Zachary Matthew Escobar

Zachary Matthew Escobar, a Magnolia High School senior, met his Lord and Savior at age 17 on December 29, 2015.

Zachary is survived by his parents, Candace Lynn Escobar & Filo Elijah Escobar; brother, Caleb Elijah Escobar; grandparents, John & Cynthia Easter and Filo & Adela Escobar; aunts & uncles, Stephen Dunn, John Easter, Wes & Melinda Yarbrough, Clay & Brandy Smith, Richard & Tiffany McCrea, Matthew & Jackie Easter, and Joanna & Joel Guest; cousins, Isaac and Stephen Dunn, Hunter and Camryn Yarbrough, Hailey and Clayton Smith, Taylor and Brayden McCrea, Jovial, Jonah, and Jorah Guest; and numerous relatives and friends.

Zachary was a gentle and sweet soul; a true gentle giant. His size would have been intimidating except, when he walked up to you, his smile & sweet spirit just put you at ease. Zach was a special one-of-a-kind young man who was an avid sports fan with baseball as the love of his life. He loved being around his family & friends and made an everlasting impression of what a teenage boy should be. Our hope in Christ Jesus and the eternal promise of a coming reunion is our strength to bear this unbelievable loss. Our angel is now in heaven.
