Celebrating the life of Zachary Snow

As evening fell on Wednesday October 27th 2021…

The police department in Boise, ID got a frantic call from the mother of Zachary Snow over 6 hours away in Northern Idaho begging them to find her son and help him as he was threatening his own life. Officers searched his name in their database and found he had a current warrant out for his arrest and a “history”. They immediately assumed he could potentially be a threat to more than just himself…At approximately 5:05pm the station received another call stating there was a suicidal person on interstate 84 threatening to jump off of a building/overpass. They continued the search for approximately half an hour before 2 officers officers found him in a cornered parking lot on W. Myrtle St and S. Capital Boulevard. They approached Zach where he (according to current articles) said something they considered a deadly threat causing them to open fire on Zach shooting him multiple times in the shoulder and in the head. There is still a lot about the current events we do not know but it is under investigation.

Zachary was rushed to the nearby hospital where doctors tried desperately to save his life but, despite all their best efforts he unfortunately was pronounced brain dead as the bullets had destroyed his brain and severed connection to his spinal cord. His parents made the heart wrenching decision to remove him from life support. Speaking as a member of the family our family are some of the most stubborn strong willed people I know and Zach proved that, his body fought on until he unfortunately took his final breathe passing peacefully surrounded by the love of his parents and uncountable numbers of people from afar on Saturday October 30th, 2021 at 2:55am.

Zachary’s death was unfair and has left everyone he has touched in his life heartbroken. He had plans with family that won’t be tended to, holidays coming up, little moments in life to live just one more time…his mom had promised him lasagna when he came back up North…He was described by myself and other family as being sweet, loving, caring, loyal, resilient, goofy, strong and family oriented. He was always known for his love of exploring Freak ally downtown, taking pictures, acting a fool with his younger brothers and friends, playing video games, watching the sunsets. He was the kind of person you could talk for hours with and lose track of time, he was always the first to call you and see what you were up to and how you were doing. He was a lover of music and red roses and an amazing artist, on one of his posts he says “I don’t draw, I tell a story… my art is a reflection of the worlds my soul cannot convey.” and it truly was. He told a story of a struggling soul that still had an eye for beauty in the world despite what was in his head.

Zacharys parents are working openly in his investigation to get the full story and in honoring his body but costs are piling up on top of the pain of losing of him. Thus the reason for this go fund me, I have posted this for them in the hope they can get some kind of relief through it all. They hope the can cremate Zach and bring him back to the place he loved most just one more time, Freak Alley. Any and all donations are absolutely unexplainably appreciated and will ONLY be used in the expenses honoring Zachary’s life and the costs his parents have accumulated.
