Zacharia Paul Pineda, born Aug. 30, 1968, died suddenly Nov. 20, 2011.
A native Californian, he loved the Bay Area and found much happiness in settling in Burlingame. Zac loved sports, especially his beloved Raiders, Giants and mixed martial arts. An avid wrestler at Capuchino High School and San Francisco State University, love of this sport continued with his volunteer coaching at Burlingame High School. Regular trips to Sturgis on his beloved Harley combined friendships and honored his dad, Louie Pineda.
"Always there to help, his devotion to friends stretched a network of survivors far and wide but his biggest pride was his wife and children. There could not have been a more loving husband or devoted father. He loved the weekends, his son’s soccer games, a run with his wife and pitbull or father-son wrestling; these were the pleasures that brought a deep joy to Zac.
Always the loving father, husband and friend, his life touched many and his passing will leave a deep void in many that were fortunate to have him in their life.”
Family survivors include his wife Lisa and sons Calvin and Jameson, his mother Patti Pineda and brother Gabriel, his aunts Theresa, Gloria, Lydia, Lolly and uncles Mark, Te, Brian and Paul and his cousins Amanda, Thomas, Jake, Cecilia, Paul, Lana, Julia and Alex.
His life celebration will be held 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 26 at the Elks Lodge, 938 Wilmington Ave., Emerald Hills. In lieu of flowers, a trust has been set up for Zac’s sons and donations will be received at the celebration.
