Zoe Mackenzie Detchon Obituary (1996 - 2025) - Indian Trail, North Carolina

Zoe Mackenzie Detchon crossed from this Earthly plane on November 25, 2025. She left this world the same way she came in, too early and very quickly. Zoe leaves behind her mother Zira Dawn Detchon; her three brothers: Noah Harold Cone, Carter Q Cone, and Truman Theodore Cone; her maternal grandfather Joel C. Detchon and Step-grandmother Peggy Detchon; maternal uncle Aeneas S. Detchon; her cousin Daley A. Detchon; and long time partner Ryan Holian; and a menagerie of cats and dogs. Zoe was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother Sylvia A. Smith-Graham, and soul dogs: Boswell, Birdie, Pepper, and Juliet. Zoe’s life will not be measured by the typical milestones. While she had been very successful and accomplished in school, graduating from Kokomo High School (2015) with high honors and a license in Cosmetology and having an exceptional career spanning more than seven years with many dedicated clients, Zoe’s life will be measured in broken hearts and what could have been. Like too many others, Zoe was drug addict. The drugs took away everything that could have been. Zoe loved the color pink and everything Hello Kitty. She loved her family and every dog and cat she ever met. She was beautiful, funny, talented, so brave, and so scared at the same time. She was snarky, wise beyond her years, and just a child simultaneously. She was meticulous and so messy. Her compassion, unparalleled. Zoe loved shopping at TJ Max and any thrift store. No clearance rack or bargain bin would be untouched. At almost 29 years old, she still called me Mommy. And ended every phone call with “I love you, Mommy. You the best.” My response every time, “you are, I love you, Baby.” Her effortless beauty was apparent from day one. Strangers would stop in the grocery store to comment. Servers and cashiers would compliment her makeup and bold outfits. Zoe’s family is comforted by the knowledge she is finally at peace. She is no longer hurting, and her addiction no longer determines her path. She is safe and warm. She is with Gramma, Bos, Birdie and sweet Pepper.
