Zachary Michael Dean Kinser, whom we affectionately knew as Zach, was born on the 7th of December 1994, in Elwood, Indiana. His life was a testament to his adventurous spirit, charismatic personality, and unparalleled sense of humor. Zach was a light in the lives of many, always ready with a joke to make anyone's day brighter. He was a dedicated and loving father whose world revolved around his children and family. His generous nature made him a beloved figure in his community, touching lives with his kindness and warm spirit.

Zach was an avid baseball enthusiast, and his love for the sport led him to become an assistant coach with the Eagles Baseball Club since 2019 and a baseball/softball coach since 2016. This role allowed him to combine his love for baseball and his commitment to his community. Zach also had a passion for cooking, never needing a recipe to whip up a delicious meal for his loved ones. His culinary creations were as delightful as his infectious laughter and his relentless pursuit of getting the most out of life.

Zach is survived by his mother, Christina Kinser; his wife, Kayla; his children, Felicity, Kyland, and Axtyn; his sisters Emmalee Kinser (Chris) Walters, Meghan (Nick) Risinger, Kylie (Kris) Waller; his father who raised him, John Carpenter; his biological father, Mike Kinser; his nephews Gavin, Weston, Ivan, Hendrix, Knox, Lincoln, and Lynnon; and his grandparents, Chris Shrader, Lawanna Shrader, and Diane Kinser. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Lisa Miller; his grandmother-in-law, Berneda Rogers; his brothers-in-law, Chad Miller and Corbin Miller; and his sister-in-law, Ella Broxson. Zach is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Kay and Elmo Shell, Robert and Helen Kinser, and Marilyn and Norman Shrader.

A celebration of Zach life will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at the Frankton PeeWee Field, 801 Lafayette Frankton, IN 46044.

Memorial contributions may be given to the Zach Kinser Memorial Scholarship. Mail checks to BurgerHaus Productions LLC 1211 E Sigler Street Frankton, IN 46044. (Checks made payable to BurgerHaus Productions LLC.)

Zach's life was a beautiful journey filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. We invite you to share your memories and photos of Zach on his memorial page, a place to remember and celebrate his wonderful life.
