Zachary Ray Borland

Zachary Ray Borland, of Orlando FL, passed away on August 28, 2017 in Orlando, FL. He will always be remembered as a loving son, brother, friend, and coworker, to all that knew and loved him. He was born on April 30, 1983 in Greensboro, NC to Jeff and Polly Borland. Zach was a graduate of the University of North Florida and was an avid fan of Alabama football. He dearly loved his family and his friends. He spent almost 9 years as a dedicated officer for the City of Grand Prairie Police Department and for the last 2 years he worked for Schindler Elevator Corporation as a New Installation Superintendent. He loved spending time with his family and friends more than anything. Zach would communicate, in some way, almost every day with his family and inner circle of friends. He enjoyed watching all kinds of sports but none more than Alabama football. Zach will be missed mostly for his amazing sense of humor, love of life, and his big heart.
