Zachary Owen Hannaford

It is with great sadness that the family of Zachary Owen Hannaford announces his passing at age 29 on May 12, 2019.

Zack grew up in Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, CA and graduated from Los Alamitos High School in 2008.  He was Co-MVP of the Freshman Football team, and was the Freshman Wrestler of the Year, but his favorite sport was baseball which he played throughout high school and continued to play both baseball and softball for his entire life.

One of Zack’s favorite things to do with his friends and family was golfing. He also enjoyed surfing, especially in Costa Rica, and had an artistic side, writing poetry, painting, and playing the piano among other instruments. Zack was a business owner and expert consultant in underground leak detection and enjoyed problem solving for his clients.

Zack could light up a room and put a smile on anyone’s face that knew him. He was loved and admired by his friends for his humor and enormous heart. He cared about people in his life, loved his friends and family deeply, and was always kind. His smile will be missed by all.

Zack is survived by his father, Kim Hannaford (Barbara), his mother Sherri Reyes (Russ), his brother Jake, his sister Kelly (Rocky), his grandfather Frank Sue, step-siblings (Bridgette Reyes; Angela, Myndi, Katy, and David Sheets) and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will also be missed by his many friends.

A celebration of life will be held at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach on Saturday, May 25, 2019 at 1pm.

If you would like to donate in Zack’s honor, he would have loved an organization such as the Action Sports Kids Foundation in Long Beach, which provides after school opportunities to underprivileged kids.  In lieu of flowers, please reach out to someone who needs help and may be hurting.
