Zachary Christopher Priddy, 35, died unexpectedly after a short illness on February 1, 2016 in Raleigh. Born July 25, 1980, Zach was a 1998 honors graduate of High Point Central High School and earned his Eagle Scout Award that same year. As a scout, Zach had many accomplishments; including participating in a National Jamboree, hiking the super-strenuous trail at Philmont in New Mexico, and attending Florida Sea Base.

An avid outdoorsman, he competed and participated in various types of outdoor adventure and road races including 5Ks, 10Ks, a marathon, triathlons, and adventure races. Zach's latest outdoor adventures included his volunteer service as "Coach Dad" for 3-year-old Viviane's soccer team, the Superhero Cats.
Zach was employed with NYCOM, Inc. since 2004, with increasing levels of responsibility. A proven leader in construction field supervision, Zach's current service was as Field Operations Manager with oversight of installation projects in five states.
Zach leaves to cherish his memory his wife Jami Johnides Priddy and their three daughters Viviane, 3; Cecelia, 2; and Colette, 3 months.

There have been so many friends and family we have lost in the years that we have been living far away from the Carolinas...... dear family, friends and teachers well- loved..... It is unthinkable that we haven't been home for every single memorial service for each of them. Today is no exception....My sweet Ginger, I am coming to be with you as soon as possible. I want to be there to sit beside you and cry with you. So does Jim. Please know how much we love you and Zach. We love ALL of you who love him so much.

Zach must be in total awe of Heaven and all it's glory seeing Jesus face to face, and I believe Zach will be watching the Panthers play on Sunday with all his family; he is now your angel looking over your shoulder, whispering to you that God is all that matters in this life. There are no words to express my sympathy to everyone, except know that God only chooses the best to dwell with him forever and ever and ever.
