Zachary Ryan Abby

The lives of Kimberly Skipper and Leo Abby were blessed on January 6, 1995. On that day,
Zachary Ryan Abby was born into the world. For the last 26 years, Zachary has fulfilled the purpose God predestined for him. In life, Zachary touched the lives of a vast amount of people; rich, poor; young, old; black, white; friends and family. In death, Zachary will still be touching and impacting lives; he was an organ donor and can save or help repair 75 other people.

Zachary was born January 6, 1995, in Saginaw, Michigan at Saginaw General Hospital. He transitioned February 15, 2021, at Hurley Medical Center due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
