Zac graduated from Vincennes Lincoln High School with the Class of 1986 and went on to attend Oakland City College. He attended Central Church of Christ in Vincennes.
As a youth, Zac achieved the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America. His love for tradition was seen as he proudly embraced his identity as a lifelong Cheesehead and die-hard Green Bay Packers fan.
Zac is survived by his fiancée Deanna Archer; his children Brittany Raley, Michael Ridge, and Remington Crane; his brothers Nathaniel Ridge, Lincoln Ridge, and Thaddeus Ridge; and several grandchildren who brought joy to his life.
He was preceded in death by his mother Jean Marie Wilkes (Black), father Patrick Michael Ridge; paternal grandparents Coleman Patrick Ridge and Mary Christina Ridge (Southers); and maternal grandparents Martin Black and Virginia M. Kimball (Dessel).
A Celebration of Life will be held on September 22, 2025, from 5 PM to 9 PM at the Vincennes Moose Lodge #281, 904 S. 17th St, Vincennes, IN 47591
May Zac's memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
