Michael Zentz Obituary

Michael Taylor Zentz, born March 27, 1995, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, left this life and joined his heavenly Father, on February 20, 2014. Born to Maureen (Wirkes) Zentz and Michael Zentz. He is their only child.



Michael was a warrior who's love was strong and true,

and our lives were touched and blessed in ways we never really knew.



He dreamed to be a doctor and change the way the world,

never really listens when a heart is lonely and broke.



So it's time for a new season to let Michael's life live on,

by choosing life with Jesus and writing a new song.



"There is no greater Love than to lay down ones life for ones friends"

John 15:13

Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time carrying our hopes for love, joy and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere ,every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. So when you see a hummingbird know that Michael is looking in on you.
