HUDSON FALLS – Zackery Allen Weller, 25 of Lower Elizabeth Street in Hudson Falls, passed away on Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
Born January 5, 1999, at Glens Falls Hospital, Zack, also known as “Bubby,” was the youngest son of Nelson and Amy (Diffee) Weller, Jr. of Hudson Falls.
Bubby was a 2017 graduate of Hudson Falls High School. If you knew Bubby, you already know that at any given time you could drive by his house and see him working on his 85’ Big Block Monte Carlo SS with his dad and brother. Zack loved his family and friends with all he had.
He had a passion for working on cars. Zack loved bringing his Monte Carlo to the Lake George Car Show with his dad by his side. Zack and his dad also loved watching their favorite movies together. Zack had a remarkable close bond with his brother Nelson that was inseparable. Fishing, having some beers, cooking on the grill and great late-night conversations were just some of the many things they loved doing together.
Bubby was the baby of the family. As his biggest fan, his mom attended and participated in many of Zacks activities. Especially bowling. He didn’t really need a bowling coach, because she was always right there being his biggest supporter and guiding him where to throw the ball. Zack adored, loved and was very protective of his sister Katelynn. They loved going to concerts, taking road trips, and having home cooked meals. Katelynn was always cooking for him.
Zack really looked up to his papa. He always knew he could count on him. Anything he needed he just had to ask. Zack was a very hard worker. He was always willing or helping someone with whatever they needed. He got his work ethic from his papa. Zack always confided in his gram. She was a HUGE contributor to his famous sneaker collection. Zack was truly grateful to her. He loved her for that and so much more.
Colton, Brayden, and Ashton were “his boys” and they will forever have their best memories of Zack. They spent weekends with their Bubby playing PlayStation and Xbox. Having late night snacks, watching movies, and going to Six Flags are just a few of the memories.
With their huge family, and all the parties, Zack couldn’t be without Tyler and Ryan. The three cousins did everything growing up. As youngsters, showing off on their bikes, doing tricks at halfpipe thrills they turned into young adults having bonfires and beers. They had an unbreakable bond that was clear to see. They were a part of Zacks favorite memories.
Zack had many friends, but he had the best group of friends that anyone would be honored to have. Damon, Tyler, Logan, Bailey, Chris, Cam, and Brennan knew Zack at his best and his worst. They played Call of Duty, rode bikes, went cliff jumping, and did late night drive-thru’s. They talked about their future and took the best “Bro Pics”.
Zack loved spending time with his second family, Timmy and Cassandra, at their Lake house and garage He also loved going with them on road trips.
Lastly, Zack was a dog dad. His dogs Gunner and Charlie were his pride and joy. He would take them for rides in the truck, camping, and swimming in the river. During the winter months he loved to take them outside so he could play in the snow with them.
