Zachary held very physical jobs. He worked for Jonah Energy for one year as a lease operator; performed maintenance duties at the Sweetwater County Events Complex; operated a forklift for Boise Cascade; was a roustabout at WyuTex Energy; as well as a concrete finisher for R.C.I.
He enjoyed spending quality time with family at the cabin. Zachary loved hunting, fishing, and everything about the outdoors. Countless memories were made going on Razor rides with his brother Tanner, kicking back with a few cold Budweisers and reminiscing about their dad, Mike. He was a die hard Denver Broncos and Boomer Sooner Fan. Most of all, he loved to watch his children play sports and spending time with each and every one of them. His children were his world.
