Zachary Robert Beck

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
Zach was a free spirit who lived in the present, on his own terms. He was a dreamer. He was a leader. He could enter the room and brighten it with his smile, his attitude or just his presence. He made friends so easily and was true to each and every one of them. He was kind, considerate and compassionate. Zachary, we love you with all our hearts and are profoundly proud of you. Rest in peace; and never, never stop dancing in the rain.
Zachary Robert Beck was born July 3, 1995 in Billings, MT. He graduated in the class of 2013 at Skyline High School in Sammamish, WA.
