Zachary Pulsipher Obituary

1998 ~ 2011
ST. GEORGE, UT-Zachary Thomas Pulsipher passed away at his home on December 11, 2011. He was born on July 27, 1998 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mark and Wendy Pulsipher. The first eight years of Zach's life was spent in Greensboro, NC and the last five years were spent in St. George, UT.
Zach was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as the Deacon's Quorum President for seven months, and this calling brought him a great amount of joy. Whether it was bringing in the neighbor's garbage cans or taking care of their cats while they were away, Zach enjoyed helping other people. He also had a vibrant personality that brought smiles to everyone's faces. Zach was a faithful home teacher, with his father as his companion. Zach both touched and brought joy to those whom he home taught.
One of Zach's favorite hobbies was drumming. He was an accomplished musician with an amazing talent. He also enjoyed golfing, especially with his father they cherished their time together. Zach earned his black belt in Karate on July 15, 2010. Zach was an excellent student and performed well in all his classes. His teachers always had the best things to say about him. Zach loved his family, and his family loves him. He loved when his older siblings came home to visit, and the times we went on family vacations together. His family was a great source of happiness to him.
Zach filled our lives with incredible joy. He always made us laugh. We were so excited about the young man he was becoming. We were so happy to be together with him. Our family was complete when he was with us. We all have special memories of him that we will carry in our hearts forever. We look forward to being together as a family someday, never to be apart again. We love you Zach, always and forever.
Zach is survived by his parents: Mark and Wendy Pulsipher; and his siblings: Chelsea Pulsipher McCleve (Jeff), Aaron Mark Pulsipher (Katie), and Rachel Pulsipher, and his adorable niece, Brooklynn McCleve. His grandmother, Sally Payne, and his grandfather, Harlan Pulsipher, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive him.

I was one of the lunch ladies at Zach's school last year. He was such a funny guy and so smart. Sometimes he was a little sassy, but he definately stood out among the other students. I admired him for his confidence. I'm so sad that he is gone. I pray that these sad times will gradually give way and be replaced by happy memories of the good times you shared in the months to come.

Mark, Wendy, Rachel, Aaron and Chelsea, we are so grateful for the memories we have of Zach! He always had the most unique and crazy hats at his band concerts; we looked forward to seeing him up there on stage having a blast with the rest of the percussionists! We loved his sense of humor when he and Christian would get together-they would act like monkeys on the tramp or play spy games! It was incredible to watch them grow from little boys into young men! Zach touched so many lives in his time here-thank you for sharing him with our family and so many others. We love you. Frank, Jen, Joseph, Natalie, Savannah and Christian Spangler

Wendy, you may not remember me, but this is Bill Hunt from Questar. I am very sad to hear about your son Zach passing away. Janice Worsely, Morris Jackson, Tim Ross, Todd Cassity, Linda Aghdassi and I were just talking about you last week at lunch. You bring a smile to our face whenever we talk about the good old days. I am sure that your son had the same zeal for life that you demonstrated while working with us. I hope and pray that you can find some joy and comfort in this difficult time.

Sincerely, Bill Hunt
