LAYE: Zakery Stephen of Crediton

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our special young man, the son of Mark Sr. and Sharon Laye. A loving brother, and special uncle. Surrounded by family, and support workers, Zakery passed suddenly at home in Crediton on Tuesday, May 28, 2019, at the age of 27. Zakery was a source of unconditional love and care within the circle of his family, support workers, and friends. His radiant smirks and contagious belly laughs were a ray of sunshine to anyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Zakery will be always lovingly remembered by his brothers Mark Jr. and Becky Laye of Lucan, and Corey and Haley Laye of Ailsa Craig. Special uncle of Kurtis, Avery, Kael, Corbyn, and special angel Caisen. Cherished grandson of Madeline Desjardine of Zurich. He will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and their families. Predeceased by his grandparents Jim and Betty Laye, and Norris Desjardine, and uncle Terry Laye.

A celebration of life will be held at the Crediton Community Centre, 38 Victoria Avenue, Crediton, on Saturday, June 8th from 1- 4 PM. Cremation has taken place. Arrangements entrusted to Haskett Funeral Home, Exeter (519-235-1220).

For those who wish, donations to Ronald McDonald House, Community Living of South Huron, or Easter Seals would be appreciated by the family.

Mark , Sharon , and family ,

I am so sorry to hear of Zak’s passing . He always had such a wonderful smile and was a happy guy . He had the best laugh and loved when we would spin him in his chair or play music for him. I remember the kids in our class fighting over who got to push him around at recess because we all wanted to help out and spend more time with him. He will be missed . May your happy memories of him carry you through this difficult time.

Dearest Mark Sr., Sharon, Mark Jr. (Becky), Corey (Haley), Madeline & Families . . . . .

It is with saddened hearts that we are sending our sincerest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your beloved Son, Brother, Grandson, and Uncle, Zakery. There aren’t enough words to help with the pain and sorrow that you are all experiencing right now.

Saying goodbye is always heartbreaking especially when that person was taken at such a very young age. Heaven has gained another Angel. I hope it brings you some comfort knowing how much Zakery loved all of you unconditionally and appreciated how much you were there for him in every way possible. May you find peace in knowing you were the best “Family” Zakery had. Remember his devoted love of those he held dear and keep the happy and joyful memories close to your hearts.

Please find strength by leaning on your family, friends, neighbours and faith for comfort and support. Take all the time needed to grieve as there is no set time.

Remember the wonderful times and memories you each have shared, as these moments will bring a warm smile to your heart. Reminisce with a smile or even a tear for Zakery and know his spirit will be guiding you and with you always.

Our family will hold you and you family in our thoughts and prayers in the upcoming weeks, months ahead as you grieve. Treasure the memories and know the love shared . . . . . lasts eternally.

May God keep you in his loving arms, as you grieve and celebrate Zakery’s life. He is now resting in the arms of the Angels and may his journey to the next life be as great as he was on Earth.

“We do not forget our loss; we learn how to live with it.” . . . . .

“It’s never goodbye, it’s only “Bye for Now.” . . . . .

“Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.” – Rimi

We are sending lots of LOVE & HUGS to you all & offer our deepest condolences. ????????????

Condolence from David Verton on June 1st, 2019 2:53 PM

“Zak, The Man”, I would call him, each time, upon arrival. I would, then, place my hand on his shoulder, and say jokingly, “There’s no need to fear, Dave is here.”, and he would look over, without seeing, but yet would see, and know, I was there, and I would talk to him, throughout the evening, about nothing really.
Zak, was one of the bravest, and toughest Men, I have had the pleasure of being with.
“Zak, The Man”, you will be missed, and I am honoured, to have had you, as my friend.
