Zachary was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and uncle. He shared nine beautiful years of marriage with his wife, Alicia, whom he met doing something he loved—bowling.

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.
