Mr. Zachary was a 1992 graduate of Franklin High School. He was a member of Laborer's Local 110 out of St. Louis and had worked for Pernikoff Construction Co. for many years. He was a member of the Catholic faith. Ryan was an avid Harley rider, loved hunting and fishing, and was a big NASCAR fan. He really enjoyed hanging out with his family and friends, and was a farm boy at heart.
Funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Sunday at Buchanan & Cody Funeral Home in Jacksonville, with burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Franklin.
