Red Bluff, CA—The Red Bluff community is heartbroken by the passing of Zach Sylvia, a cherished coach, husband, and father. Zach passed away in the early hours of August 14th, 2024, after valiantly battling end-stage heart failure. He was deeply loved by his wife, Jessica Sylvia, and their two sons, Sebastian and Christian.
Zach’s sudden departure has left a void in the lives of those who knew him. Known for his infectious laughter and the light he brought to every room, Zach was more than just a coach; he was a pillar of strength and a source of unwavering support to his family, friends, and the entire community. His passion for coaching, especially while guiding his son’s high school football team, was evident in every aspect of his life. Tragically, it was during one of these moments of dedication that Zach suffered a heart attack, leading to his untimely passing despite a grueling 12-hour surgery and an emergency life-flight to San Francisco.
A fundraiser organized by Ashley Brooks on behalf of Jessica Sylvia has raised $10,161 of its $35,000 goal to support the family in this difficult time. The community has shown tremendous support, with donations coming from people who were touched by Zach’s kindness and generosity. The top donation of $1,000 was made anonymously, reflecting the deep respect and admiration many held for Zach.
On Facebook, Samuel Ditty shared a heartfelt message, "Extra prayers for my friend Zach Sylvia and his family. We love you, Zach." This sentiment echoes the widespread grief and love that the community feels for the Sylvia family.
We extend our deepest condolences to Jessica, Sebastian, Christian, and all who knew and loved Zach. May the memories of his warmth, kindness, and unwavering dedication bring some comfort during this time of profound loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sylvia family during this incredibly difficult time.
