Zechariah Josiah Berreth

From his earliest years, Zechariah’s big blue eyes and bright smile could light up a room. Kind and considerate, he had a gentle spirit that endeared him to those around him. He loved being outdoors and had a remarkable inquisitiveness about God’s natural world especially bugs and insects. He would share fascinating details that he had learned about them often using their scientific names. His creativity found expression in music and sketching/drawing. Whether exploring outside or creating something of his own, Zechariah brought curiosity, imagination, and a quiet sweetness to the world around him.

Zack and Cassidy met of all places online, and they hit it off immediately. They quickly became inseparable. Having only been together a few short months, they knew they had found their forever person. After a year, they married and lived an amazing life full of love and adventures. The couple had recently moved to Canton from Athens, TX.

Zack was homeschool educated and was employed at the Van Zandt Country Club maintaining the golf course there since April 2022. He was a caring, thoughtful young man who positively impacted many. His compassionate heart was evident in his actions as he reached out to and helped many who needed his assistance; including a few stray cats.

Zechariah is preceded in death by his sister, Amanda Berreth, and three grandparents: Milbert Berreth, Janet Berreth, and Alexander Waskiewicz.

Zack is survived by: his wife of three years, Cassidy Rosenbalm Berreth; his parents, James and Susan Berreth; his siblings, Emily Manning and husband Jonathon, Bethany Thompson and husband Joseph, Timothy Berreth and wife Hannah, Joshua Berreth and wife Kelsey, Melody Bunting and husband Joel, and Allison Berreth; his grandmother, Margaret Waskiewicz; a large extended family; and mother and father-in-law, Carrie and Kerry Calkins.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Eubank Funeral Home in Canton, TX on October 29, 2026, starting at 11:00am. A Committal Service will follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that individuals consider donating to FaithComesByHearing.com adding “In Memory of Zechariah Berreth” in the note section and/or contributing to an upcoming benefit tournament in honor of Zechariah Berreth at the Van Zandt Country Club.
