He lived mostly in Colorado, then moved to Farmington, New Mexico and Las Vegas, Nevada before settling in Tucson after the death of his wife Barbara. He held several different types of jobs over the years, but his love of auto mechanics led him to open his own shop in Las Vegas – Zach’s Desert Auto. When he retired to Tucson, he continued to work both full and part time at Auto Zone passing his knowledge on to a younger generation.

Zach’s passions included fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family, friends, and dogs. He was a quiet man with a great sense of humor.
