The son of Zebedee was an apostle, but in Mark and Matthew I don't remember reading who was Zebedee. Is he a relative of Mary or Joseph?

Isn't there something more to him other than he was the father of 2 apostles?

(Zeb′e·dee) - possibly from a Heb. root meaning “endow.”
Zebedee was the father of Jesus’ apostles James and John. (Matthew 4:21, 22; 10:2; 26:37; Mark 3:17; 10:35; Luke 5:10; John 21:2) Zebedee’s wife Salome is generally believed to have been the sister of Jesus’ mother Mary. This would mean that Zebedee was Jesus’ uncle by marriage, and James and John, Jesus’ cousins.—Matthew 27:56; Mark 15:40; John 19:25 -
Zebedee was in the fishing business on the Sea of Galilee and apparently did quite well with it, for there were hired men working with him. (Mark 1:16, 19, 20) His wife Salome was able to render material services to Jesus. (Mark 15:40, 41) So while there is no indication that Zebedee himself followed Christ, his family freely did so.—Matthew 20:20.
