With lots of tears and ending of the hardest week, my husband Carlos Zapien passed away this morning. He fought so hard and so long (more than four years) with Clear Cell Sarcoma cancer that he is no longer in pain. We focused on having good days, creating new normals, and being thankful for every good thing we could. We lived so much life in the last four years and cancer days were just speed bumps. Family vacations, movie nights, kids’ practices and games, family days and enjoying the little things (even hospital visits we made into date days when we could) made us happy. Thank you for everyone for all the prayers, messages, visits and love for Carlos and our family.

Who was Carlos Zapien?

Carlos Zapien’s passion for cars ignited the early stages of his automotive journey, which began with the establishment of his own shop, “CJ’s Wiring.” Six years ago, he embarked on a mission to wire his own engine harness for his 90 CRX DX, which had undergone a conversion to MPFI.

Faced with the challenge of finding a clean harness for his specific car, Carlos took matters into his own hands and set out to create a solution. As word of his skill and dedication spread, he found himself approached by others in need of custom wiring solutions for their vehicles.

Each harness he meticulously crafted was a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted to ensure precision and reliability. Before and after each pin was crimped, Carlos checked every lead for continuity, guaranteeing top-notch quality.

Throughout his wiring work, you would discover only one solder joint, which was reserved for grounding shielded wires where applicable. While Carlos strived to source all brand-new connectors, he encountered challenges as some had been discontinued and were increasingly hard to find.

Nevertheless, he remained committed to using at least 90% brand-new plugs in his harnesses. To stand behind his work and instill confidence in his customers, all of Carlos’s harnesses were backed by a 14-day warranty. His dedication to quality and innovation in the realm of custom wiring solutions left an indelible mark on those who sought his expertise, and his legacy continues to serve as a testament to his commitment to the automotive community.
