Zachary Michael Flanery, 26, passed away Wednesday, January 8, 2020, after a life-long illness of Cystic Fibrosis, an illness Zach never let slow him down. Zach was born on February 3, 1993, the son of Michael and Jenny Flanery.
Zach graduated from Walkerville High School in 2011. He was newly married to Gaby Foster Flanery in 2019. He was an outdoor adventure seeking man. His greatest joys came from being in the woods hunting and fishing. When he wasn't outside, he could be found in his chair playing video games. Zach will always be remembered for his quick wit and his ability to make people laugh and feel special. His passion ran deep, which gave him a strong-willed personality. Most of all, Zachary had an incredible love for his family and friends. He was so proud of being an uncle and told everyone about his nieces and nephews. He lived his life to the fullest and will leave behind a void that will never be filled.
Zach is survived by: his wife, Gaby Flanery; parents, Michael and Jenny Flanery; sisters, Tabitha (Joe) Thommen and Kayleen Flanery; nephews, Joseph and Frankie; nieces, Lexi, Kenzie, and Faith; father and mother-in-law, Glenn and Gisele Foster; and sister-in-law, Simone (Jon) Billing.
A celebration of Zach's life will be held at 2:00 PM, Saturday, January 25, 2020, at the Fox Barn Market and Winery, 500 S. 18th Ave. Shelby MI 49455.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (cff.org) or the Rock CF Foundation (letsrockcf.org).
