Obituary
PETTLEY, Zachary David George
Passed away unexpectedly at Grand River Hospital with his family by his side on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at the age of 10.
Loving son of Stephanie and Michael Pettley of Elmira. Cherished grandson of Dawn and the late David Koebel of Elmira with whom he shared a special bond; always papa’s little buddy. Loved nephew of Shannon and Brad Frey of Elmira, Lisa and Tim Pettley of Kitchener, and Raymond Pettley of Kitchener. He will be missed by cousins Logan and Seth Pettley; Brooklyn and Hudson Frey. Adored by many great aunts and uncles, particularly his second “papa” Brad Wilken and family.
Zachary was predeceased by his paternal grandparents George and Florence (nee Dubé) Pettley.
Zach (Zig) will be remembered for his infectious smile when he entered a room. He loved spending time with his family and could always get the party started by having everyone play one of his favourite board or card games. He was a Pokémon fanatic and could always be found collecting cards or playing the latest video games with his friends. Zach was a kind, sensitive and compassionate boy who loved all animals but cared deeply for his dogs, Dexter and Delilah. His curious mind always had him searching for cool insects and wildlife. Always full of energy, Zach took karate lessons, adored fishing with his dad, was a member of the Woolwich Wave swim team and KidZone at Wallenstein Bible Chapel. He was very creative and expressed his artistic talents through his drawings; his attention to detail was superb.
Even though his time was short, he went on many adventures with his family including: Niagara Falls, Florida (Disney World), Myrtle Beach, Mexico and summers at the trailer in Belwood.
The love and joy he brought to so many lives will never be forgotten. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. You are so loved.
