Zachary Conely

Zachary O’Brien Conely

A life so young released to Heaven…

Left on earth, we wonder “why?”

But some are sent among us briefly…

Some have spirits meant to fly.

Zachary O'Brien Conely passed away Sunday, July 27, 2014. He was born January 17, 1991. Zachary attended BCISD but obtained his GED through Gary Job Corps following a license in landscaping, and most recently he was employed as a Journeyman Electrician.

Zach, the baby of the bunch, always had a smile on his face and was the one to make you laugh even when you wanted to cry. He loved to fish but his passion was music. He dreamed of becoming a songwriter and composer. He loved his entire family. His older brother, sister and first cousin, Iecia, were his best friends. Zachary was outgoing and he never met a stranger.

He is survived by his mother Renee Sanders Bird and stepfather George Bird (Johnson City); father Donald Conely (Killeen); brother Eric Conely (Burnet); sister Brittany Conely (Dallas); grandmothers Texas Smith (Burnet) and Fannie Conely (Killeen); great grandparents Richard and Dorothy Sanders and Lucille Foster (Burnet); aunt Samanitha Smith and uncle Troy Bell (Austin); aunts Janice Banks (Marble Falls); Necole Conely, Sandra Miles, Lisa Allen (Austin) and Betty Ann Conely, uncles David and Warren Conely (Marble Falls); Jeffery Conely (Brownwood) and Ortan Haywood (Bastrop). He is also survived by a host of relatives and friends.
