Zachary Michael Maristch
January 17, 2001 - April 16, 2021

"Zac was always a respectful kid, from the 1st day I met him. He was also a lot of fun, always stopped to talk to me(when going in or out of Gram-mom Dana's house) and I will cherish our talks. You were a special kid and I will miss you!!!! My heart breaks for the entire family, I am so sorry for your Loss? Always in my heart...Margie Meyer"

"Drew, Russell and I are so very sorry to hear about the loss of Zach. We will always remember Zach as a kind and sweet boy. Our prayers are for your comfort at this time for Zach is truly in a better place. ? "

"Zachary was full of life! He was free-spirited. He loved life! Recently he skate boarded from his house in Jersey to my house in Philly. I couldn't believe it so I took a picture of the skateboard. Zachary loved skateboarding! Before getting his driver's license he was always with his skateboard in his hand. I remember him picking me up at work and we stopped to get gas in Langhorne. Well we were pulling away and he forgot to take the nozzle out. We laughed as we pulled away. My grandson was always there for me when I needed him most. He would take me to work and pick me up in the morning. All my coworkers got to know him because he would always speak kindly to them even if he didn't know them. He would say I 'm Zach Dana 's grandson. He did my food shopping and took me to the vet with Carmie. We would always have long talks when driving me to work and picking me up. I would always tell him how much I loved him! Now I will hold on to and cherish forever the beautiful memories my Zachary has given me from the very first minute he was born. Fly high my grandson! I will see you again for sure! All my love to you always!??"

"I love you Zach ? I remember the first day we became friends, we never left eachother side. You were my best fiend. We did so much together , even failed test together , thinking we studied ? in going to miss you forever bro ? Our memories are history."

"Drew - Truly devastated to hear about the passing of your beloved son. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time, can't even imagine what you may be feeling at this time. God bless his soul and may you find peace, comfort, and all the support you need in the days to come. Hardik D. AB Family at PH"

"Dear Drew and Helen, It is difficult to understand why God would take your child/grandchild, Zachary, from you. We can only pray that God will be there for you during the difficult path forward. We sincerely hope that you will find peace in the memories you shared with Zachary. With great sympathy, John and Rita Maristch"

"Drew, I?m so very sorry for your loss. There are no words comforting enough. Reading all of the beautiful tributes for such a fine young man. I will forever regret not having gotten to know him over these last few years. I truly missed out. ? Rest in heaven Zachary. "

"We are all heart broken at Camden Catholic. Zach was a bigger than life personality within our CCHS family. He had such a way about him that he had just about every secretary and lunch server wrapped around his finger! He was a delight for sure and will always be remembered fondly and lovingly. Please be assured of our most sincere prayers.......Fr. Joe"

"I?ll never forget the way Zach made me feel. His energy was so strong and vibrant, it was almost impossible to be down around him. He always made sure you were good and could crack a joke anytime hahaha. We didn?t hang out as often as we should have, but when he came around it was always the best time!!! His ability to walk in a room and leave with 5 new friends always made me happy, when I brought it up he said ?Life is short you have to make as many friends as possible? and he is soooo right. He inspired me in so many different ways and I always made sure he knew that. I wish so badly we could ?catch up? one more time like we always said we would:( I?m so thankful for our friendship and the time we got to spend together. Zach you are so loved, we will miss everything about you forever. "

"never have I met someone who treated me more like a brother than a friend. I really appreciated everything zack did for me. Very selfless person and cared so much for everyone in his life. God bless him "

"Zach and I weren?t close but we had many conversations in middle school and high school. He was insanely smart. I always envied him in elementary school because all of our teachers absolutely adored him. He was a genius. Zach, I know you?re in heaven. I?m praying for your family, let them know you are still with them and love them. Until we meet again in paradise, rest easy??"

"You don?t know me but I?m a friend of Susan Demarco Armel , I?m sending our families condolences. May he Rest In Peace in Gods kingdom. "

"Zack was always so special. He was the first person to teach me that it?s okay to not know an answer in class. I still to this day think of him whenever I?m raising my hand in college. Such a beautiful soul that will watch over us always. fly high bean."

"Zachary was the most adorable big brown eyed baby boy. Watching him grow up and the amazing bond he had with his father was always very heartwarming to me. Zachary and Drew were a big part of our lives and it?s hard to think of this as real. Zachary was smart, hilarious, handsome and extremely kind. He made friends wherever he went. He was adventurous and free spirited. I?m glad I got to spend a few hours with him at the last Alzheimer?s walk. We got to talk about life and the struggles and where he saw himself. I never will understand why he was taken soo young and can only pray he will watch over his family. We love you Zach. Forever in our hearts. "

"Zach always lit up the room. I fought with him in grade school like he was my own brother (we would get in trouble for competing for the Captain Underpants books). On Twin Day, he dressed up as me and jump roped around the classroom all day. He was the life of the party no matter what, and never failed to make our class laugh. RIP Zach????"

