Zachariah “Zach” Brown, was born on June 1, 1981, in Springfield, Oregon.
From a young age, Zach was full of energy, curiosity, and a love for adventure. He got his first motorcycle when he was just five years old, sparking a lifelong passion for riding that brought him freedom and joy throughout his life. Whether on the open road or out on the trails, Zach found peace behind the handlebars.
Zach was a man of many crafts and talents. He loved making things with his hands—whips, knives, clothes, and just about anything he could dream up. He enjoyed shooting, camping, and nights by the fire at the campsite, surrounded by friends and family. He had a knack for turning simple moments into lasting memories, especially when camping or riding quads with his dad, and his children.
What Zach was most proud of in life was his children. He cared deeply and always tried his best as a parent—teaching, listening, and encouraging them to chase their own adventures. To his friends and family, Zach was a bright light at every gathering, someone who would truly listen and care about how you felt. He may not have always shown it in words, but his love ran deep, and those close to him felt it in his actions.
Zach will be remembered for his kindness, his laughter, and his adventurous spirit. His legacy lives on in the love he shared, the things he built, and the countless memories made around campfires, open roads, and wide skies.
He is survived by his beloved family—Savanna, Kyle, his children, and many friends who will miss him deeply.
A service to celebrate Zach’s life will be held at a later date, with a moment of prayer to honor his memory. Though not tied to any specific faith, Zach’s spirit and the way he cared for others were blessings to all who knew him.
Ride free, Zach. You will always be remembered.
