Memories of Pedro Zamora

BEAUTY IN THE PUREST FORM

Alexander Feb 01, 2012

I learned of Pedros story years ago. living his life so freely openly ( to t he end) altered the way individuals view HIV & Aids.. and it aslo spoke MASSES about his courage as a person. I see a beauty in him that has been absent on this planet for quite sometime. His passion for education to teens and adults through his speeches & educating by allowing others to view his life and death is one of the most selfless acts of kidness that claims beauty of another realm. on top of being stunningly handsome, his soul was just as beautiful. I love you Pedro and you will live on in me for an eternity. Rest well beautiful.

RIP Pedro

After watching the movie and MTV tribute dedicated to Pedro, I was very touched and emotional. I've never heard of Pedro until this moment. When he was alive and doing all those goodness, I was just a wee child. So I'm glad, even after 17yrs, I got the chance to learn about Pedro, his story, his love for people, his ambition, his ability to draw people and make them fall in love with him. I hope that his legacy shall forever rain among us. I hope his courageous acts and his unselfish need to help other will be a source of inspiration for many generations to come. Thank you Pedro, you are indeed a butterfly in a mist x

Remembering Pedro Zamora 17 years later. RIP Pedro.

A true inspiration!

I've seen "Real World to San Francisco" in 1994 when I was 14 years old. I was so inlove with Pedro, with his joy and his willing to share the life with others.

No I'm almost 31, being HIV positive and I hope I'll find the power to do for others what Pedro did so well.

Lots of support and good wishes to you.

Heroic

Pedro Zamora was a hero. He has saved so many lives and will continue to do so because he fought to educate. Knowledge is power and that's a gift he gave so many. It's unbelievable to think how much he achieved in just 22 years and I'm sure I'm not the first to be inspired by Pedro's story to fight for what I believe in.

A real Angel

I cant believe I just heard about Pedro´s story two day ago...we are in 2011. Since I saw his movie I have not been able to take him out of my mind. I researched about him, saw all his videos on you tube, and that even mad it worst, just realizing that he was such a great guy broke my heart into pieces. What a wonderful and brave human being, a real inspiration to all of us and to many generations to come. "Pedrito, descansa en paz, gracias por el tiempo que nos regalaste, nunca te olvidaremos y nos veremos en un futuro Dios primero"

What a great man

Chris Sena Jan 26, 2011

I just watched the real world series and the movie and have been incredibly moved by this great man. It's a true testament to his life that his work still has such power to inspire over 16 years after his passing. May his spirit live on.

A True Legend

Suliman Sep 15, 2010

Being from the UK, I'd not really heard of Pedro before. I came across the movie of his life as a recommendation by an online DVD rental service just this last week and ordered it. The film was so touching it reduced me to tears. After some googling, I'd read about Pedro's work and then just had to watch all 20 episodes of the original "The Real World" series from 1994, which is still available online (as was the MTV tribute that aired after his death). It was riveting TV, but a little weird to think that this drama played out 16 years ago!! The honesty, integrity and good humour that Pedro showed was just so heartwarming. What a wonderful man he was, and what a privilege for all those who knew him. As a gay doctor working in the field of HIV / AIDS, it stuck me just how successful Pedro was in communicating his message in a way that we the medical profession often fail to do. Although I never met him, I feel an emotional connection with Pedro. Hopefully, through his legacy, others will get to discover the life and work of this lovely human being.

can't believe i still cry

john alex Jul 17, 2010

just watched the tribute to dear Pedro again and i still get upset and angry that he died so, so young. my memories of him on the real world are of awe at his spirit and courage, respect for his family and friends and of having a massive crush on the cutest cuban i'd ever seen. They say one person, one idea can change the world, the Zamora family must be so proud that Pedro was one of those persons.