"Zach was one of a kind !! When my daughter took Zach down to Wildwood to meet me for the first time I never seen her so happy around another man like that before, really it was actually the first time she had the courage to bring a boyfriend around me so I knew she was in love but I couldn?t believe she was with someone like Zach , he was so outgoing and didn?t care what anyone would think of him , so different then my daughter who was shy and worried about what everyone thinks about her at all times , Zach made my daughter realize there was so much more out there for her and to go and explore , my daughter would always be embarrassed of certain things people would do but with Zach she didn?t care , there were times he would go up to complete strangers and say a random name and act like he knows them and he would make them think they actually did know him from somewhere , I would look at my daughter and she didn?t care at all she just always laughed whatever he did no matter what , she was no longer embarrassed and he took her out of her shell . Zach would come to my home in South Philly and wait here until my daughter was done working and pick her up or he would drop her off food or whatever she wanted at any time she asked , every time he came over he would play with Vina and her eyes would light up like no other , he got so comfortable with me that he actually started making fun of my South Philly slang and come in my house and say what?s up (cuzzzz) and when he was leaving he would say see ya later (cuzzz) I would say to my wife , is this kid really that nuts and making fun of me lol , one of the best ones was when me him and Vina took a walk to the store one night and he said to me he can?t understand how people live like this , I just looked at him and said watch what you say around Destinee?s friends because some people may take that personal lol , the time my daughter had with Zach she cherished and this tragic event is crushing everyone that has ever spent time with Zach but Zach will be looking over everyone and make us all get stronger from this and guide everyone through the difficult times we are having , I know Zach and Destinee were inseparable and at some times it was too much but now I know he will be looking over for the rest of her life and she will have him guiding her throughout her life to make sure she enjoys her life to the fullest , RIP cuzzzzz I?ll never forget the times we spent together , one day we will meet again and we will be (Chill bo Swaggin )"

"My heartfelt condolences to all of Zach's family & friends during this extremely difficult time . His positive , fun loving , and vibrant energy could never be matched . May he Rest In Peace .?"

"There aren?t many people in this world that stay with you even when they?re gone. Zach had such a way about him. When I met him, he reminded me of a thunder storm... flashes of light and very present but fascinating. With his storm he always shared his rainbow... he made you feel loved and received. He cared so much about the little things. He knew how to calm the storm with just his radiant energy or a laugh. Zach... you will forever be a sky full of stars!! Fly with the angels sweet, beautiful boy! I will always take you with me in my heart ?"

"I only knew Zach for a short time while working at wawa together. What a kind young soul. I'm going to miss you buddy. Shalom friend"

"Zachary had a truly loving and caring heart. He was always there to lend a helping hand or a kind word to say to someone. He will be deeply missed by his entire family. He will leave us all with a void in our lives. I am sure though he will be looking down on us and watching over us. He is now with his pop pops and memom safe under their wings. I love you my grandson and I will miss you so very much!?"

"Zach made everyone a priority. His generous, tender heart will be greatly missed. It was a profound blessing to know him & teach him. My prayers are with you during this time."

"Drew from my deepest part of my being, I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a loving and caring person from the time he was little. Will keep you and your beautiful family in my prayers."

"My deepest condolences to you Shanna and your family during this tragic time. My heart breaks for you ?? ?"

"My deepest condolences for the loss of your beautiful son! May he RIP! He is now our angel watching over us! "

"From the small amount of time I knew Zach, I felt his love. His love for family, friends, animals, music. He had the type of energy that radiated throughout a room and made everyone and anyone feel loved. He cared about the things that most people ignore. He was truly an angel on Earth. I look back on the days I got to talk to Zach and every conversation started with him asking me how I was doing. I wish I knew how he was doing. I like to think that God takes young souls from us to help them find peace somewhere else. This place wasn?t enough for Zach. He always wanted to know the deeper things in life, he wanted to explore, to find the next adventure. I hope he finds his greatest adventure in paradise. I feel eternally grateful to have crossed paths with such an amazing, caring, sweet, loving soul. I will miss him dearly, but I will carry him with me forever. Rest in paradise Zach. You were loved. "

"Love and prayers to the loving family and friends of Zach, and Eternal Memory for this cherished young man. "

"Prayers and comfort to the family ????"

"The world wasn't ready for this beautiful soul. Always had a smile on his face the few times I saw him. My favorite was when he served me and my family at the turning point. All smiles and such a hard worker. Rest easy Zach. "

"I was honored to have Zach call me Uncle Jack he had such a kind heart and a larger then life personality. He was taken from this world much to soon. Zach I will always keep you close to my heart. Thank you for letting me be part of your life and I will never forget you. "

"Zach was a very special person. He would always want everyone to be happy no matter what. He was always interested in what I was doing or had to say and my own interests. One of the most selfless people I have ever crossed paths with. May he rest peacefully. "
