Jason Zachry

Jason Zachry passed away on May 17, 2025 in Plano, Texas. Born on April 9, 1978 in Paris, Texas, Jason lived a life marked by adventure, a knack for fixing things, and a unique and interesting character that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Above all, Jason was a father! Everything Jason did was for his daughter, Baylee. His favorite times were joking with and loving his baby girl. He was a man who loved his family. Jason spent his entire life in the Hugo/Paris area, where he embraced the great outdoors. His love for camping, hunting and fishing was only matched by his passion for all things mechanical. A handyman at heart, Jason could often be found working on cars and trucks, sharing his knowledge and skills with those around him.

He is survived by his daughter, Baylee Zachry of Paris, Texas; father, John Zachry of Hugo, Okla.; two brothers: Chris Zachry of Swink, Okla., and Casey Zachry and wife, Jessica of Antlers, Okla.; and one sister, Jennifer Lester and Shannon of Soper, Okla.

Jason’s nieces and nephews, whom he adored, will miss his playful teasing and the wisdom he imparted. They include: Chelbi Snow and her husband, Bradley, Morgan Williams, Micah Zachry, David Pryor, Logan Zachry, Colton Lester, Tripp Zachry, Maddox Zachry, Jaxton Zachry, Brinlei Snow, Briley Snow, Amberlynn Williams, Ally Williams and Paisley Pryor. His family will cherish the memories of his larger-than-life personality and the love he had for each of them. Before his passing, Jason was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Carol Zachry; nephew, Taylor Lester; paternal grandparents: CD and Mildred Zachry, and his maternal grandparents: Bill and Joyce Taylor. Professionally, Jason was highly respected and served as a shop foreman for RK Hall for many years. His colleagues knew him as a man who was not only skilled with his hands but also possessed a mind for innovation and problem-solving. Jason’s contributions to the workplace were significant, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of working alongside him.

Those who knew Jason would describe him as a man who was adventurous, handy, and interesting. He had a way of engaging with the world that was uniquely his own, often expressing his opinions with a good-natured gripe that endeared him to friends and family alike. His laughter and stories will be missed, but the impact he made on the lives of those around him will endure.

Family and friends are invited to a Gathering of Remembrance at 7 p.m. Friday, May 23, 2025 in the Prater-Lampton-Mills & Coffey Chapel where all can share together.
