Support for the family of Zach Thicksten

In Memoriam, Fundraiser for the Thicksten Family

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Zach Thicksten was tragically killed in a plane crash on Friday, June 18, while flying solo. Zach was an accomplished pilot who had a passion for flying that started at the age of 16 with his first solo flight.  He was instrument rated at the age of 20. First responders were on the scene quickly, freeing Zach from the wreckage. He was then rushed to Baptist Health Medical Center but could not be saved.

Zach leaves behind his beloved wife, Ruthie, and three children, Emery (6), Luke (4), and Shepherd (15mo). Support pledged to this Go Fund Me  will help cover the funeral expenses, Zach's medical bills, and ongoing support of Zach’s young family, as he was the sole provider of income for his wife and children.

Any support you can pledge to the family would be greatly appreciated. We ask that you keep the Thicksten Family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ❤️
