I met Zak one year ago. I was in a rough place in life. My boyfriend had just broken up with me and I was more then lost at the time. Zak was friends with a group of people that I had just met. He made such an effort to talk me through my hard time. I saw Zak at least four days a week at our gym. He inspired me to reach my goals and he always brightened the day. Zak could always make me laugh and he will be greatly missed and always remembered. Rest in peace…save me a spot on yhe eliptical next to you on cloud nine.

Zakary Jon Marsh, 21, of Bay City, our angel on earth and now in heaven passed away on Thursday, October 3, 2013. Zak was born in Bay City on March 22, 1992, the son of James Marsh III and the former Christine Maus. Zak graduated with the Class of 2011 from John Glenn, where he was active with football. He attended Delta College, where he would further develop his passion for welding. Zak's infectious smile could light up a room and put everyone at ease. In addition to football, Zak enjoyed motorcycles, snowmobiling, baseball, fishing, going to the gym, dancing, pool, beer pong and most of all, his friends, smiling and cracking jokes. His fun loving, yet caring nature will live on in the hearts of his family and friends for generations to come. Zak leaves to cherish his memory his devoted mother, Christine and husband, Doug Yax and father, James Marsh III. He was the awesome brother of Zaryn Marsh, Zan Marsh and step-brother of Trina and husband, Mark Reimer, Julia Yax and fiancé, Matthew Meyer and Savanna Yax.

Zak was welcomed home to heaven by his maternal grandfather, David Maus; paternal grandfather, James Marsh, Jr.; his baby, Dakota and great friend, Robbie Rambo. Zak's family will be present to receive visitors on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 from 3:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. and again on Thursday, October 10, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. until the time of his 1:00 p.m. Funeral Ceremony at Skorupski Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 955 N.

Zak, I went to elementary school with you, we didn’t talk much at all during high school. But this past month, when I saw you out at the bars , you always put a smile on my face. With your joke ‘what’s on your shirt the flicked my nose. You were such a sweet heart. Last time I will ever see you is at the bar . With a smile on your face. R.I.P Zak, make sure you and Rambo are looking down! Having a beer!

He helped me with a move that I never could’ve done without him. He was happy to help. Not too many younger folks would take time out of their weekend to help an older person. He had a heart of gold in my book. May Zak rest peacefully!

Zak, I have had the pleasure to have you in my life the past couple years and I can honestly say you always put a smile on my face. I am so glad Chase was blessed to have such a wonderful friend that he brought into my life as well. Thank you for making every minute spent with you wonderful and unforgettable. Just two weeks ago you messaged me asking to go to a red wings game; when we get tickets we will know you are with us. God is lucky to have such an amazing, beautiful angel by his side. We miss you dearly.

No one suspected that you were so down. You were the life of the party when your friends were around. You lit up the darkness with the spark in your eyes, with the biggest smile and that no one can deny. Your passing has touched much more than a few, you were loved by so many and that much is true. We need to understand and we need to know why…why you took your precious life with out even a good-bye…with a hole in our hearts and two in our souls we will never forget you and your legacy will be told….
