Idris Zupa

Idris A. Zupa, 31, of Denver, died Monday January 2, 2006. An accomplished artist in pottery and sculpture, he also enjoyed literature, and music from classical and jazz to punk-rock and ska.

He is survived by his mother, Christine, 60, of Sanbornton NH, his sister Yazmin, 38, brothers Daoud, 35, and Ravi, 28, and Hanz, 21, a nephew Anand, 7 and aunt Meg, 55.
