Max Zape Chula Vista,CA Obituary| San Diego Music Community Mourns Tragic Loss Of Keyboardist
The San Diego music community is reeling from the tragic loss of keyboardist and beloved figure, Max Zape. Max, a Chula Vista resident, passed away late last night following a devastating house fire earlier this week that also critically injured his 96-year-old mother, who remains hospitalized. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with his family during this unimaginable time.
Max was more than a musician; he was a vibrant thread in the fabric of the local and Los Angeles music scenes. A consummate professional, he served diligently for years as our IMC LA correspondent. A proud USC music school alumnus, Max was known for his immense talent, his ready laugh, and his passionate music chatter. His presence was a gift to stages and studios alike.
This loss is a profound blow to all who knew him. To honor his life and legacy, a tribute for Max Zape will be held at Humphreys Backstage Live on Sunday, February 1st, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friends, fans, and fellow musicians are invited to gather in remembrance of a man whose music and spirit touched so many.
