Zachary Ryan Lanza was born on December 27, 1999 and went into the arms of God on December 11, 2024. Raised in Copley, Ohio, Zach, known as "Zach Attack" on the baseball field, was everyone's little brother. You could find him in the back of every neighborhood "family" photo. He was always ready for a party or combined Sunday dinner with the neighbors. He loved food and was always on a quest to make the perfect steak or pancake. His mother's chicken and gnocchi soup was one thing that really warmed his soul. Zach could light up every room that he entered and was missed when he wasn't there.
Zachary graduated from Copley High School in 2018, and Meryma'at Barber College in Cleveland, Ohio in 2019. This proved to be his passion as Zach became a standout barber at West Park Barber Shop in Cleveland Ohio. His clients said he was "cold with the clippers". He was also a talented artist, avid snowboarder, euchre extraordinaire, billiard master and a dedicated golfer. He really was great at everything. At times he was our daredevil wild child but he was the brightest light all the time. Zach absolutely cherished his friendships and was loved by so many. He had the best smile, laugh and was unapologetically Zach.
Zachary is survived by his mother Renee Lanza, father Steve Lanza, siblings Mitchell, Calle, and Andrew. In addition, he leaves the love of his life Vega Stone, grandparents Richard and Laura Haynam, and Frank and Doris Lanza, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
