In Memory of Zach Williams- Support for Funeral & His Kids

It is with shattered hearts that we share the passing of our beloved son, Warren Zachary “Zach” Williams. Zach died by suicide at home in Umatilla, Oregon, on May 15, 2024. He was only 33 years old.

Zach left an unforgettable mark wherever he went—with his sharp wit, his enormous heart, and that signature Williams mischievous grin he’d flash just before dropping a twisted joke that would have everyone cracking up. He was passionate about music, movies, and deep conversations. Zach was smart, hilarious, loyal, hardworking, and so deeply loving.

He was a son, a brother, a friend—but most importantly, he was a dad. He adored his three children: Nick, Kaylee, and Lily. They were his greatest pride and the brightest lights in his life.

As we mourn this unimaginable loss, we are also navigating the financial burden that comes with it. We are humbly asking for your support to raise $6,000 to help cover funeral expenses and support for Zach’s children in the coming months. Anything you can contribute—whether a donation, a share, or a prayer—is deeply appreciated.

Zach’s funeral will be held on May 31st in Hermiston, Oregon (details to come). All who loved him are welcome to attend and celebrate the life of a man who gave so much of himself to those around him.

If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, you know the ripple of pain it leaves behind. If you’re struggling yourself, please know you are not alone. There is help, there is hope, and you matter.

Thank you for helping us carry this heartbreak, and for honoring Zach with your kindness.

With love and gratitude,

Shanda & Bruce Williams
