Zach visited with us last year during a Youth seminar at Maplewood Lanes. Life changes in a moment. The impact this couple made in their daily lives and Zach, in the bowling community, will live on through their memories. God bless all who cared about them. May they rest in peace.
The youth bowling community is facing heartbreaking news following reports that Zach Barton and his wife, Katie, have died in a tragic automobile accident.
Barton has been a well-known figure in youth bowling through his work with USA Bowling and youth development programs, where he has dedicated years to helping grow the sport and create opportunities for young bowlers.
News of the reported accident has sent shockwaves throughout the bowling community, with bowlers, coaches, tournament officials and families expressing their condolences and disbelief.
Our thoughts are with the Barton family, their friends, colleagues and everyone in the youth bowling community affected by this devastating report.
