Ploesser, Zachary, Fri. Dec. 21, 2018 Beloved son of Carl (Sue) and Jill (nee Reinert) Ploesser, dear brother of Ryan (Audrey) Ploesser and Kelly (Andrew) Guelker. Dear uncle of Lorelai and Cora, Loving grandson of Loretta Ploesser, our dear nephew, cousin and friend.
As a child, Zach was known as the phone book. He would amaze everyone by reciting full addresses and phone numbers of friends and family by memory. He would even memorize license plates; a trip to the store usually started with him telling us who was there just by driving around the parking lot. Growing up with one brother led to many playful days of acting like the greatest wrestlers of all time, sitting back playing video games, or letting their imaginations run wild outdoors.
The most important thing to Zach was his family. His large family meant the world to him and he cherished all the memories. He had a knack for being able to recall all the small details from vacations, family outings, and parties. He never missed an opportunity to relive those moments with his family. Zach is an example of a life cut too short. His passion for the little things, willingness to help, and crazy laughter will be missed by all but never forgotten.=
