Zachary Shane Orheim

Zachary S. Orheim, age 34, of Wisconsin Rapids, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, October 9, 2022, at his home.
Zach was born on August 25, 1988 in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. He was part of the 2007 graduating class of Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids and was employed at Mariani Packing Co. He loved spending time with his family and his cats Oliver, Georgie and Willow. He also enjoyed going fishing for salmon or musky. He cherished having a morning coffee with his grandpa and riding around Lake Wazeecha with him listening to all his stories. Zach also had a love for music. He would always be looking for new songs and was the DJ when we would sit around the firepit. He enjoyed cooking on the grill and sharing a good meal with his parents. Zach had a huge heart and would always help anyone out whenever he could. He cared deeply for his Grandparents, caring for his Grandpa when he got sick and bringing his grandma flowers and visiting with her.
He had a strong faith in God and found comfort in reading and studying the bible and he knew it from beginning to end. He enjoyed attending Crossview Church.
He had a special bond with his Mom and loved her dearly always giving her a hug and a kiss and telling her he loved her. He was the best caregiver and helper to many people. The only thing he ever wanted to do is help others by buying and cooking food when he knew they didn't have enough or paying for a stranger's items in a grocery store line when they were short.
Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to Angels without knowing it.
