A private funeral mass will be held in Zach’s honor, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, in Elizabeth, IL, with burial to follow at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery. Family and friends are invited to share in Zach’s life at lawjonesfuneralhome.com. Zach was born December 5, 1988, in Olympia Fields, IL, the son of Arthur and Donna (Phillips) Marcotte. He grew up in Elizabeth and graduated from River Ridge High School. Zach will forever be remembered as a loving father and a family man. He deeply loved his son, Ronan, and his fiancé, Amber, and placed his family, both immediate and extended, above all else. His favorite event of the year was always the annual family picnic. He was blessed with a large family and cherished this time spent with his cousins, aunts, and uncles. In his free time, Zach loved to cook. His chili cheese dip was a fixture at those family outings. He had a love for animals, and was drawn to music, photography, and poetry. Perhaps these artistic pleasures were his way of finding that sometimes elusive beauty in the world around him. Zach will be forever loved and missed by his parents, Arthur and Donna, of Elizabeth, IL; son, Ronan; fiancé, Amber Tala Sanders, of Hanover, IL; sister, Jamie Marcotte, of Hanover, IL; brothers, Phillip (Courtney) Marcotte, of Tinley Park, IL and Stuart Marcotte, of Soldatna, AK; nieces and nephews, Wendy, Alex and Esmeralda, PJ, and Ben and Hannah; as well and many beloved cousins, aunts, and uncles. Zach is preceded in death by his grandparents, David and Mildred Phillips and Betty and Emil Marcotte; uncles, Tracy M. and Dan P.; and cousin, Tim P.
