Chris Zech Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Chris was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Kenneth and Beverly Zech.
He is survived by his brother, Ken (Janet) Zech; sisters, Lisa (Bill) Zech-Mencanin and Shari (Mike) Zech-Shields; and was a devoted uncle and great-uncle to his nieces and nephews.
His life was lovingly supported by his longtime caregiver and dear friend, whom he called family, Carolyn Augustine, whose dedication over more than 25 years was a true blessing.
Chris was part of the OCCK family for 50 years, where he found connection and community. The family would like to thank OCCK and Gentiva Hospice for their care and dedication.
A graveside memorial service will be held on May 30, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Roselawn Cemetery in Salina. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Chris's memory to Roselawn Cemetery.
Chris may not have spoken with words, but his life was a beautiful expression of love. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Roselawn Burial and Cremation Services. Online condolences may be sent to www.roselawnsalina.com.
