Zachary Benjamin Pearson Obituary (1983 - 2017)

On July the 1st, 1983, Zachary Benjamin Pearson struggled to come into this world. Then on June the 24th, 2017, he painfully left it. In between his short lifespan, he not only blessed his "biological" family: Crista, Ron, Vanessa, Nate and grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, but also his "adopted" Tennessee family. On May the 9th, 1991, after much prayer and deliberation, Zachary was placed in Greene Valley Developmental Center in Greeneville, Tennessee. He lived there until May the 25th, 2017 where he spent the last few weeks of his life at Sunrise Group Home. Because the majority of Zachary's life with spent with the loving and devoted staff of these extraordinary places, we as a family, decided to have Zachary buried in a Greeneville cemetery surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Northeast Tennessee. We will always love and miss you, Zachary B, but know that now you are finally free from pain. Love, Mom, Dad, Vanessa and Nate The family will receive friends Wednesday, June 28, 2017 from 12-2pm at Jeffers Funeral Service at Afton. A graveside service will follow visitation at 2:15pm in Graceland Memorial Gardens.
