Zazin - (Jon Letke) 1987 ~ 2016
4 years ago
Many may not know who Zazin Tiger was. ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/zazin ) but he was a friend of a few of us in Ontario Canada. He had a ambition in photography, and once wanted to get a fursuit built by me & Stormfire Studios. But his life went sort of down hill during the 2000's. Some one asked about him tonight, and that brought some memories back. Zazin was a good guy, though he didn't get along with everyone or was easy to agree with, he had a lot of good intentions & was friendly and helpful to everyone.
During 2016 Zazin was working & living in Ottawa. one night he left a note in his apartment, left lots of food for his husky dog.. and in the note he left, he requested that his dog be looked after & find a new home... That night, Zazin jumped from his apartment balcony to his death. . . -Zazin & I have been friends since early 2000's. While we didn't agree on everything because he was very opinionated, he was still a friend. FurAffnity would not list his account as "Deceased" because they wanted proof from family., Zazin did not have much family, all he had was a few of us who knew him as a friend. Myself, Wookiee, Shadowspawn, Sprocket the Husky, and a few more. I know Zazin made some bad-blood with the local furs he knew, including me. But i will still acknowledge him as a friend from the past and know what happened to him. I hope Dragoneer & the furraffinity staff can understand this, and mark his account as deceased & no longer active. Zazin's blood family abandoned him long before he died, and his only family was the few friends he had.
If i could say a last few words to Jon before he went, i would have said Bro, as much as we argued about things, you are still a friend i cared about.. I wish i knew of the pain you were dealing with before you decided to take your own life.. i would have did everything i could have to help stop what drive you to do what you did. Rest in peace my friend..

Guess my account would never be marked deceased when I die cause the rest of my family is dead. I'm immortal!!!!
Perhaps with those, along with them potentially seeing no activity on the account for years now, they will hopefully change it over.
My deepest condolences.. I'm sure if you had known what he was going through in his head, you indeed could have helped him FS.. Unfortunately its very hard to see these things until after they happen... Many people just bottle it all up until it reaches a breaking point..
If he had no immediate family though and just left a note for somebody to feed his dog... Was his dog cared for??... Did he have a roommate??..
Regardless.. My condolences and I hope the FA powers that be see this and finally mark his account as deceased.. He deserves to have a memorial account.
