Zachary Daniel Murray

Zachary Daniel Murray; age 37; of White Lake, Michigan; passed away June 7, 2021

He was born in Muncie, Indiana December 1, 1983.  Zach was married to Sarah Ann Murray for most of his adult life.  Most templates I have looked at would like me to talk about his academic achievements but anyone who knew Zach knew his mind worked differently. He did graduate from Waterford Mott, but was more of a mechanical hands-on learner that did not fit the mold for traditional education but excelled in the mechanical field.

He was an exceptionally hard and gifted mechanic that spent a lot of time working at LaFontaine GMC dealership in his youth until he left to work for his lifelong friends Bobby and Jessi Howell at Royal Construction Services who did so much to support him both personally and professionally in life and especially in death.  He had an infectious personality that could light up a room and if you lost him in a crowd just wait a minute and you’d either hear his giggle or follow the crowd of laughter and there he would be.  He accomplished many things in life but the one he was most proud of and the thing he loved more than anything else in this world were his four beautiful babies who made him proud and he would brag about for hours.  They were the light of his life and his reason for being a better man and father.

He was preceded in death by his father Brent Murray; mother Peggy Murray; grandfather Daniel Minerva; and nephews Brendan and Nicklas Murray.

He is survived by his wife Sarah Murray; children Brooklyn 19, Dallas 18, Zachary Jr. 14 and Cadence 12; siblings Christopher and Rebecca Murray; and nieces Chloe and Addison Murray.

At his request there will be no public service.
