"Oh Zach... I know if you had one more chance here on earth, you would do things different. You left this world the same day as my sister. I know you two will have a laugh or two up there talking about me and my crazy ways. I'm gonna miss you kiddo. Please give my sis a hug for me. Until I see you again. RIP"
In loving memory of
Zachary Mark Lutzke
August 15, 1987 - June 29, 2021

On June 28, 2014, Zach married Kayte (Quaintance) and they later divorced. Zach was an avid reader and loved to show his artistic side through his drawings. He loved to go fishing, hiking, snowboarding and playing sports. He cherished time spent at the lake with family. Above all, Zach loved spending time with his son, Keegan.
Keegan was Zach's greatest pride and joy in life. Zach had an infectious laugh and great sense of humor, with a loving and sensitive side as well. He was protective of his family, loyal and was always thinking of others before himself.
