September 25, 1954 - July 17, 2021
Simon Zalman, 66, of Moss Bluff, LA, died at 2:44 PM on Saturday, July 17, 2021 in a local care facility.
Mr. Zalman was born September 25, 1954 in El Campo, TX, where he graduated from El Campo High School in 1973. He was a 1978 graduate of Texas A&M, where he received his degree as an Electrical Engineer. He lived eleven years in Nederland, TX, before moving to Moss Bluff in 1990 and worked twenty-seven years for Louisiana Pigment. He attended St. Theodore Catholic Church. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. Mr. Zalman’s true joy in life was for coaching baseball. He helped to organize Blue Claw Baseball, where he coached various age groups throughout the years. “Coach Z” as he was known, loved spending his time on the diamond, not only training kids how to play, but being a role model and leader in their lives. He also enjoyed playing video games, especially MVP Baseball on the PlayStation for many years. Mr. Zalman also played fantasy football and baseball throughout the years and he always enjoyed food and rarely didn’t go back for seconds. He was a great husband, father, and grandfather and will be missed dearly.
