Zachary Joseph Lippa, known to friends and family as Zack, passed away peacefully in his sleep on
September 9, 2023, in Banning, California. Born July 4, 1980, in Rochester, New York, Zack was a vibrant,
passionate individual who left a significant impact on everyone he met.
Zack was the loving son of Bonita Lippa and the late Frank J. Lippa. He was a cherished brother to Adam
Lippa and sister-in-law Rosie Olvera. As an uncle, he was adored by Christian Winters, Delayna Winters,
Kelsie Felix, and Guil Felix. He was also a doting great-uncle to Grayson, Autumn, and Guil. He now joins his father Frank J. Lippa and grandparents, Frank J. Lippa Sr & Jean Lippa and Connie & Sam Fortunato in everlasting life.
Educated at East Ridge High School, Zack was a lifelong learner who was always interested in expanding
his knowledge. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish and successfully run his own business,
Specialized Power. His drive and dedication were not only evident in his professional achievements but
also in his active involvement in the local business community.
Zack was a man of many passions. He was a long-time dedicated fan of the Buffalo Bills and the New York
Yankees, rarely missing a game. His love for exotic cars was well known among his friends and family. His
enthusiasm was infectious, and he had a knack for making any event a fun and memorable experience.
Zack was a man who found his purpose in life and pursued it, from coast to coast, with relentless passion
and determination. His life was a testament to his belief in the power of hard work, perseverance, and
the importance of living life to the fullest.
Zack's passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill. He had a unique ability to light up any room with
his presence, and he was known for his generosity and zest for life. He was a loyal friend, a loving family
member, and an inspiring entrepreneur. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all those who
were fortunate enough to know him.
As we mourn the loss of Zack, we also celebrate a life well-lived. His spirit, passion, and love for life will
continue to inspire those who knew him. He will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the
hearts of his family, friends, and community.
