In Loving Memory of Zechariah Diaz

“King Zechariah”

December 27, 2017 – August 8, 2026

Zechariah Diaz entered this world on December 27, 2017, and in eight beautiful years filled it with more love, laughter, personality, and unforgettable memories than could ever be measured.

Zechariah was the beloved and only child of his mother, Vanessa, and the center of her entire world. Their bond was extraordinary. They were best friends, partners in everything, and rarely apart.

He was deeply loved by his stepfather, Alejandro, who helped raise him from the time he was two years old and shared countless memories, lessons, laughs, and adventures with him.

Zechariah was truly one of a kind. He was intelligent, witty, funny, loving, curious, passionate, a prankster, and full of life. He had a personality far bigger than his eight years and a way of leaving an impression wherever he went.

Anyone who knew Zechariah knew how absolutely obsessed he was with WWE, Michael Jackson, sports, music, and dancing. He could turn an ordinary moment into a performance. Beneath that larger-than-life personality was an incredibly loving heart. Zechariah was taught to put God first, to be grateful, and to care for those who had less than he did.

He loved his family and friends very deeply, especially his Mama, his stepdad Alejandro, his Lela, and Eddie.

He loved playing baseball and found a true home on the field with the Cliffside Park Fairview Little League, where he was warmly welcomed by teammates and coaches alike.Above all else, Zechariah loved being with his family. He cherished every moment spent making memories with them, whether he was eating pizza with Abuelo and ice cream with Abuela, laughing with his stepsisters, wrestling with his cousin, or traveling to Pennsylvania to share birthdays, holidays, and everyday adventures with his extended family. He was so happy to be together as a family. Although his life was tragically cut short, the beauty of the years he shared and the lives he touched will never fade.
