Zachary Huber Obituary

Costa Mesa - We are sad to announce the passing of Zachary Jacob Huber, who left this world on March 30, 2025, in Costa Mesa, California. Born in Evansville, Indiana on December 13, 1983, Zach lived a life full of laughter, love, and delicious food.

He was a 2002 graduate of Harrison High School and a 2005 graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Chicago.

Zach was a culinary wizard who could turn even the most basic ingredients into a gourmet masterpiece. He was also well known for his exceptional skills as a young baseball player, winning several Babe Ruth awards. Many have said that he was the greatest little leaguer ever. Zach's true passion was having a good time and making people smile. Whether it was through his signature dishes or his infectious sense of humor (Zachism), he had a way of brightening up any room he entered.

Zach leaves behind his beloved partner, Lindsay Smith and his little buddy Callahan. With Lindsay, he found true love. They always supported each other and shared a love of good food and good times. Although they never had children of their own, they created a family built on laughter and love.

He is survived by his parents, Don Huber (Patti) and Sue Hoffman. Sisters Kim Dunlap (Sam), Michelle Simon (John), and Tianna Crews (Bobby). Brothers Ryan Huber (Audrey), Kyle Hoffman (Jamie), and Josh Huber (Brittnie). Brother-in-law Bill Kimble, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will forever cherish the memories they shared with Zach. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Bud and Irene Huber, Robert and Muriel Rippey, sister Sarah Kimble, and nephew Jayden Anderson.

Zach's legacy will live on through the countless meals he cooked, the smiles he brought to people's faces, and the love he shared with everyone he met.

A celebration of life will be held at Dede's Sand Trap at Fendrich Golf Course 1900 E Diamond Ave Evansville, IN on April 13, from 5:00pm-8:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Evansville Rescue Mission. Don't forget to "keep her classy". It was a good game, but it was over way too soon.
