It’s with broken hearts and boundless love that we celebrate the unforgettable life of Zach Bowlin—born June 3, 1982, and passed away on April 19, 2025. Zach wasn’t just the life of the party—he was the party. A “Zach of all trades,” he was a man of many talents, endless charm, and a spirit too vibrant to ever be forgotten.
- With a magnetic personality and a signature crooked smile, Zach had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged. He navigated even the most difficult social circles with ease, blending lighthearted humor with an innate intelligence that made his presence both comforting and exhilarating. Wherever Zach went, laughter followed. He brought an electric energy into every room and a playful, lighthearted touch that made people feel instantly at ease.
- Zach had swag for days—in the “sexy and mowed it,” kind of way and surprisingly sweet dance moves that could light up any dance floor (especially for a white guy). He had a laugh that was contagious, a wit that kept you on your toes, and a heart that was always open.
- He was a fabulous father, a ride-or-die best friend, and the kind of guy who would show up unasked just to help you move, fix your car, or make you laugh on your worst day. His compassion knew no limits, and his willingness to help anyone, anytime, spoke volumes about the kind of man he was.
- To his family, Zach was everything—a loving son, grandson, brother, uncle, and cousin. He loved hard, lived loudly, and left an impact that will ripple through the lives he touched for generations.
- Though Zach left us far too soon, he lived more in his 42 years than most could in a lifetime. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and legendary memories. Rest easy, Zach. Your spark lives on in all of us, WE LOVE YOU BIG!!
- Zach is survived by his parents, Ed and Kelly; daughters, Lilly and Fiona; sisters, Vanessa and Brooke (Brent); fiancée, Nicole and her son Camron; grandparents, Garold Cox and Sondra Weaver (Mike); and many cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews.
- A Celebration of Zach’s Life will be held from 11:00am-2:00pm on Saturday, April 26 at the Cozine Life Events Center. Remarks will begin right at 11:00am.
