May our brother rest in the eternal peace our Lord has promised to all believers in Christ Jesus.  May our Lord’s comfort and peace surround all his family members.  He will be missed.  His love for the Lord’s chosen people will be remembered.  May his prayers be remembered and answered by our Lord.  
CH David Isbell

I will always cherish my time with Chaplain Zavala. As a Chaplain Assistant in the Texas State Guard, I got to spend time with him and learn many new things from him. I will always remember his smile and his positive energy. GOD Speed Chaplain!

To Renee Baruch  Simcha and the rest of zavala family. Your father was my friend, my mentor, my brother and my teacher. I loved him a lot and I will miss him. He was also a servant of God. Love, Lee Davis

We will miss Rabbi Zavala's engaging smile, positive energy, steadfast loyalty and dedication to his family, students and fellow Texas State Guard service members. Our Rabbi is a man of integrity who believes that there are no problems that cannot be resolved through patience, love and common sense. Rabbi Joe is a student of Jewish history having written multiple monographs all centering on the goodness of humankind. My fondest memories include praying with him while I was ill and offering communion. At the point of the Lord's Prayer, I would pause and let him go on as he prayed this universal loving prayer in accordance with his Messianic Jewish tradition. He would smile and say:"You really like me doing that don't you?" Yes, Rabbi I did and still do to this very today. "Blessed are you G-d, King of the Universe, the True Judge."

I served with Joe in the Texas State Guard where he was a chaplain in 4th Battalion, 6th Brigade; otherwise known as the Alamo Guards.

Joe was a blessing to the TXSG, his wisdom and wit were well known throughout the command, and his services always drew enthusiastic participation.

I was also proud and honored to have Joe as a friend.  He always had a positive attitude under any circumstances, and his wonderful sense of humor brought smiles to all.    

He was a loving and devoted father, a devout Rabbi and a friend to everyone he met.

He will be greatly missed, and we only find solace in knowing he led a productive and full life.

Most respectfully,

Michael H. Moore, LTC, TXSG
