It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of one of our colleagues, Supervisory Transportation Security Officer Wallace Zambrana, of Manhattan, NY on May 9, 2019 at the age of 61 after courageously battling a long illness. Wallace is survived by his wife Maria, son Andrew and his sister, Myrna Rodriguez. Wallace began his TSA service in February, 2006 and quickly advanced through the ranks, attaining the rank of Supervisory Transportation Security Officer in November, 2012. Wallace worked his entire TSA career at LaGuardia International Airport where he proudly served on every shift and at all of our screening checkpoints. Always a gentleman, Wallace was a positive influence on all of us. He was highly respected by all for his professionalism and was greatly appreciated for the care he always showed to those officers entrusted to his charge. Wallace genuinely enriched the lives of all who knew and served with him. Funeral details will be forthcoming once the arrangements are complete. The Employee Assistance Program is available to all TSA personnel desiring the use of their services and can be called at 1-800-222-0364.
The wearing of the issued TSA mourning band on the TSA Shield has been authorized by the LGA FSD through the internment of STSO Zambrana.
