Zachary was born March 7, 2001, in Pittsburgh, Pa., to Dawn and Eric Wildasin. He was a graduate of Moon Area High School and attended West Virginia University, where he studied computer science.

Zachary had a lifelong love of hockey. He played for the Moon Area Hockey Association (MAHA) and the Arctic Foxes Hockey Association. In 2018, he was a proud member of the MAHA Varsity Division 2 (D2) Championship team. His years playing hockey brought him many lasting friendships, memorable experiences, and a sense of accomplishment.

Away from work and hockey, Zachary loved cooking, golf, the outdoors, traveling, WVU & Steelers football, and spending time with his family. He especially cherished the companionship of his beloved dog, Rocky. Whether exploring the outdoors, traveling to new places, or simply being with the people he loved, Zachary treasured the experiences and memories he made with family and friends.

Zachary was a hardworking and dedicated young man who worked as a plumber with Armstrong Comfort Solutions. He took pride in his work and enjoyed the friendships and connections he made along the way.

Zachary was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Timothy L. Wildasin of Arthurdale.

Zachary will be deeply missed by his parents, brothers, grandparents, extended family, friends, hockey teammates, coworkers, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories filled with family, friendship, adventure, laughter, and love.
