ROCHESTER, NY: August 29, 2023 at age 28. Zachary is survived by his daughter, Amelia Johnson; parents Pam Freeman and Robert (Jenna) Johnson; sister Kaitlyn (Russ) Hedberg, nephew Oliver Hedberg and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Zachary was often known as the “Mayor” due to his ability to converse with whoever he was talking with and on any subject. He had a huge heart, always willing to help anybody at anytime and for any reason.
Zach fought addiction for many years, for the sake of his family and his beautiful daughter Amelia. He often supported individuals battling this same disease, whether lending an ear to simply listen to their struggles or sharing his own painful struggles. Despite setbacks, Zach continued to fight until the devastating day when he could no longer fight the disease that is addiction. Too many young people today are losing their life to this terrible epidemic. Let Zach’s passing be a reminder for all of us that we need to fight for each other and fight this devastating epidemic.
