The Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana has adopted a resolution expressing heartfelt condolences on the passing of Zachary "Zac" Funderburk, who died unexpectedly at the age of twenty-seven on March 22, 2024. A native of Louisiana, Zac was a talented athlete, excelling in wrestling and cross-country during his time at Parkway High School in Shreveport, where he earned multiple accolades, including back-to-back state wrestling championships. He continued his athletic career at Briar Cliff University, where he became a notable collegiate wrestler, achieving significant milestones and earning recognition for his skills.

After graduating, Zac pursued a career in the United States Marine Corps but was medically discharged due to a back injury. He then transitioned to a role as a wildlife agent with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, where he was celebrated for his dedication to public service and his passion for the outdoors. The resolution honors Zac's memory and contributions, extending condolences to his family and loved ones, while also recognizing the impact he made on those around him through his faith, selflessness, and enthusiasm for life. A copy of the resolution will be sent to his family as a gesture of sympathy and appreciation for his service.
