Zackery Wallace Jr.

Zackery Jamar Ray Wallace Jr. was born on February 14, 1989, in Lufkin, Texas, to Zackery Wallace Sr. and Anna Wallace, who raised him with love, grit, and a strong work ethic. To family and friends, he was known by many names; ZJ, Zack, Batman, or by his club name, Man-Man; each tied to a piece of who he was.

From a young age, Zack had a gift for working with his hands and figuring things out. He attended Corrigan-Camden High School, where he played football and earned respect for his calm, dependable nature. After graduation, he studied at Lamar Institute of Technology in Beaumont, training as a lineman.

In time, Zack found both purpose and love, building a life rooted in family and dedication. He married the love of his life, Gemera, and together they built a home filled with love and strength. He was a devoted father, a steady voice for his son, Rowdale, always offering guidance and love, and finding one of his greatest joys in having his little shadow, Zya, by his side.

Zack built a career as a robotic technician at Amazon, combining his love for mechanics with his drive to learn. Whether working on cars, bikes, or complex systems, he had a way of making things work again.

Outside of work, Zack was all about his family, friends, and his bikes. Riding was his peace. Whether catching wind with his biker friends and family or his O’Men club brothers and sisters, He found joy in the road and the brotherhood that came with it.

He was a provider in every sense, a hardworking man who made sure his family was cared for and knew they were loved. He didn’t talk about it much, but his actions said it all. To his family, he was strength. To his friends, he was solid. To everyone who knew him, he was one of a kind.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Annie P. Cooper-Thomas, Bobby R. Wallace, and Verna L. Wallace- Fisher; great-grandparents, Annie B. Thomas, J.V.
