Zelian Ashbury Free-Shaw

Our beautiful spirit, Zelian Ashbury Free Shaw (Zel), 31, was taken from this world on November 2, 2024.

He is survived by his mother, Ananda Harness, his father, Tobias Parker, his grandmother, Leeann Shaw Harness, his brother, Augustus Ellis, his uncle Che Harness, his special Aunt, Mary Shaw Holmberg, family members across the states, and many, many friends.

Zel graduated from Lakewood High School, and earned several certifications in mechanics from Warren Tech and Red Rocks Community College.

His passion was working on anything with a motor (including the family vacuum when he was 3) and he found joy and peace in the mountains riding in his Jeep or on a motorcycle, then stopping to camp and enjoy nature.

His family will host a Celebration of Life on Thursday, November 14th at Riley’s in Lakewood, CO.

A viewing will take place at Horan & McConaty, 3101 S. Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood, CO on Friday, November 15, from 4-7 p.m.
