Zachary Sizemore Obituary
Cedar City - Zachary Sizemore, beloved son, brother, and friend; passed away unexpectedly at his home on March 25, 2019. He was born on February 3, 2002 in Cedar City, Utah.
At eight months old, Zachary was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, participating in the activities of young men his age.
Zachary was a junior at Canyon View High School. Although confined to a wheelchair, he made friends easily. He possessed a sweet spirit that naturally drew others to him. He found joy in seeking out and visiting with friends and strangers alike, peers as well as adults. He enjoyed a cadre of female students who had bonded with him in elementary school. He particularly loved girls who wore crazy socks and slid across the floor while he watched. While in high school, Zachary played percussion instruments in the band. Zachary enjoyed playing video games. He particularly liked to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl on his Wii. He was fascinated with cars of all types, keys, and airplanes. He loved to discuss cars with others. He would ask what kind of car they drove, the year it was made, and ask to see the keys. He loved cats, funny TV shows, and videos on Youtube.
Zachary, so beloved by all who knew him, will be missed.
He is survived by his parents, Will and Malinda; brothers, Ethan and Connor, Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Funeral services will be on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 2:00 PM, with a viewing on Friday, March 29, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and March 30 from 12:00 to 1:30 PM.

I was so sorry to hear of Zach's passing. He was always such a sweetheart. I had forgotten that when I was a substitute in one of his classes for the first time he asked me what kind of car I drove and the year and to see my keys. Whenever he saw me he stopped to talk to me and asked me what teacher I was subbing for. He was always so happy. I'm so sorry for your loss. Zach had a special light around him and he will be missed.- Wendy Sorensen

I am so sorry to hear this. Zachry was one of my students I worked with and did physical therapy with when he was at Three Peaks Elementary. My heart goes out to you. He was such a fun and kind person. RIP Zachary.

Zach was a very, very courageous young man, facing each day with hope and optimism. I don't think I ever saw him in the three years he was at Canyon View Middle School without a smile on his face and love in his heart. He'll be missed, but we know he's in a wonderful place. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Dear Melinda and Will
Just to let you know we are thinking of you and your family at this very sad time. Zach spent his very first Halloween at our house while you took Nathan trick or treating.

I enjoyed visiting with Zach in the halls at schools, and loved the way he was always asking us questions about our job and how things worked. I will sure miss the interaction with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Canyon View Custodian
