Honoring the Life of Zion ❤️

Hi, I’m Allison Janssen, and my family and I have been blessed to call the Godfrey family our neighbors for many years here in the neighborhood of West Creek Farms in Clarksville, Tennessee. The Godfrey family upholds, in every way, the values of kindness, neighborly love, reliability, and … my, are they all GOOD GOOD people. And this past Sunday, they received the kind of news parents fear most, that their son, Katrell Zion Godfrey, was one of the two teens who died in a car accident on a rainy night on Highway 24. Zion was only 18 years old, just recently having graduated a year early from West Creek High School.

When described by family, friends, and teachers, they all say how much he loved and cared for them; how sweet, respectful, polite, and humble he was in all of his relationships. Zion adored basketball, but it came second to loving and playing with his baby nephew. He cherished being an uncle! Zion was set to follow his dad and grandfather’s footsteps into the art of automotive technology, enrolled for the Spring 2025 semester at Tennessee College of Applied Technology.

Naturally, no parent or family ever plans for this order of life. We all pray our children get the opportunity to grow old and gray. That said, this page is to help support Zion’s family in this challenging time, to lift the financial burden that is present, so they can focus on honoring their son Zion and the beautiful impact he had upon all he loved.

Thank you for your support. Every little bit will help them!
