Click to enlarge GENE SIMMONS Family Tribute
From: Fernando De Narvaerz
Posted: October 8, 2008

My name is Fernando De Narvaerz. I Live in Colombia South America. I've been a Gene fan since 1978. I have a KISS Tribute Band called KISZ where I used to play Peter, but now I play the Powerful and Attractive member of KISS - Gene.

In 2002 my first child was born. I didn’t want kids in the beginning so I had to choose a beautiful name for her. There were many options, but Gene had a lovely girl named SOPHIE. What a lovely name. So I called my girl SOFIA which is SOPHIE in Spanish. Two year later, I had a Boy. Gene had a boy named NICHOLAS, so I named my son NICOLAS which is NICHOLAS in Spanish. I wanted to have a SOFIA and NICOLAS just like Gene has. I also have a beautiful wife named ADRIANA and after 14 years I'm still crazy about her.

We watch the TV series "GENE SIMMONS Family Jewels" and when Gene's family appears I tell my kids "Look! Those are Gene's kids and you’re named after them". They love to see them. My kids like to watch "GENE SIMMONS Family Jewels" so they can see that their dad is not the only Crazy Dad in The world - there is another major Crazy Rockstar Dad in the world. GENE SIMMONS.

GENE SIMMONS has been my role model in Bussiness, as a person, performer, artist, rock legend and life hero in my life. Needless to say I read all his Books, have all his videos, collect his original basses and I have a huge amount of KISS memorabilia. I’ve seen KISS live around the world about 35 times. I met Gene twice, in Florida 1995 and in Australia on the Farewell Tour.

Click to enlarge I work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I don’t like vacation. Im a Professional Graphic Designer, and I Designed a Cartoons called LOS ZUMBIS that have appeared in 36 newspapers in 14 countries.

When my baby SOFIA girl, had her first Birthday Party, I did a TOON LIVE Show for her, inspired in the KISS Live Show, with all the sound and effects that I have for my KISZ Tribute Band. People loved. People started calling me to do the show for them. Nowadays I have a Live Entertainment company for Kids called "EL SHOW DE LOS ZUMBIS" and we do about 100 shows a month. About a year ago I sold a Franchise. Yes, thanks to SOFIA, the inspiration of KISS, and the GENE SIMMONS advice in his books.

So this letter is to say thanks the man who has enriched my life for more than 30 years. Thank You Gene for all the KISS Shows, KISS cds, KISS DVD’s, KISS Merchandising, KISS everything, a KISS life, and thanks for showing me part of your personal life in your various TV programs and TV appereances. My Gene and KISS passion has enriched my life. Thank You GENE SIMMONS. You deserve all the love, your beautiful family and the passion from your fans and everything you’ve got in your life. That’s why I dedicate my DE NARVAEZ family to you, the only one in the world the GENE SIMMONS FAMILY TRIBUTE.
