Zachary Hill

Zachary Hill passed away suddenly and unexpectedly the morning of January 15th, 2016. He leaves behind his sweet young bride of almost a year, Mackenzie Hadlow Hill.
Zach is a gentle soul with big heart.  He was an Artist, a Historian, a Teacher, a two tour Combat Veteran, and a prolific Writer.  He was a true Warrior Poet that always sought peace. He loved to play games and spending time with his family and friends.
Zach was also a Traveler.  He adventured in other countries.  He served his two year mission for his Church in Mexico and he taught English in Japan, and spent time in Italy. He served his Country in the darkest places in Iraq.  Now he's gone to the Undiscovered Country.  While he's away from us for the time being, we know we will see him again.
We believe that he too is grieving for having to leave behind his friends, his family and his new bride.  He would not have wanted to leave her now. But he was called back to his celestial home far too early.  Our Father in Heaven has a plan for Zach, as he does for all of us.  Things happen for a reason and it's our struggle to make sense of it in this mortal world… through our limited and narrow optics that are full of confusion, distraction, and pain.  We take comfort that through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we can be together forever.
Instead of flowers, please consider donating to the Zachary Hill memorial fund to be given to his dear wife MacKenzie Hill http://gogetfunding.com/honor-a-fallen-friend-zachary-hill-memorial-fund/or go to Amazon.com and buy Zachary Hill's books and cherish his legacy. Through his writing, Zach will always be remembered.    
The viewing will be held at Russon Brothers Funeral Home, 295 North Main, Bountiful, UT (this will be a casual affair) on Tuesday from 7pm-9pm. With a funeral held in Virginia TBA.
