Zachary Lahsen Lekna's Obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Zachary Lahsen Lekna, age 20, on December 15, 2024. Zachary was born on November 5, 2004, to his loving parents, Jennifer (née Rayle) Lekna and Mohamad Lekna.
Zach was the beloved grandson to Linda and the late John "Paka" Rayle, and great-grandson to the late John and Ruth Jacobson. He was the cherished nephew of John and Kelly Rayle and had many cousins who will miss him dearly. He also leaves many relatives in North Carolina, Morocco and France.
He is remembered fondly for the love of his pets, including his cats, Zoey and the late Rosie, and his loyal dog, Bella. Zach leaves behind a group of amazing friends who were like family to him.
Zach's love for sports, particularly basketball and the Cleveland Cavaliers, was well-known among his friends and family. From a young age, he was also a true foodie, always eager to explore new cuisines and flavors. Zach found fulfillment in his work and aspired to become a nurse, driven by a deep desire to help children and the elderly. His adventurous spirit and passion for life were evident in everything he did.
Zach's memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. His warmth, enthusiasm, and love for life will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.
A private graveside ceremony will be held at Sunset Memorial Park.
