Zachary Tyler Kincaid

Zachary Tyler Kincaid, 20, of Scott Depot went home to be with our Lord Sunday, June 23, 2013. Tyler was loved by so many and was a true friend to everyone. He was a 2011 graduate of Winfield High School, where he was a standout baseball player. Tyler had just completed his sophomore year at West Virginia State University striving for a degree in Criminal Justice, made possible for him through a baseball scholarship. Although he succeeded in every sport he played, football, basketball; his passion was baseball and has been since he began playing at the age of 5. Pitching and playing shortstop, his first perfect game was pitched at the age of 12 with 18 home-runs scored that season. During the summers, he played on several travel teams going to several states and joining elite athletes from across the region. Many friends were made and wonderful people met during those games. Outside of baseball, Tyler’s love of hunting and fishing with his Dad, brothers and friends brought countless hours of enjoyment. His favorite spots in the world included his tree stand in Ritchie County, the Winfield Locks (Eleanor side, of course) catching fish with his buddies and a baseball field anywhere. Tyler is survived by his loving and supportive family including his parents, Barry and Shari Kincaid of Scott Depot; his brothers, Steven Krieps of Scott Depot, Jacob Kincaid of Charleston and younger brother, Dusty Kincaid of Scott Depot. His sister-in-law, Danielle Krieps and two beautiful nieces Myah and Kialey Krieps as well as a nephew due to be born in July, 2013 who is being honored to be named after Uncle Tyler, little Zachary Abel Krieps were all an important part of his life. Also surviving are his grandparents, Robert and Letha Kincaid of Ritchie County, Sharon Glassburn of Charleston; great-grandparents, Bud and Faye Utter of Moundsville and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Jacka Lee Smith and his grandfather, Roger Lee Hunt. A video presentation will begin at 7pm. A celebration of Tyler’s life will be held at 7:30pm Saturday, June 29, 2013 at Winfield High School, 3022 Winfield Road, Winfield with Dr. Ken Toler and Coach Cal Bailey speaking. A reception will follow the celebration in the school commons area. Please dress casual but respectful. Tyler touched a lot of people in his short 20 years and will be greatly missed. Heaven has gained a beautiful Angel and will be watching over us. Play Ball……
