Zackery also enjoyed participating in derbies. Ultimately, Zackery loved being a father. He was a family man and his children meant the world to him. Zackery was the life of the party and he will be remembered for his sense of humor. With his heart on his sleeve...and a fire in his soul!  He touched so many lives and gained so many brothers, special friends and homies along the way.

Those left to cherish Zackery’s memory include his children, Ryder Casel and Caroline Casel, along with their mother, Cherokee Casel; Rollyn Jones, Rayce Jones, and Baby Jones on the way, along with their mother, Alexandria Casey; his parents; and his great-grandmother, Marian DeLapp.
