Zach Klein was a young man with a bright future ahead of him.

He was remembered for his incredible passion and the energy he brought to everything he did. He was a person who gave his all.

Whether he was practicing Taekwondo, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or taking aim at the trap, he was fully committed.

Zach embraced adventure, creating lasting memories like the time he bravely jumped off a bridge with his cousin.

Most recently, he discovered a deep love for football. It was the sport he was most excited to play, and he grew tremendously as a person and a teammate.

Zach Klein was a special friend to our family. Our hearts are broken that he is no longer with us. These are just a few pictures of Zach over the past few years at shooting sports competitions. I will find more. Ron was honored to be his coach since 6th grade. We loved having him around us. Guy is devastated. So thankful to be part of his life.
