ZACKERY LEE REA
Zackery Lee Rea, 24 of Laurel, passed away on Thursday, August 19, 2021. He was born on October 29, 1996, in Cincinnati, to Donald “DJ” and Lucy Rea.
Zackery was a member of Garrison Creek Baptist Church for most of his life but attended Grace and Truth Baptist Church in Pleasant Hill, Missouri when he could.
You could often find Zack enjoying the great outdoors as long as his dad and brother could get his wheelchair up and down the many paths he travelled. He enjoyed quality time with his mom and sister when shopping, taking a nice walk, eating out or travelling back and forth from Indiana to Missouri. Zack’s favorite video was “Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree,” and he would laugh when Pooh got stung by the bees. Zack was a devoted son, brother, grandson, cousin and friend to many.
Along with his parents DJ and Lucy, he will be greatly missed by his brother, DJ Rea II, of Laurel; a sister, Emilee Rea, of Pleasant Hill, Missouri; grandparents, Al and Jody Abshear, of Laurel and John and Pat Gordon, of Falmouth; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Zackery was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Joe Hensley and Donnie Rea.
Visitation for Zackery will be held on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, beginning at 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Garrison Creek Baptist Church, 5952 S. Garrison Rd., Connersville, Indiana. The funeral service will be on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, at the church at 11 a.m. with Pastors Tim Fluty and Brent Blaise officiating. Burial will follow in Laurel North Cemetery.
