In Memory of Zack Ford & Support of Liz Tallman

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the untimely passing of Zackary Ford on Saturday, May 4, 2024, due to a tragic accident. Zack recently celebrated his 39th birthday. He was the loving partner of Liz Tallman, a beloved son, a caring brother, a treasured friend to so many and Dog Dad to pups Molly and Lilly. His sudden passing has left a profound void in so many lives and the imprint of his funny, easy-going, free-spirited and adventurous soul will be dearly missed. As you can imagine this unexpected loss is heartbreaking for Liz, the Ford family, and the Long Beach community at large.

One of the hardships of this unexpected loss is the cost that comes with taking care of all the things left in the wake of such tragedy. On behalf of Liz, Deep Blue Swim School and her circle of friends and family would like to support her and the Ford family by helping with costs associated with his passing. We understand how deeply our community cares and so many want to help in any capacity. A donation, no matter the amount, is a small way to support Liz and honor Zack’s memory. Whether you knew him personally or listened to Liz speak about him, we are immensely grateful for your kindness and support for her during this difficult time.
