Zachary Leatherman
Zachary C. “Zach” Leatherman, 21, of Gnadenhutten, died Sept. 17, 2011, at Akron General Hospital, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident while driving to work.
Born Jan. 2, 1990, in Dover, Zach was the son of Sherri D. Downs of Dennison and Ty W. Bricker, with whom he had resided. He was a graduate of Claymont High School and the Buckeye Career Center in 2010, and had previously attended Conotton Valley Schools through junior high. He was employed by Valley Mining. Zach loved hunting and fishing, woodworking, and working on cars and engines in his spare time. His greatest joy came from spending time with his daughter, Emily Sue Leatherman. He was Methodist by faith.
In addition to his parents and daughter, Zach is survived by his fiancee, Brandy (Milliron) Leatherman of Dover and their expected son, Zachary Charles Leatherman II; grandmothers, Jane Warner of Uhrichsville and Ruth Bricker of Gnadenhutten; sister, Maci Jane Bricker of Cuyahoga Falls; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He will also be sadly missed by his many friends, including best friends, Jeffrey and Codie.
He was preceded in death by a brother, Cody Wayne Bricker; his grandfathers, Dean Leatherman and Charles Bricker; and stepgrandfather, Ted Warner.
Services will be held Sept. 22, at 11 a.m., at R.K. Lindsey Funeral Home, Dennison, with Rev. Mark Unrue officiating. Interment will follow in Bowerston’s Longview Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to call Sept. 21, from 5-8 p.m. Zach would have wished, and his family requests, that those attending his service and calling hours would dress casually as he was always happiest in jeans, work boots, and camouflage or T-shirts.
