BIG LAKE, MN
Zach passed away unexpectedly on May 3, 2021.
Zach grew up in the Big Lake/Elk River area, where he spent his entire childhood training dogs alongside his dad at their family business, Elk River Kennels. Zach found complete peace and joy in the outdoors: hunting, fishing, and hiking. On the water or on a mountain top were his favorite places to be, other than spending time with his son, Myles. Zach had a deep love for his family and a deep faith in God.
Zach is survived by and will be forever missed by his son, Myles (Annandale); his dad, Al (North Dakota); his mom, Mari (Elk River); his sister, Jenna (Maple Grove); his Grandmother, Terri Brunner (Luxemburg); his girlfriend, Justina Nelson and his special bonus son Tyvon (Annandale); and so many close uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, May 16th, beginning at 3:30 in the Upper-Level Pavilion at Annandale Municipal Park, 330 Oak Ave. N. in Annandale. In lieu of flowers, memorials would be preferred and can be sent to Mari Freiberg @ 14217 183rd Lane NW, Elk River, MN 55330. Al & Mari will use all the memorial funds to set up a trust to benefit Zach’s son.
