After graduation, Zeke began his career teaching chemistry and biology in the Public School System, in Washington, Georgia, before relocating to Tampa Florida, where he taught at Robinson HS and later, Meacham Alternative School. After teaching for a few years Zeke decided to change course and master the art of sales. In 1976, he established Zekes Insurance Agency, where he continued to support his clients until his passing.

As a resident of Tampa, FL for the last 52 years, Zeke supported organizations that focused on the betterment of the community in his spare time, and sat on the Board of Directors, as Treasurer, for the Bay Area Corporations for Economic Development in Communities Inc. In his service, he was a long-time member of Beulah Baptist Institutional Church, where he served on the Trustee Board for several years and could often be found working on construction projects and repairs throughout the church as well as, at the homes of several church members and friends. When taking a break from insurance sales and handyman repairs, Zeke enjoyed attending his class reunion, Mardi Gras and visiting with friends and family. To all who knew him, Zeke was a loyal friend with a charismatic personality. Deeply loved and respected, his smile and presence will be greatly missed.
