Zoey DeRosa

Zoey DeRosa, a cherished and devoted companion, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2025, in Graceville, Florida. Known affectionately as Zoey, she embraced life with a joyful spirit that was truly contagious. Her family, including Roxie and Devon DeRosa, remember her as a beacon of love and an embodiment of loyalty.

Born with an innate ability to spread happiness, Zoey's 11 years were marked by a youthful exuberance that defied her age. At 77 in dog years, she still retained the innocence of a puppy, finding comfort and joy in the simplest of pleasures. Zoey had a particular fondness for her blankets, which she would suckle with endearing contentment, a habit that endeared her to all who knew her.

Zoey's days were filled with her favorite activities. She relished the thrill of a good squirrel chase and basked in the warmth of the sun during her leisurely sunbathing sessions. Car rides were adventures that she looked forward to with wagging tail, and she was always there to clean up after the kids, eagerly waiting for a stray morsel to drop. Yet, above all, Zoey's idea of perfect bliss was to be snuggled under a blanket, cuddling with her beloved family.

While Zoey was selective with her affections, not easily won over by just anyone, the love she offered to her family was boundless and pure. She was the epitome of a loving soul, intelligent in her understanding of their needs and selfless in her desire to provide comfort. Zoey's presence was a warm and gentle hug to the heart, a constant reminder of the simple, unconditional love that pets bestow upon their humans.

Rest easy, Zo baby. Your memory will continue to inspire us to appreciate the small joys in life and to love as unconditionally as you did. You were not just a pet; you were a cherished member of the family, a true friend, and a gentle soul whose paw prints will forever remain etched in the hearts of those who loved you.
