Zachary James Barras, born on January 22, 2001, left us too soon on May 14, 2026. He was a free spirit who loved the outdoors. He was known for his passion for hunting, crawfishing, fishing, and mud riding on his four-wheelers. Those who knew him can attest that the great outdoors was truly where he thrived, and his adventurous spirit will be missed by all who loved him.
