Zachary Michael Lovato

Forever In Our Hearts

Zachary Michael Lovato was born April 23, 1996 and passed away March 3, 2026 unexpectedly in a car accident.

Zac devoted himself to everyone he loved and cared about, he thought of so much more than himself. He was a lover of the mountains, nature, taking pictures of flowers, and a carefree man, he worshipped God. He loved spending time with family and hanging out for hours, he never was one to leave anyone behind. Zac was very grateful to have the opportunity to be a father figure and the way it changed his life. He found joy in anything and felt deeply about everything around him, he loved his family and friends. Zac was proud of how much he recognized his thoughts and emotions. Zac was to join the military and planned on it this next year, to fulfill his dreams. He filled our lives with joy, laughter, safety and countless memories that will be cherished forever. Though his time on earth was short he will have eternity in heaven with his loved ones and loving mother, Jeana.
