Zachary was born April 15, 1997, in Amarillo, TX, to Clinton and Ranea McPherson. Since he was a child, he was a freestyle BMX rider. He grew up and hung out with his best friend and cousin, Eric, who was like his brother. As a teenager, he attended the youth group at Grace Church, where he was saved.

Following graduation from Amarillo High School in 2015, he went to work for Tyson where he earned his role as a lead person. Zachary was driven to succeed and at the end of his Tyson career he put himself through CDL school and was interested in starting a contracting business.

Zachary loved to play all types of games, from darts to pool, and other family games, Zachary enjoyed them all. He was a great friend, very social, the life of the party, and outgoing. Zachary had many, many friends, which he was always willing to help out. He had a great sense of humor, which was sometimes sarcastic, and he just loved giving everyone a hard time. Zachary was happiest when friends and family were together.
