Zach was born on February 18, 1988 in Canton, Ohio to Dale and Jacalyn (Mucklow) Slagle.
He was a 2006 graduate of McKinley Senior High School. He loved sports and after playing for the Bulldogs went on to play football at The Ohio State University. He had many offers to play elsewhere, but his passion was for the Buckeye’s and he joined the team as a walk on. He also played on teams in Florida, France and Norway.
Zach was known for his kind and generous spirit, involving himself in many charitable causes and giving back to the community. Some of his favorites were the Polar Bear Plunge and Project St. Nicholas Returns, where he would dress up as Santa and hand out gifts to under privileged kids. He loved traveling with friends, and easily made new ones wherever he went. He loved his time coaching with the McKinley Freshman team, and enjoyed HOF activities and trivia night at Harmon’s Pub, winning many nights.
He is survived by his father, Dale; mother, Jacalyn; step-mother, Lisa; sister, Megan; brother, Nickolaus; sister, Brandi; brother-in-law, Herschel; step-sister and brother, Shawna and Justin; grandmother, Myrna and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and countless friends.
