Davidson County, NC – The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office is mourning the sudden death of former deputy Zach Cash, remembered by colleagues and community members as a dedicated public servant, mentor, and family man.
According to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office, Cash died Saturday, December 20, 2025, at the age of 40. The agency shared a public statement honoring his service and the lasting influence he made both inside and outside of law enforcement.
Cash served with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office from November 2008 through April 2009. While his tenure as a deputy was brief, the Sheriff’s Office said his impact was significant. Colleagues described him as a trusted squadmate who quickly built strong relationships and supported fellow deputies during challenging moments.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that Cash was known for connecting easily with others and even helped the department’s “Law Dawgs” softball team secure several wins during his time there.
After leaving law enforcement, Cash chose to focus on his family and pursue opportunities outside the profession. According to the statement, that decision ultimately led him into coaching and mentorship roles, where he influenced hundreds of young people and families through athletics.
“While we lost a great deputy so long ago, the county would gain an amazing coach, leader, and mentor,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote, emphasizing the ripple effect of Cash’s work in youth development.
The agency expressed deep condolences to Cash’s family, friends, former teammates, and those impacted by his sudden passing, stating that his spirit lives on through the many lives he touched.
