Zach had just completed his junior year at Somerset Berkley Regional High School, where he was not only known for his dedication on the soccer field as the team's goalie but also for his vibrant personality. His love for Manchester United and his passion for video games and building with Legos were just a few of the things that made him unique. Zachary’s black belt in karate was a testament to his dedication and perseverance. He treasured time spent with his family and friends, always bringing joy and laughter to those around him.
Along with his parents, he leaves behind his loving sister, Emily Deane of Somerset, as well as his maternal grandparents, Thomas and Nancy Newman of Somerset and his paternal grandparents, William and Janet Deane of Florida. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.
