & Roll/Heavy Metal music with an explanation of the meanings of the songs and the backgrounds of the musicians. He was always fun and was filled with this infectious energy. Especially when we would see these bands live. He also showed me how to ride a motorcycle and helped me to get get every bike I've owned. He was a firm believer that Harley Davidson was the only way to go. He was my favorite cook. There was no way to stay small with my fathers cooking. The dishes he would make were so delicious friends and family would ask my father to cook for their events. He even won the award for 2016 Chef of the Year for Ambassador for Christ Life Group. He was always my go-to cook. My father still made delicious one of a kind lunches and dinners for me everyday. He loved to cook for my family, friends and I. I couldn't wait for what he made next each day. I enjoyed spending time with my father, watching movies, eating or just hanging out. He adored my mother and two sisters. My father never let his sickness define him and always made sure we were all taken care of. Even so now, my father is my everything and will always live on through his family. I have his name and his blood coarsing through me. I will always love and miss him. I am beyond honored to be his son. Words can never express how deep my love and respect goes for my father. This is but a summary of what I can. Love you dad and Rest In Peace. -ROBERTO ZUNIGA JR
On Behalf of Angelica Maria Zuniga (Daughter)
My father was one of the best men I'll ever know. I looked up to him always. He was always so strong, loving, wise and honest. No one has ever taught me so much throughout my life as he did. He had so many passions that were passed on to his children. From his love of music, history, animals, motorcycles, cooking, and the list goes on. He valued his relationships with people. I learned through him that friends can be family but you have to let the right ones in. He made sure we valued ourselves and to build relationships with people who value you as well. If you had a friend in my father you were lucky. He was such a free spirit and made sure to do things that made him happy. I couldn't ask for a better best friend, role model, and most of all a father. You were taken from us too soon but I will always make sure you live through us. Not a day will go by that I don't miss you. I love you, always. - Hellie

Roberto, Robert, Bob or Bobby was the name he went by but I knew him as Dad. Dad was known as a Harley Davison biker yet also he was known as the type of man that would give you the shirt off his back and cook you a home cooked meal. He cared about his family deeply and believed in following their own passion and interests. He overcame every battle that came crossed his path; he was a fighter. He raised his children on love, food and laughter. He taught us how to be open minded and how to be good people. Dad was wild, bold and full of life whenever he'd smile you knew he was genuinely happy that is a quality to appreciate. Great lessons were learned while memories were made. Dad the loving memories we shared together in this life shall forever be held in our hearts and souls forever. I love you.
Please join us in celebrating his life Wednesday August 23, 2017 at Corpus Christi Funeral Home. Visitation will be held from 5pm to 9pm a Rosary to be recited at 7pm that same evening. A Funeral Mass will be held at 10 am at St. Cyril and Methodius Church on Thursday August 24, 2017 proceed by his eternal resting at Seaside Memorial Park.
