Eliezer “Chef Ziggy” Albino Segui

“Dear PoPville,

I believe you posted the original GoFundMe campaign and story on PoPville. All very sad. No cause of death provided.”

The sad update:

“It is with a very heavy heart that I deliver news of Eliezer “Chef Ziggy” Albino Segui’s passing last week. He will be sorely missed by his community.

Those of us so deeply impacted by Eliezer would like to get in touch with his family. If you are able to help us make that connection, please reach out via this GoFundMe.

I can say that, when I last saw him in April, he was all smiles, doing exactly what he loved: sharing his food, humor, and culture with others in DC.”

There was a small gathering in his honor at Columbia Heights Plaza yesterday.
