Zach Ryan Ballard

Zach Ryan Ballard, 40, of Liberty, MO passed away Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at his home. He was born on April 1, 1980 in Lubbock, TX the son of Jackie Ballard and Heather Norman.

Zach loved to use his sense of humor to make others laugh; he was HILARIOUS. He loved to see smiles on people's faces. He liked the show Lost, SNL (the old episodes), old comedies, doing impressions and spending time with family and friends. Zach showed genuine care and concern for any human being and was truly one of a kind.

Zach is survived by his father; one sister, Brin Spaunhorst (Joe), of Jefferson City, MO; two nieces, Lyla and Allison of Jefferson City, MO; and his "brothers" he grew up with and considered his real brothers (you all know who you are).

Zach was preceded in death by his mother.

There will be a private service for friends and family at a later date.
