October 3, 2003 - May 27, 2022
Rock Hill, South Carolina - Zachary Ty Nalley was born October 3, 2003 in Rock Hill, SC to Buford Wydale Nalley and Carrie Leanne Foster. Zach walked into the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 27, 2022 at the age of 18.
Zach was kind, softly spoken and an old soul. He always cared about everyone else around him and he was fascinated by nature. Zachary attended York Preparatory Academy and was employed at Chick-fil-A in Rock Hill where he moved up quickly into a team lead position. He was a hard worker and excelled in school. He graduated May 26, 2022 on the A honor roll.
Zach was blessed with a large and loving family. He is survived by his father and stepmother Dale Nalley and Kassey Evans of the home, his mother Carrie Foster and stepfather Chad Foster. His siblings Dezaray and fiance Joseph Sherwood, Kolby, Amber, Chandler, Alexis, Raydin, and his nephew Myles. He leaves his grandparents, Renee and Tommy Craig, Buford Nalley, Robert and Rhonda Evans, Debbie Nalley, and his maternal grandmother. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Charles Ansell and his great grandparents Charles and Raye Hinson. He is also survived by his aunts and uncles, TJ Craig and Krystal Lyons, cousin Kye, Shane and Stephanie Helms, cousins Bailey, Colby and Riley as well as numerous other aunts, uncles and cousins.
Zachary will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend.

I am at such a loss. We love Zach so much. He always had so much fun with us on vacation, and we all made wonderful memories. Madison, Ryan, Zach and I were always having fun whether it was pizza night at the house or scary movie nights we were always laughing. He always felt like a second son to me, and I certainly loved him like a second son. He was such a great kid and such a gentleman. He was such a good friend to Madison and Ryan. I can still here the boys on the phone with all of them playing some game:) They all always enjoyed that so much. You both raised such a great young man. The day of graduation he walked up to me and gave me the biggest hug and said "we did it"
I am at such a loss right now and my heart breaks, but I always hope you all know that you are in my constant thoughts and prayers. We love your family, and we will forever carry Zach in our hearts.
