Zachary Wardleigh

Zachary Robert "Zak" Wardleigh, age 38, passed away on May 3, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born on April 7, 1987, in Ogden, Utah, Zak brought light and laughter to those around him throughout his life.

A graduate of Eldorado High School, Zak was known for his fearless spirit and generous heart. He had a deep love for adventure and the outdoors-riding street motorcycles and ATVs was more than a hobby; it was a passion that often led him to the sand dunes where he felt most alive. Whether tearing through desert trails or simply enjoying time with loved ones, Zak embraced life with energy and enthusiasm.

Zak cherished spending time with his girlfriend Jessica Kiser, who stood by him through life's highs and lows. He also shared a close bond with his mother Jodi Wardleigh, nephew Jaden Wardleigh, niece Zehida Wardleigh, and many friends from all walks of life. His ability to connect with people was remarkable-he made friends easily and left lasting impressions wherever he went.

He is survived by his girlfriend Jessica Kiser; mother Jodi Wardleigh; father Daniel "Danny" Coggins; brother Tyson Wardleigh; grandfather LaVerl Child; aunts Debbie Larsen and Tiffany Snider; nephew Jaden Wardleigh; niece Zehida Wardleigh; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Zak was preceded in death by his biological father Roger Wardleigh; grandmothers Donna Child and Carol Child; along with other beloved family members.

Known for his humor, kindness, and loyalty, Zak was always ready to lend a hand-especially to those in need. He regularly helped his elderly neighbor by carrying groceries, taking out trash bins, or assisting with any task they needed. These small acts of service reflected the big heart behind his bold personality.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Jessica Kiser for her unwavering support of Zak throughout their journey together. Special thanks also to Nick Garrot for his help and support in making arrangements following Zak's passing.
