Zacchary Vashun

Metcalf

Obituary Zacchary Vashun Metcalf, Sr., was born on May 6, 1966, in Memphis, Tennessee, to Mary Glenda Metcalf, who preceded him in death, and his father who is affectionately called Mickey.

He was born the third child of eight children, attended Northside High School, and completed his education through Job Corps. Zack, as he was so lovingly called by his family, confessed Christ at an early age through the assistance of his grandmother, Ollie Mae Metcalf, and became a member of Hill Chapel in Memphis, Tennessee.

Zacchary was joined in holy matrimony to the former Ms. Judith Johnson from 1994-2013. This union produced three biological children and two stepchildren.

He began his truck driving career in February 2000, which he continued until his death. He was able to take his driving
skills and join the National Guard and shortly thereafter, the US Army. He was stationed at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Zack was nicknamed "Space Cadet" by his brother Brandon, who would tease him when he would dance. Brandon joked that when Zack danced, he would leave the music behind. As the oldest brother, Zack was always protective regarding his siblings.

He leaves six children and eight grandchildren to cherish his memory: he fathered two beautiful daughters, mothered by Deborah Johnson of NC, Michelle Eversole (Roger), and Lashaun Metcalf, both of NC; his oldest son by Angela Macklin of Memphis, Tevin Metcalf; and from his marital
union, Zacchary Metcalf, Jr. (Sari) of Japan, D'onte Metcalf of Georgia, Deonna Metcalf of Virginia, Ferron Taylor of Memphis, and Latrina Moore of Olive Branch, MS. Of his siblings he also leaves two sisters, Tandra Harvey and Chasity Davis; three brothers, Orlando and Brandon Williams and
Travis Metcalf, all of Memphis, TN.

Siblings who preceded him in death were Wanda Ramos of Georgia and Tracy Metcalf of Memphis, TN. He also leaves a host of other relatives, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
