Zachary Peterson, Springfield—The community is coming together to support the memorial fund for Zachary Peterson, who tragically passed away due to an overdose near a creek under an overpass in Springfield on July 31st, 2024. Zachary had struggled with addiction for many years and had moved to Springfield two years ago following his mother’s passing. He was living in a sober living facility, where he volunteered and attended church at Recovery Soldiers.
Zachary’s former partner, Chelsee Lauf, who is also the mother of their two young sons, Airius and Gabriel, organized a fundraiser to cover the costs of his memorial. Despite their relationship ending in 2020, Chelsee spoke of the love she still had for Zachary and expressed her gratitude for being named his next of kin, allowing her to handle the arrangements. Chelsee has already covered the cost of his cremation but is seeking additional support for the memorial service, with the goal set at $1,300.
The community has shown kindness and support, though the goal has not yet been met. Chelsee is thankful for any donations, whether financial or simply sharing the fundraiser, as it all helps her honor Zachary’s memory in a meaningful way.
We extend our heartfelt prayers to Zachary Peterson’s family and friends during this difficult time. May he rest in peace, and may his loved ones find strength and comfort.
