Zackariah RATHWELL Obituary
August 4, 1992 - April 15, 2014
Thank you Zackariah James Rathwell. Words are not adequate to describe the pain we feel over the tragic loss of our amazing, talented, handsome and legendary Zack. Zackariah was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta by his loving parents Ronda-Lee and J. Bruce Rathwell. Zack touched and changed the lives of everyone he met, whether it was for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Zack loved sports, active in both rugby and hockey, he could often be found on the outdoor rink, shooting pucks with his buddies. Zack also loved to travel, he had many family trips, and one large trip to Europe and Iceland. Zack was active in the 18th Scout troop, receiving the Chief Scout Award. Zackariah graduated from Bishop Carroll with a victory lap under his belt. He took a break to work on his music before deciding to attend ACAD. He was finishing his first year, overwhelmed with homework, but he loved it. His first love and passion was his band, Zackariah and the Prophets. Their first EP was released to great success this past Saturday. His Mom and Ken, his step-father, will miss the sound of his guitar wafting through the air vents as they fell asleep. His friends will miss the music, the jamming, and his competitive spirit, which challenged and inspired them to be their best. He leaves behind his Mom and Dad; brother, Mason Bruce Rathwell; step- siblings, Vanessa and Lance Wesolowski; grandparents, Liz and Colin Acres, Bruce and Maureen Rathwell and Ruth J. Rathwell; aunts and uncles; his brothers in music, Barry Mason and Kyle Tenove; as well as countless friends, fans and family. Even in the face of this horrific tragedy, it gives us some comfort to know that Zack was with his brother-in- music, Josh Hunter, when this unfathomable event occurred. Our hearts and thoughts are with all the families who have been brought together as we grieve the loss of our children. The Memorial Service will be Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at Centre Street Church, 3900 - 2 Street N.E., Calgary at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, we request donations be made to the Zackariah James Rathwell Trust Fund at any RBC location. This will be used to honour Zack's memory through the establishment of a scholarship which will help other students pursue their dreams in the arts. To express condolences, please visit: www.mountainviewmemorial.ca. Arrangements entrusted to MOUNTAIN VIEW MEMORIAL GARDENS, FUNERAL HOME, RECEPTION CENTRE & CREMATORIUM, 1605 - 100 Street S.E. (GPS: 242013 - 100 Street S.E.) Calgary, AB. Phone 403-272-5555

I hope the closeness and love of family and friends will help you get through the holidays. I remember the words spoken at Zack's memorial and am trying to live day by day by his Zackness and philosophies. Such a fine profound young man. I am sure he is entertaining and playing his music in Heaven. When you are feeling down please remember the love of your friends and feel their embrace to help you through. Love Judy

While the memories that each person holds of Zack may vary slightly, there is on thing that we all know to be true. No matter where he went, Zack always left a positive impact on everyone who he came into contact with. As a fellow Carroll student, I had the pleasure and privilege of bumping into Zack on a number of different occasions, and I cannot honestly say my life would be the same had I not met him. Always concerned about those around him, Zack possessed an unmatched ability to make anyone and everyone smile or laugh until they cried. His compassion, goofy sense of humour, and his ultra-bright smile will be forever missed. Rest in Peace, Zack. You were taken far too early, yet we all know that you will always be there watching over us. <3

Dear Mason and all Zack's family,
I was saddened and shocked to hear the news of Zack's passing. Please know that you have been in my thoughts during this most difficult time. I remember fondly the years that I taught the boys at St. Gregory. I pray now that,with that with love and support of family and community, you will find peace and comfort. May memories of Zack bring you smiles through your tears. Sincerely, Janice Harte

I am a long time co worker of Zackariah' grandfather, Bruce. Although i did not know Zach, I was shocked to learn that my old pal's beloved oldest grandson had died so senselessly. Bruce and I talked over the years about our families and therefore his loss is felt deeply by me. My sincere condolences to you old friend and to your extended family.

Dear Ronda, Bruce and Mason,
Tears come each time I am reminded of your tragic loss. The first time I heard Zack's name was when he was 4 years old. Our son Ryan came home from preschool and said that Zack was his best friend in the whole world. "I love Zack", he said. Even as a little boy, he touched those who knew him. I have a photo of Zack with a big grin and his front tooth missing. That's how I will always think of him; a sweet little boy.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Dear Rathwell family,
Words cannot describe how sorry I am for your loss. Even though I have never met your son, I am the mother of a boy his age, who like Zack, is a musician with a striking resemblance to him. I am brought to tears every time I think or read about Zack. I have listened to his music on line and I imagine that you beamed with pride every time you saw him perform. I know exactly that feeling and I cannot imagine your pain at the thought he will never play for you again. I am heartbroken for you. I have asked my son to pay a tribue to Zack the next time he performs. Finally, may you find the strength and the courage to get through the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you in these difficult times.

I met dear Zack when he sold me a couple pairs of shoes at the Warehouse location he worked at. We became 'fast friends' - and as the store was quiet that day we had time to talk about music and art - subjects we were both crazy about. We exchanged business cards as I wanted my nephew from Winnipeg to meet up and exchange music ideas with him - truly one of the most sincere and kind young person this 60 year old woman had ever chanced to meet! God rest his young soul.

Ronda-Lee, when I realized that it was your son that died, my first reaction was the collective grief so well expressed by many who already signed this Guestbook. Then I recalled how proud you were of the boys and how active they were! Zack's life experiences have provided him with a unique signature - memories of a full life. I hope those positive memories provide a well-spring of comfort to you and your family. My condolences.
