Advanco Medical Inc. owner Zackary Zaremba, 50, passed away Tuesday at Bothwell Regional Health Center in Missouri.

Zaremba worked at both Bothwell Regional Health Center and Western Missouri Medical Center, and owned both Advanco Medical Inc. and Flying Z Stables. A life-time member of the Missouri Foxtrotter Association, Zaremba raised Foxtrotters and enjoyed trail riding.

"He was always in a good mood," Donna Watson, an association employee, told DOTmed News.

Joe Zaremba, who also works for Advanco Medical Inc. told DOTmed News his brother was a "real good people person."

Joe will continue running the business with his brother Jack.

"In a family business when you lose a major, important key, it's possible but it's tough," Joe says.

A childhood friend recalls the "Zac" she knew in grammar school on an online guest book for the Sedalia Democrat. "He was the funniest kid," writes Julie Flippin of Moscow Mills, Mo. "He was always getting me to laugh, which in turn, I would end up in on the front row of the classroom, in trouble again...He is now making others laugh in God's house."

He is survived by his wife, Terry Dietzman, five children, six grandchildren, three brothers and his mother, Elsie Zaremba.
