Zachary D. Epplin's Obituary
Zachary D. Epplin, 19 yrs., of Waterloo, IL, passed away at home with his family at his side. He was born in Belleville, IL, the son of Doug and Beverly, nee Meyer, Epplin, who survive him. Zac loved being the big brother of the family and always had a bit of advice or a good practical joke ready for us. He loved his pets very much and had hoped to one day become a veterinarian. He was very proud to have been teammates with his high school soccer team. Zac liked to fish and hunt and grill up a good meal to share with us. He put his family and friends above himself and we were all blessed to have known him even if it was only for a short time.
