Known for his gentle spirit, quick wit, and ability to make anyone feel welcome, he was truly the life of the party wherever he went.
Zachary was a passionate bowler and active participant in local leagues, where he formed many friendships and lasting memories. His steady patience, competitive spirit, and sense of fun made him a favorite both on and off the lanes.
He is survived by his loving wife, Alicia; his children, Josh and Riley; his mother, Cheryl; his sister, Caitlin; and his nephews, Ezekiel and Enzo. He is preceded in death by his father, Kenneth. Zachary will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
