Our sweet spirit lost his six-year battle to opiate addiction and mental illness. You are free to soar high with no boundaries. Your potential is now truly unlimited son! I will share my story in hope that it will help someone with your same battles. Your passing will not be in vain if it helps even one other person avoid the horrible end that your death has brought to not just you and your life, but to all of us that have loved you so dearly and cheered for you to make it through rehab and recovery and to reclaim your world.
Zachary was a practicing Buddhist, loved music, his family, his friends, played guitar. He was a person that loved to journal … a true blessing for us! He loved playing Frisbee golf with his friends. Zack was born and raised in Petaluma, the son of his late father Eudell Brown and Nancy Guerrero Vella. He leaves behind his sister Quinn Brown, brother Mason Brown, his step moms Rose Vella and Patricia Brown, his aunt Leslie Kempkes and cousin Madison Kempkes. Zack had a very special bond with Vic, Mike, and Lex Vella, and with Judy, Fran, Chris, Amy, and Kash Arellano, and Cindy, Amanda, and Makenzie Crandell. Zack has also left behind many aunts, uncles, and cousins along with countless friends.
All our lives have been touched deeply by your life Zachary. We will miss you each and every day. You are free of your earthly burdens now. Fly high son and please finally be at peace in your soul. Your sobriety started after you took your last breath. You are free of your addictions!
