Zachary Anthony Predojev

Zachary Anthony Predojev, born on November 22, 1995, in Akron, Ohio, left us far too soon on March 15, 2025. He embraced life with a spirit that was both hardworking and genuinely compassionate, traits that defined him to all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Zachary was a proud 2014 graduate of Ellet High School, a place where he not only honed his education but also formed lasting connections that would remain integral to his life. He continued to nurture these friendships within his community, valuing the bonds he created in his early years.

A dedicated employee, Zachary was known for his strong work ethic. After a long week, he would relish the time spent with friends, welcoming them into his home where he often prepared meals for friends and trying new recipes for family. This generosity was a hallmark of his personality-a reflection of the good, genuine guy that he was.

As the oldest of three brothers, he shared a special bond with his siblings: Gage and Jace. Zachary’s love for his family was evident in the way he cherished his time with them. He is also survived by his mother, Kristine, and step-father, Anthony, along with his beloved dog, Athena, who stood by him through life’s adventures.

Zachary enjoyed a variety of hobbies that contributed to his vibrant personality. He could often be found playing video games with friends, kayaking on serene waters, cooking and smoking meat, camping under the stars, enjoying bonfires, or taking long walks with Athena.

He leaves behind cherished memories with his grandmothers, Mary and Carol. Additionally he is remembered by his grandfather, Kenneth, aunt Daneen, uncle Don, uncle Kenny, his best friend Brandon, sister Brittany, nephew Carson, cousins including Taylor and Logan, and numerous other relatives and friends whose lives he touched.

Though Zack's father, Brian, and grandfather, Gary, have passed, their spirits are surely comforting him now.

Zachary Anthony Predojev touched the hearts of many, and his legacy of love and kindness will forever resonate in the lives he impacted. Rest in peace, dear Zack; you will always be remembered fondly by those fortunate enough to have known you. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
