On November 26, 2020, a foundation rose from the ashes of the tragic passing of Zachary Jacob Plantz.

In his short time on Earth, Zac made an indelible mark as a son, brother, mentor, friend, and, above all, a shepherd. He was a natural leader, not because he took up the mantle from the front, but because he gathered people who risked being left behind and carried them with him.

Many people were cared for and inspired by Zac, and we continue to draw on his strength and love to fulfill our own potential. The Zac Plantz Foundation is devoted to solidifying his memory through Zac’s greatest life passions: faith-based education, leadership & service, and health & wellness.

Zac shepherded a huge, diverse flock, and by taking up his mantle, we will continue to honor his memory through our care for others.
