Zachary's obituary

Zachary Ryan Benson passed away on June 22, 2025, in Riverside, California. He was 40 years old.

Born on May 31, 1985, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Zachary brought a spirit of adventure and compassion into the world from the very beginning. His life was marked by movement and exploration—he was a wanderer at heart, never staying in one place for too long. This restless energy led him down many paths, each one shaped by his deep desire to connect with others and make a difference wherever he went.

Zachary had a natural talent for building things—whether it was with his hands or through the relationships he nurtured along the way. He found joy in helping people and often offered his time and skills to those in need. His generosity left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to cross his path.

A devoted family man, Zachary cherished time spent with loved ones. His loyalty and warmth were constants in an ever-changing world. Among his closest companions was his beloved dog Charlie, with whom he shared countless hours of play and companionship.

Though his journey ended too soon, Zachary’s memory lives on in the hearts of those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort and peace to all who mourn his passing.
