Zachary Stohr Obituary

Zachary Stohr

Zachary Stohr, 29, of New Lenox, IL passed away on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. Beloved son of Beni Stohr and Lisa Munzell; beloved brother of Alexandria (Nicholas) Ktenas and Maxwell Stohr (Sithara); beloved uncle of Elijah and Theodore Ktenas; beloved grandson of Betty Munzell; beloved significant other of Jem Hughes (Layla) and beloved nephew, cousin and friend to many.

He was preceded in death by his loving grandparents Peter and Ines Stohr and Gregory Munzell.

Zachary was a devoted family man and loved spending his time with his nephews, little cousins and Layla. He was a kind man who loved fabricating and skateboarding. Zachary was outgoing, clever, entertaining and could banter for hours. He loved being a Cat Daddy to Noodle. His personality would light up the room and his silly and kind-heartedness was contagious.

Zachary's legacy will live on in his family's lives and hearts forever. His absence will be felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.

I love you like the brother I never had. All of my Cherry hill brothers have stayed friends since we were little kids. Growing up riding mini bikes, playing airsoft, paintball, and just running around the neighborhood. When parting ways we never shook hands but hugged and would say things like “I love you brother”. That’s how we all do bc we are all brothers! I’ve cried my eyes out multiple times Ill always remember you Zach you’ve been there to support me thru my ups and downs. I don’t open up to anyone but I could always come and talk to my brothers about personal things. Love you brother and I always will.... much love to you, your family, and the rest of our brothers. CHB FOR LIFE!!!!
