Zam grew up in the Bena area and entered the Army after school. He along with three of his brothers served in the Viet Nam War. The Losh family was one of the lucky families to have all four boys come back from the war. Zam lived in Bena for 65 years where he raised two boys Carl and Warren. He loved to deer hunt, go ricing, trapping, netting, camping, and spending time at pow-wows with his brother Bobby. Zam and his granddaughter Shyanne spent lots of time together riding the 4-wheeler and he loved taking rides out in the woods. In his later years he really enjoyed taking his dog Daisy to the DQ in Cass Lake to get plain burgers. Zam was always there to help anyone who needed him. He might have grumbled a bit, but he would always do what was asked of him.

Zam was preceded in death by his parents Charles and Irene, grandparents, sisters; Leota "Mickey" and Gloria, nephew; Darrin, numerous aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his sons; Carl (Tracy) White of Bena, and Warren White of Bena, brothers; Leonard "Beboy" (Marolyn) Losh of Cass Lake, Lyman "Dede" (Joann) Losh of Sugar Point, Melvin Losh of Bena, Robert (Peggy) Losh of Nut Hill, and Rayis "Bro" (Doreen) Losh of Bena, grandchildren; Carl White, Jr., Shyanne White, Stephen White, Vanessa White and Martin Raines, great grandchildren; Amera and Mae White.
