Zach was born in Spokane, WA and raised in Lakewood. He passed peacefully at his home in Redmond, WA. As a child, he traveled with his family, when his father was stationed in the Philippines and later in Germany. Zach graduated from Clover Park High School in Lakewood, class of 1974. He moved to Bothell in 1979 and began his 30-year career as a cable splicer with GTE – Verizon, retiring in 2009.
Zach was known for his genuine kindness and social nature, his hearty laugh, playful humor and booming cheers at kids’ and grandkids’ sports events. He loved to travel, go fishing, cook, and barbeque, listen to music, and armchair coaching of Seattle sports teams.
Zach is survived by his wife of 39 years Evelyn, children Erin, Alissa, Colin, grandchildren Hayden, Willow, Rowen, and son-in-law Vince.
