October 6, 1992 – March 27, 2022

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Zachary Kenneth Birnie of Courtice on March 27, 2022, at the age of 29.

Zachary was Born at Toronto East General hospital on October 6, 1992, to parents Debbie Ann Lock and Steven Allan Birnie.

Zach attended Courtice Secondary School and was a graduate from Bowmanville High School.

He later became a shingler and took a lot of pride in his work.

He was known by his employers as being a hard worker and always having a smile on his face.

Zachary was a proud Canadian and enjoyed being outdoors, especially his time spent in Buckhorn at the cottage, fishing, swimming and camping. He also loved sports.

He played football, rugby and soccer but was particularly good at and enjoyed baseball; He would almost always be sporting a Toronto Blue Jays hat!

In his spare time if Zach wasn’t at the gym working out because he took a lot of pride in his health and physical fitness or outdoors, you would find him gaming online with friends, or watching Anime geeking out! Zach also loved music and had quite the eclectic taste.

He would sing & dance around to music of any genre! Zach was one of a kind. He will be remembered for his good-natured personality, his ability to make everyone laugh, and of course his own ridiculously infectious laugh!

Zach valued and loved his family and friends very much.

He will be forever remembered by his mother Debbie, father Steve, big sister Ashley, big brother Tristan and little sister Samantha, his Irish twin.

Zachary will also be fondly remembered by his nephew Denzel, lifelong friends Steven & Matt as well as his grandparents, many aunts & uncles, cousins and members of extended family. Zach will be sadly missed by KeKe his beloved rottweiler.

She was his shadow, following him wherever he went and laid by his side until his very last day. Zach was very much loved and left us much too soon.

We will miss him profoundly. Our family is sincerely grateful to everyone who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss

A visitation will be held for Zachary at the COURTICE FUNERAL CHAPEL April 9, 2022, from 3 - 5 PM.

All family and friends are encouraged to attend.
