But Zhubin could not sustain his struggle indefinitely. He was well aware of his condition; that it was incurable, that it was terminal. On May 11, 2002 he took his own life. Zhubin was 21 years old.
Zhubin's cousin Ziba wrote: ''I love Zhubin so very much. He may not have seemed perfect to the outside world, but in my eyes he was. He was the best friend, cousin and person that I could ever have wished for, and I am eternally grateful that he was part of my life.'' Inspired by Zhubin's hopeful and gentle philosophy of people helping people, coupled with a profound understanding of the effects on a family living with a child with special needs, The Zhubin Foundation was created in May, 2003 as a tribute to an exceptional human being and to all families who prevail.
