ZUGAY, Eric J.

Eric J. Zugay, 35, of Phoenix, AZ, passed away Sunday, July 30, 2006, after a courageous battle with cancer. 

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Arizona State University (1992), a Masters of Science degree in Hydrology from the University of Arizona (1995) and was actively pursuing a civil engineering degree while working as an environmental engineer. 

His passion for education in engineering came first. When cancer engulfed Eric's life, he then redirected his life goals to find a cure for his cancer, knowing his time was short. He was an avid hiker and bicyclist. 

Survivors include his father James Zugay, brother Brian Zugay, and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother Diana Lucille. 

Memorial Mass was at St. Theresa Catholic Church, 5045 E. Thomas Rd.
